Right now at the moment i am trying to be more motivated. I really am wanting to be more productive through this year.

I feel being more motivated to what i am focusing on will help me a lot. I find being motivated makes me want to finish my work and homework. it makes me want to be more productive and more organised. i have been trying to organize my self and being organised really has helped me and made me feel better about myself.

lately i have been watching tuns of you tube videos on how to be more productive. but what i actually think is rather than taking someone else's advice you listen to your own. following other peoples ways on how to be is more harder than creating your own way.

I think its more harder to try be motivated than actually being motivated. i have always been wanting to be motivated but i found it hard. I would always be distracted and not wanting to do anything. But sometimes i think you just need to be inspired. Or wait for a fresh new start. i've learnt that it takes patience.

You argue with the umpire because there is nothing else you can do about it.

I write my books in my head, and not in a specific study with a view. The view is from my inner eyes.

I did get a very fine education, and not just in science. It took some pressure on the part of my elders to convince me that I really should take an interest in humanities.

I came from a family where, you know, we sat down at the table every night, and you better have a story to tell. My father never wrote his stories down. And you know, I learned that they went farther if you wrote them down.
