  How do you get yourself motivated in your work? I'm a student taking O level this year, and I can't get myself working hard ):

  I agree with the "Using your imagination" method...so close your eyes and start.

  Look at the 3 friends that are closest to you....that you sincerely care about right now.

  Now imagine all of them....doing well for themselves.....studying hard....smiling over their results being good.....moving forward in life....JC/POLY/UNI.....making new friends there....sharing new fun experiences.....moving forward again.....NS(for guys)....searching the job markets....finding a good job for themselves.....feeling the rush of getting a good paycheck....being able to provide for their loved ones....starting a family with someone they love....being in a position to actually be able to provide a comfortable living for their family....

  Now imagine a get together with these 3 friends years down the road...when you all are 35-45 years old at a kopitiam...or fast food joint....wherever you prefer...everyone is busy catching up with each other....sharing their life stories....being excited and happy for each other that everyone is doing well with their lives.

  Now imagine you....not having any of this....

  And imagine them asking you "Hey....why so quiet....tell us about your success in life also? " ....

  And all you can bring yourself to say is "Ummm.....paiseh....My boss ask me to take your orders...."

  Nah. Motivation.

  It's a good resource that I always share with my students.

  It won't viewed in IE9, so try using IE8,7 or older version. FF is okay.

  Students dun work, they study only, study hard is one thing, more important is study smart,

  if you study hard and smart u get A+++

  if you study hard but not smart u get B

  If you study smart but no hard, u still get a B

  if you dun study and also not smart u get E...E for excellent
