Self-motivation in new ways




            In reading this article of psychologist doing a study on how people reading Kafka’s works enhanced learning abilities really shocked me. One would think that the people that were given the short story would be more accurate in making more corrections. However they were not the ones, the people that were given the nonsensical how more accurate corrections.  That is pretty hard to do knowing that that reading had a series of disturbing events. In this study it showed how these people were clearly more motivated then the others. Which is true for most people. When a task is put in front of you that you are unfamiliar with or it is difficult most people try to get it done and put more effort into it. People strive to make sense of things when they are uncomfortable or are in awkward positions. This study showed exactly that so personally I think challenging yourself will just make you a better and smarter person. So I encourage people to keep testing themselves with challenges everyday. Are you going to take time out of your day to challenge yourself a little more then the previous day?

What does college mean to me.


College is just not the time you become free and party all the time, but college is a experience where you come into your own. Many think of the college experience of just living on your own and partying 24/7. However what they don’t know that it is so much more you become independent you finally develop into that person you always knew you were. I know personally this has made me more independent not going to lie my parents did almost everything for me I am the only child so obviously they are going to spoil me but to a certain extent. I always had to work for everything I got yes I didn’t have a job but I worked hard in school to make sure my grades stood up to where they where suppose to be.  So with always working hard in school I know that academically I am going to try my best at everything. In the social area I thin I am pretty good I expect to meet a whole lot of new people and I am excited for that. You never know who you can meet in a whole full four years in a university.  You could potentially even meet that one person that takes your heart and you marry them. You never know what is in store for your future. In the case of SCSU I know that the education here is very good. Why do you think I picked to come here? I recall in orientation all they talked about was how it is a huge family here and yes you can see that.  You can see that all over campus even in the classrooms with the professors. All of the professors are here to help you with whatever you need help with. Which is great because when thinking about accomplishing my goals I know I am not going be able to do it all alone. I am going to need help from my professors and coaches to get where I want to go. I expect myself to do the absolute best that I can this semester in all my classes.  So far I see that all my classes are going to challenge my brain to do some work which I am glad because I would be pretty upset if I was sitting in a class bored out of my mind because I already knew the material. Yes college is something that coming into it was a little frightening but I am glad I am somewhere I feel comfortable and know I am going to work hard to get to where I want to be.

Me, Myself, and I

Someone you can say relates to this Vibrant Personality. Charismatic, Exquisite, Outspoken, Funny, Lover. People say being outspoken is a good thing. I mean personally when your words are heard more then just smiling & nodding to things its more understandable. Sometimes your voice has to be heard to let the world know how you feel about things. Actually besides actions taking the biggest role, your words are needed. I think the fact that I am an outspoken person gives me chances that others can't receive. Only because they choose to be forced in the background, hiding behind other heads. Hiding from what the world brings gets you nowhere. So next time you see yourself as the big guy or petite girl sitting away from the crowd avoiding eye contact, go for it speak your mind, let the Words You Speak become an illusion in other peoples heads. Such Only People Have These Traits! Example, my leadership skills overwhelm many. I'm very charismatic. This isn't just something you find in anyone, I often have the ability to inspire; inspire in people zeal and loyalty towards themselves. My charm is magnetic. I mean don't get me wrong I'm not a cocky person but I do believe I have a great way of persuading people. Per-say when I direct myself to ones attention I come at them very sophisticated, I think that having interpersonal skills is a huge plus! Although my confidence is quiet I evoke such strong emotional reactions in people. Being who you are is so important! The Way I dress is important to me. I'm an exquisite person! My style is unique, fashion is important to me. It's how I let people know my sense of taste. Not only being beautiful on the outside but also on the inside. Like they say a horrible personality destroys a gorgeous face. My personality is individual, One of a kind. Humor makes me who I am as well. Kicking back, hanging with friends & making them laugh is a great time for me. I'm a bit of a clown every now & then. If your wondering "Oh, so your the one who disrupts the entire class just to throw in some laughs?, well yes that would be me. However its harmless fun. Example, Hmm if I see someone down or not themselves ill try & be the clown I am & make them laugh just to get a smile out. Being an all around outgoing person doesn’t just make makes who you are, it defines you. My point of view & as others may tell you I'm a lover not a fighter. I have a heavy heart, soft for those who are in pain. When people who are close to me are in need I'm there. My love is strong. I think fighting for what you don't really want, at the end its not worth anything. Therefore being said if your willing to fight, well put a fight up for love. Many people are heartless & don't care to much to express themselves in ways that I do. Although many people might think that hiding your true emotions is better then sharing, its not! It's always better to be heard then unheard. Don't be that low self-esteem person, who chooses not to have friends because sometimes having company is better then being alone. You always need someone to take the weight off. So be open, take chances & let people get to know you for who you really are. In other words, I believe these subjects of words describe my personal being & personality.
