Motivation In Life

Many people struggle with motivation. They lack enthusiasm, show no interest in working toward goals, and seem unmoved by any incentive. But why is this so? Why are some people unmotivated? What's really going on?

Factors Affecting Our Mindset

Our expectations and thinking patterns are shaped by various factors, both known and unknown:

Known Factors:

  • Personal thinking patterns
  • Environmental circumstances
  • Early upbringing
  • Lifestyle choices
  • Cultural background
  • Family support
  • Social connections
  • Individual intelligence

The Mystery of Human Response Even with similar backgrounds and circumstances, two people might react completely differently to the same situation. The human mind remains largely mysterious, making it difficult to predict responses or outcomes.

The Complexity of Motivation

Consider these examples:

  • You might be highly motivated for one task but completely disinterested in another
  • A mathematician might be thrilled by complex equations but unmoved by beautiful music
  • A musician might be equally excited by both mathematics and music

The human mind is incredibly complex, and we often don't fully understand our own:

  • Few people can truly claim to know their own minds
  • While we may understand our abilities and desires
  • Predicting our reactions to situations remains challenging

Finding Personal Solutions

Breaking free from demotivation requires:

  • Self-reflection
  • Personal initiative
  • Individual action

While external support helps:

  • Friends and family can provide encouragement
  • Medical science can offer assistance
  • The final journey must be made by the individual

Supporting Others

If you notice a friend becoming demotivated:

  • Offer inspiration and support
  • Even from a distance, you can help by:
    • Sending inspirational e-cards
    • Sharing motivational quotes
    • Suggesting uplifting content
    • Providing encouragement

Remember: Everyone needs a boost sometimes. Be ready to motivate those who need it.

I am an AIESECer!! So proud of me

It's now February, which means that last month was January and next month is March. It's now the 17th, meaning that yesterday was the 16th, and tomorrow is the 18th.

I am now an AIESECer. What is AIESEC? Google it. I am now in talent management. Why am I proud to be an AIESECer? Google it. Why don't I explain it here? Because I want you to know about AIESEC in advance.

I've changed my future plans but my goal hasn't changed. Yes, I want to continue my education in Europe, especially Finland. In the near future, my goals are: consistently maintaining a GPA above 3.0 on a scale of 4, saving money to get an internship in Singapore, working for 1 year in a multinational company, and getting a master's degree in Finland.

With AIESEC, I feel happy. I am now with the team as family; we complement each other. My immediate goal is to help AIESEC President University become established.
