Had you heard your teacher told you “You will never graduate college, because you’re dumb” or had your heard your brother say the word “You will never get successful, so not dreaming anymore and stay being a sales boy in the Public Market”? If you do, don’t gave up motivate yourself.
Those words I heard personally, by the person who actually heard those painful words. How to do your best if no one motivates you? How to face the problem if you’re alone and being alone is your problem? How do deal with yourself if the only person who’s on your side was yours alone?
Hi I’m Eunoia, This is my entry for the second prompt of @JonicaBradley I want to motivate you to join the exercise, it’s for everyone specially those writers who losses topic this day ha-ha. The word is “Motivation” share your thought and ideas in the subject. This is not a contest it’s a community bridge for all of us.
When I was in college I began to understood life, I become an adult and self-dependent. I interact with people whose everyone has an interesting story, some of them I didn’t really know because we just talked and the next day it's done. Some stay at my side from four years in stress academic until were facing a new chapter in our professions.
I always comfortable with those people tell me their past, even how bad it is, or what record written their names, I don’t care. I just want an honest and real person, I don’t easily trust anyone that’s my issue. I need to check if they are worth sharing my past and secret. One thing if the person knew a lot of personal thing about me he will stay as my friend and brother forever.
The Dude Who Told Never Graduate
I was there actually when the professor shamed this person in our class. At first, I don’t know that he will be going to be my best buddy, he’s looking like a gangster and troublemaker. Everyone laughs like they don’t care about the feelings of this man, he’s a trouble maker so they are happy to see him kick out the school. Later I know he takes those words personally. That he said he cried when no one faces him, that the start of change.
He motivates himself when the teachers and his ex-mates laughed at him that day he promised himself that they are wrong and he will succeed. But destiny is a player, time passing and the second year wasn’t that easy as the first semester in freshman. Some are backing and he wants to be one.
Second-year its first semester he said his goodbye to us, he told us that he won't be at our side the next day, we asked why? He said his parents agreed that he will stop college. Those words from the textbook aren’t for him. He finds trouble in reading, he wasn’t sure for what he computes in Algebra. They tried to study but nothing happened.
My one mate is smart he agreed that he will make the reviewer and I will be the one who will teach things he didn’t know. We did still no effect. So we forced to cheat. Yeah, it’s too risky but worth it for me. Curious about the setup? Haha, we made agreed that we must come to the exam room earlier than the other, and we set the chairs, for he will see my paper. I don’t know but I feel like the teacher also wants me to help him, she didn’t get strict when we’re sitting with each other. Everyone knew I won’t cheat on my exam because they knew I can perfect those if I really want LOL.
Here's the thing, maybe the teacher tells those words to him to encourage him to get out from the gang he was in before. She made this word even its too crucial to force him. And I know I motivate him also in a bad manner, I won't lie to you about what we did for many years.
But seeing him now makes me proud, he found a permanent job first than me, he always thanks me and I always refuse. In the larger sense, I am not the person who motivates him; he did it on his own. He thinks I help him a lot but for me it NO.
We can’t help a person who can’t help itself, so motivation comes in our self-first before others
The Dude Who Told Once Before That He Will Never Get Successful
I always call him “Press” short for president, he was our president from the first year to last. He is a brother figure to me because he was older than me with 5 years gap. I don’t want to call her “Kuya” or older brother I want to treat him as my age.
It's actually too awkward when he told me those painful words. As a college, we don’t change the fact that we could face drunk friends, and he is the best drunk ever I met. I observed him that night, I feel like he's weird and start doing what wasn’t normal in his behavior so I knew he's drunk.
I sit close to him and ask him If he could escort me somewhere else, and he agreed. At that moment I can't stop myself from laughing. He told me he never gets drunk before it's his first time. And he doesn’t know how to handle the alcohol in his body, later I found myself listening to his story for two hours. Yeah, that was too long, still, I don’t bother myself. I listen to him, maybe that was the moment he waiting for that he could spill those words inside him.
I was proud of him because even in how hell the place he lived in, he still manages to motivate himself to study, even his age wasn’t in line with everyone, even his allowance came from his Saturday and Sunday job. He was full of motivation and that makes him also a Licensed Professional Agriculturist.
Motivation comes naturally even we lived in unpleasant surroundings, when we want to, there’s always a way.
Motivate Yourself If No One Does
I know some of the readers under an unmotivated state right now, it's fine to see those friends of mine. They manage to motivate themselves even no one does, so keep up. To motivate yourself you only need one person to believe. And that is you alone.
