Things I Do To Keep Myself Motivated

I as a student and may facing with other challenging world outside need inspiration or motivated to gear up things and get going. So, the self motivaton is one of the best way and effective techniques for students. These are a few simple steps I'm doing to keep myself motivated.

     Firstly, as a student as well as a human being, we set a dream to achieve our target. So am I. It is essential to have a dream goal or a dream target set before you start working towards it. I set a target that is difficult but not impossible. I set a big dream as only then I will have a challenge to fulfill. For example, I set my goals to get a PhD before age of 40. I set that age to get PhD because I as a lady have many commitment towards family especially afte get married.

      After that, I plan steps to achieve that goal. Once I have set a goal, I write it down or have it carved on my mind until I reach it. One of the best self motivation is to chalk out two plans which I think will make I reach my goal. If one fails, I always have the option. For example, I can continue study in university or if I have other commitment, I can study by doing it at Open University. But I should try and make your plans as fool proof as possible.

     We can't only dream and plan without execute it to get what we have set. Due to the sequences, after I dream, set a goal, draw a plan and so comes execution of the plan. I have no time to waste and never proscrastinate. It is fine even if I begin with a small thing. This is one of the most important technique on start studies. I have plan carefully because time never wait for us but we have to run to it.

     Besides that, one of the best motivation techniques is to optimize. Now in one waay, I need to optimize my resources to the best use. Get along with people who have similar goals, make the best use of knowedge, put all the things that I have to best use. After that, have an optimistic attitudes as only that is going to take me half way to success.

     The best part I like to do is reward myself. Who does not like a fete or a praise for the works and hard work that has been undertaken all the while. I myself motivation techniques, I need to reward for every small achievement, for reaching every small goal that I have planned. Reward is still consired as one of the best and effective motivation techniques known to man or otherwise I also be bored. For example, I like to reward myself by go on tourism especially to the place that have their own history like Malacca and Langkawi or even Sarawak. I really don't like to shopping even this is girl's mostly activities.

     Lastly, one of  the most important in self motivation techniques is I will make sure that I will never give up, no matter how difficult or hard. If I give up, I will never get or even achieve my goals that I mentioned at the top just now. Because perseverence leads to success.

A Letter To My Mother

Instead of Mother's Day will be coming on 3 months, I want to share with you a letter I create to my mom.
    
     Dear Mom,
     I never realize how difficult being a mother is. Now I wish I would help you more with the chores around our home. I wish I would have known the exhaustion that a mother feels at the end of each day. You never stopped loving me and you never left me even at times you probably felt like it.
     I always had a new pair of sneakers at the beginning of each school year, and you woukd wear the same pair of sneakers for 5 or more years. You always put me the first and yourself second. There are so many thing you did without a secong thought. You took care of me when I was sick even I'm in university.You went nights without sleep from worrying. There are so many more things that I could list, but never be able to remember them all.
     I took up most of your time, leavingg you with no time for yourself. You put aside your hobbies such as planting flowers, and you barely took the time out to have a coffee with your friends.
     What sacrifice ou made to raise me. Thank you Mom, so much, for every second of he day that you cared and guided me to be who I am today.
     I have to say it again, Mom. Thank you with all my heart, and I want to tell you that I love you so much, much and much and that I am so proud to tell people that you are my mother.
     I hope that I can do a great job being a mom just like you and have been to me.

My New Resolution

     Every people, of course have a new year resolution and they think without the wish, the new year may not complete. Usually, they wish to have a good healthy, get more money, and for student, they want to achieve a best grade in their examination. Instead of achieving a best grade, I also want to collect and keep coins as much as I want. Is it weird? Some people will say yes, because coins can be collected anytime. But for me, it is interesting because when I have so much coins, I can keep it in a beautiful box in my cupboard. It is a fun for me.

     Besides, when I have coins, it make easier for me to buy things when shopping at mall. It also make the cashier no need to give back the exchange money to the customer if the customer give coins, like me. But the difficulties is, I have to carry so much coins and very weight. So, the make it easy, I have to divide into different value of the coins. For example, 10 cent with 10 cent, 50 cent with 50 cent and so on. I also collected 5 cent. Maybe some people will say impossible to bring along cents everywhere for buying something. But for me, it is fun because my parent teaches me about small business. So, I think this situation make the cashier's job easy. I've been taught to do this since I am 6 years old.

     I will never stop my hobby until I died even it is only 5 cent. I also make a wish I will teach my children to collect and keep coins. After that, that coins can keep in the bank we choose.

The Difficult Decision

    The first day I got a call from UPNM make me worried about my ambition.. Actually, I want to be a teacher after finished my STPM exam. I want to follow my mother's career.. When I got that call, I'm working as a clerk. After going home from work, I discussed with my parent about my chances to get a better job in future if i chosed this university. For a few days, I became clumsy and so complicated on making a good decision.
     My mother told me that as along as so many teachers in my family including my cousins, so my mother ask me to get the chances given to me for further study in UPNM. While my father just let me decide which one I want to go because on the same time, I also got a called from UMS in Sabah, which offered me in political science course.  I think if I'm in Sabah, it's difficult for me to going home because i have to book a ticket for flight. After discussed n prayed, finally I chosed UPNM.
     But the problem is, I as a civilian have to compete with cadets as this university mostly concured with cadets. Many stories I've heard from the foundation students that there are a lot of challenges when studied with them. So I have to faced it as long as a I want to be here for a long time. I tried my best to adapt myself with this environment. So far, there is no problem but just the management is slow..
