I admit to being blindly inspired by Steve Jobs’ speech about following your dreams and to never “settle” until you’re happy. But recently I have found that difficult. As I am fresh out of high school and I’m very familiar with being spoon fed work and told what to do all the time. So when I started uni and no one said I HAD to do anything; I became a potato for 2 weeks. That’s why within the last few days I have been frantically getting work done that I know I could have tried harder on. This has led me to think more about self motivation and self learning. What is it that drives people to work hard at uni? Is it because they love what they do or they are doing what they love? That’s confusing. I was the one who chose to do a media course yet I still find myself slacking off too often.

From the ted talk I got that its more about the attitude you have and your worth ethic. Some people who I really admire, just love to keep busy, whereas I relish in being lazy most of the time. I think that you can end up loving most things that you try if you keep and open mind and stay passionate no matter what you’re doing. Easier said than done though.
