Passion Ignites MotivationIt's hard to do well in a subject you don’t like. This is probably the #1 reason people prefer college over high school. In high school, you are expected to perform well in topics that don't interest you. For example, do I see future me as a mathematician? No. Math doesn't interest me in the slightest. I must work extra hard in that class because I lack any kind of motivating interest. However, in college, you get to choose your favorite topics from high school and expand on those.
This concept may seem out of context, but it was very relevant for me this week. Last week's POW I absolutely hated, and trying to write an essay on it was torture. I was literally counting down minutes until the class ended. But, this week when I sat down to write a paper on 'An Elegy in X Parts' I never stopped typing. In fact, when the bell rang I was disappointed because I didn't get all my ideas down. Why was it 100% easier for me to write about this? Probably because I 100% enjoyed this poem more than last week's. There’s probably some kind of mathematic ratio there. Interest in something fuels passion, passion ignites motivation, motivation leads to learning, and learning leads to betterment. It really has a lot more to do with skill than most people recognize. A really good life hack would be to just get passionate about learning, and then everything would come easier. https://plantingmoneyseeds.com/develop-lifelong-passion-learning-rewards-brings/
