Thank you Lord for the info. I'll tell her about this. This is exactly what she wants to do and she is good at it. Very talented. I will show her your post and she may get in touch with you if that's ok.
Thanks again.

 

Shinji,

You sound like me about six years ago when I was 22. I was going to college, not because I wanted to, but because I felt that I was suppose to. I switched from major to major because I had no passion for any of the ones I chose. The only thing that stayed constant was my hobby, which was cars. That's what I chose to "mess" with in my free time. Not because I had to , but because I wanted to.
Then at my friend's graduation at Loyola Marymount, Micheal Armstrong, the C.E.O. of AT&T, spoke about choosing a path based on your desires and expectations, and not anyone elses.
After that speech, I aborted my pusuit of Physical Therapy, and went on as a management trainee at America's Tire Company. I talk and "play" with cars all day now, and get paid for it. Very different from my other friends from college. I can assure you that I enjoy my job more than anyone of them.
Find your passion, and there lies your motivation. Do not settle for anything less. Good Luck !!!!

 

Buddhism, martial arts, meditation, school.... Just fighting against laziness will eventually lead to happiness

 

what keeps me focused and motivated?

1. I write down all my goals on paper no matter how small it is. This way, when I did accomplish that goal, I could go and check it off.

2. Keep practicing doing what you do. For example, I'm in sales, so in order for me to do good at it, I go to seminars, read sales books, etc. Basically practice, practice, practice.

3. If you have someone in your life that makes you happy(like a girlfriend or wife), that motivates me to work harder and keeps me focused with what I want to accomplish in life.
