Final Post Number 6

Motivation, self-motivation that is, is the inner desire to succeed at any given task. Self motivation is what separates the leaders from the followers. This is because when a task gets hard or monotonous, someone keeps going and another takes a break or gives up, most people will look at the one who keeps going and understand they need that to lead them. Other can see a self driven push, and the work is not easy, so those who push are leaders, those who have self inner motivation are those who succeed in life.

"Abdul, thank you for your newsletters, and thank you for talking with us personally and sharing articles that you feel are important. My biggest problem is motivating myself when all of my team members have given up. I feel as if I am the only one who cares about the projects, and if I do not go as rapid as possible then we will all fail, if I slack off it is the whole group who fails, what techniques do you have?"

I understand how you may feel at this moment. My first year in college I was not able to focus in groups because so many people did not care, I felt like a geek for caring, but then looked at my grades and realizes I do not deserve a low grade. In a team, the teacher will know who does the work, do your best and realize the team may not appreciate your input, but the professor will.

Relaxation is a technique that is incredibly difficult to master the busier life gets. The more leadership roles that a person receives in life, the more responsibilities they will have. these responsibilities bring in many more stresses. These stresses cause us to be less than perfect leaders over time because of the impact it has to their day to day life.

"Abdullah, I am dealing with a lot of stress right now, I am worrying so much about my classes next semester and how I will pay for the tuition for them. I am working two jobs this summer and they each are around six hours a day, so half the day I work. I am a leader, I work like one, I do not want stress to get to me, I feel like it is taking too long to get in the right groove."

You will need to understand that this is a time you should look at to prove yourself. Working this hard right now is incredibly necessary. Having two jobs shows that a person can handle anything, and that they do not mind working and earning their wage. while other people your age are out there not working hard or being too lazy, you are out there, these skills show very well on a resume.
