Motivation

I've just a few words to talk about motivation. Being motivated is one good thing... Like going around finding for motivational quotes or maybe being motivated by your own idol, teacher or friend. BUT, one main thing I have in mind is that... how long do those motivations actually last? A week? A day? An hour... or worse? I don't know about others, but that's the case that happens often to me... I believe it happens too a lot to some others.. Especially when people like us don't have this solid mindset of being that! And so, are these motivational quotes useful for long term purposes, which is the main point. No point yourself motivated today and back to the old self the next day.

I have this thought since two of my friends, one guy and a girl argued about girls reading motivational books like "How to build your confidence?". He said that it is useless to read such things and I for sure was on the girl's side as I myself love such books. I used to read them during my break in work. But, after that argument, I had myself thinking... Why do guys actually think that it's useless when all the information in there are so solid and needed in life? Guys are known for being more logical while girls are more emotional. So, I twisted my thinking to think in a guy's perspective.

And this is my answer for it. I believe that... Does reading them makes you being them? Those perfect human beings explained in the book? Those who are liked by almost everyone, those who are confident in life to do whatever they believe is right and so on.... You know what's right.. But the MAIN point here is to apply them! Do we? I know I don't always. Or most of the time it won't even last.

But don't mistaken my words... These motivational stuffs are good. I'm still a fan of these. But what I believe is more realistic is that... we learn and build our own confidence by our own action and thinking. By committing more mistakes we learn that how things go wrong due to our actions and lessons are learned. These are vital experience and also main motivations which we will bring to death. Motivations that won't leave our memory...
