just finished studying bio...had a interesting conversation with one of my good friends...learn lots of things from him...well, i think i have fixed my mind now that i am gonna focus on my studies...and i have gotta leave all my friends aside...it is kind of selfish but this is how most great people achieve their goals...i wish that there is someone that will climb up with me this road to success...but i began to realise that this is not gonna be possible...sometimes climbing up the peak has to be a long and lonely road...coz if i were to wait for everyone...i doubt i can even achieve my goals...too many things have happened and many things are pulling me back...i have gotta get out of my misery now...and shall take this long and lonely road myself...why is this happening? i wanted that someone to climb up the peak with me...but i realise that it is not possible to change people overnight...yes, i wanna help, but changing people need lots of effort and time...well, talking about motivation...there are two types of motivation...forced motivation and self motivation... an example is: people generally have to be forced to study before they will have the discipline to get their work done by themselves...so just like when we are young, our parents will like nag and scold us constantly until this good habit is instilled into us...so that as we get older we can be self motivated to achieve our goals...motivation has got to do with what we want in our lives...when one has no direction in life, it is not possible to go far...coz you are just walking aimlessly down a road without knowing what you want to achieve...also, we have got to learn to choose the type of friends we want to mix with...we have got to mix with more successful people...people with substance... so as to get the right influence in our lives...i am not trying to say that i despise people who are lousy...but mixing with the wrong group of people will bring one down...just like having friends around you who love party and fun...i mean it is human nature to get tempted to join in the fun...aren't i right? even how discipline one can be...we will still tend to fall into the trap...what i have realised is that...if one wants to be successful, one will need to have what it takes...just like if one wants to study medicine, you have got to meet up to the qualities of a doctor...if one doesn't have it, then you've got to change it...or else however great your dream is, it will just be a dream only...the world is a selfish place...and it is not going to wait for you to change...it is all up to oneself to how determine you are to achieve your goals!
