Meaningful Encouragement

I felt that whatever Mr Lee (my maths teacher) said today was extremely meaningful. At least that was what I think it is. He said that when we feel like we have no energy to study or do stuff which we think we should do (e.g. homework), we sld have the self-discipline to push ourselves to do it even though our mind may not follow our will. This is what he calls "training the mind".

Also, he adds on to say that sometimes when our mind tells us that we are not in the mood to study, we will tend to slack, and thereafter start to do other meaningless stuff. He says that that shows that we are actually not very tired to the extent that we can't do anything, as we are doing meaningless stuff when we could actually devote our precious time to study for the upcoming examinations. He said that graduating classes should have that spirit!

Seriously, that was exactly what I felt this few days. Sometimes after I have come home from CCA sessions or other school events, I will just sit on the sofa and stare into space. I will just tell myself that I will complete my homework tomorrow, and the tomorrow will never come.

Somehow it seems like Mr Lee's "psychological" talk came just at the right time, at least for myself, and I hope many others also. His talk certainly helped to pull me back onto the track again. From now on, I shall follow the track, and strive towards my goal at the end of the track!!
'O' LEVELS, HERE I COME!!!

Thanks Mr Lee;D
