Make it FUN

You will never be motivated to do something that makes you feel sad, scared, depressed or bored.  So find a way to make the project exciting.  If you cannot, consider a way to achieve the top-line objective in a different manner, one that does not entail such drudgery!

No matter how motivated you are, things do not always happen immediately or when you want them.  Therefore it is absolutely imperative to develop great patience, and allow your goals to manifest naturally.

Every day, commit to doing at least two things proactively

It is critical to be “moving forward” every day.  No matter what happens, make sure you are doing at least two daily actions that put you closer to your ultimate goals.  Most of us spend 99.9% of our time in reactionary mode, and this is ultra-un-motivating.

GDGWI Hauls up the Motivational Level in Students

You want to motivate yourself in doing some more fruitful work? In concentrating more on the exams that are coming up? At school, home and everywhere in between, people use motivation to get results. Motivation requires a delicate balance of communication, structure, and incentives. G.D.Goenka World Institute follows certain tactics to motivate your educational life. We are presenting you with 10tips that will help you to maximize yourself for your future.

Motivation

1. Consequences – We never use threats. We make sure we make our students aware of the negative consequences of not getting results can have a big impact. This one is also big for self motivation. If you don’t get your act together, will you ever get what you want?

2. Pleasure – This is the old carrot on a stick technique. We provide pleasurable rewards to our students which creates eager and productive students.

3. Detailed instructions – If you want a specific result, give specific instructions. Students study better when they know exactly what’s expected.

4. Short and long term goals – Use both short and long term goals to guide the action process and create an overall philosophy.

5. Make it stimulating – Mix it up. We don’t ask our students to do the same boring tasks all the time. A stimulating environment creates enthusiasm and the opportunity for “big picture” thinking.

6. Deadlines – Many students are most productive right before a big deadline. They also have a hard time focusing until that deadline is looming overhead. We use this to their advantage by setting up a series of mini-deadlines building up to an end result.

7. Team Spirit – We create an environment of camaraderie. Our students work and study more effectively when they feel like part of team — they don’t want to let others down.

8. Recognize achievement – We make a point to recognize achievements one-on-one and also in group settings. People like to see that their work isn’t being ignored.

9. Create challenges – Students are happy when they’re progressing towards a goal. Give them the opportunity to face new and difficult problems and they’ll be more enthusiastic.

10. Let people be creative – Don’t expect everyone to do things in a conventional way. Allowing people to be creative creates a more optimistic environment and can lead to awesome new ideas.

We use these key points and increase the motivation level of our student.

Failure : A Detour to Success

“Failure is, in a sense the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly what is true.”
-John Keats

Success is a habit so also is failure. We feel terrible at the sound of the word ‘failure.’ Failure is an experience; for us to make good use of the experience we need to learn from the experience. If we are courageous and confident in our success journey we need to welcome failure and learn the lesson from it. Successful people fail forward. What does it mean? They work on the premise that there is no failure but feedback. They take failure as a feedback to a process that has been flawed. In other to make progress they analyze the situation and use the feedback as basis for further experience.

Below is a summary of different themes that can be applied in any experience of failure so that the student can benefit from the experience.

• See failure as an experience
• Analyze the experience
• Find the lesson they taught
• It’s possible that the time invested to study failure could lead to success. This possible by applying the feedback as information for further practice
• Mastering the art of dealing with failure could become the basis of converting defeat as a stepping stone for opportunity

If you accept your failures then only you can become successful in life. Leap ahead to achieve your goals despite the fact that you have failed, just remember you have the experience and can do much better.
