"I have no motivation to start studying"
Maybe I am reading into this a little too far but let me try and get my point across anyway.
Studying entails using your memory to learn facts, situations and methods in order to better reflect intelligence. But then if it is just memorising these things, is intelligence even at play? I think not. Or am I just being dumb? Instead of testing intelligence maybe our memory is rather being tested. I find this wrong, which brings me to my point: Why do we not have motivation at times to do certain work, study for tests or prepare for oral tasks? The answer is simple. Today, useless tasks such as memorising facts and testing memory defines who we are after school and the lack of motivation proves that we do not want it to be so. Why is our success defined by these dumb tasks? Motivation comes when we are genuinely interested. So that is why I think that lazy people at school level may not always be lazy in the years to come, but instead need something that interests their person. Success is easily achievable and finding it hard to study must not be seen as failure.
Peace out, yo.
