Hey bros. I'm finishing up college next year and need some much needed motivation to push through. I'm planning on getting my Phd then going into either finance or technology and my undergraduate degree is in Economics with minors in math and english lit. Could you post the resumes of some famous tech personalities or really anyone who's managed to succeed or make it for themselves? I'm gather one for David Pogue as we speak.

 

or just tell me what motivates you. blah.

I like to encourage people by the opposite. Instead of pushing them toward a goal, because honestly it may not be what God wants for them. I push them away from failure. For example, I remind them that where they are now, and where they want to go is better than where they could be. I even will show them pictures from my mission trips to Haiti and show them how they could be living. Or remind them of the homeless people here in the states. So sometimes what it takes is thinking about where you could be negatively vs where you could be positively, because the negative will always make you feel positive. And then if you truly want more, the motivation will come from that. If not, then you know you are content and comfortable with what you have/where you are. P.S. Hopefully I didn't get too deep for you lol
