Choosing to Succeed
A Blog by Mrs. G about Finding Intrinsic Motivation
Wouldn’t it be different to view information and school in a proactive way?
Do you know what people who strive for success think about? They value information.
Steve Jobs (Apple, Pixar) values information. He saw knowing something about computers as a way to change they way people apply information and spend their time. He was a part of creating the personal computer, the concept of having an information computing machine in your house.
Successful people see knowing information as an edge on everyone else in that field. Competitive people think that way too. The good, confident, people share what they know with others.
Intelligent adults read a lot because they figured out that how much a person knows about “what’s going on in the world around them” is part of their self value.
Information is now at your fingertips. Everyone should have something(s) they find interest in and strive to know a lot about it.
What do you think the magazine industry strives upon? It strives upon people wanting the inside information about their interests.
You can tell negatively tell yourself that you have to be here. You can tell yourself that you are forced to choose classes. Or, you can remind yourself that you chose this class. Out of all the electives offered you chose this class. You are empowered to feel the way you feel. The powerful thing to realize is that you have a choice to control the thoughts that control your feelings. You have a choice when a feeling comes over to you to control thought to change your feeling. Don’t let the outside world control you. You control your world. Don’t let a challenge fail you. You can mentally prepare to pass the challenge.
When given information do your best at learning it, compete against yourself. That is what “challenge yourself” means!
