“When I get an A it’ll make them happy, then I’ll be happy.” “If I please all my teachers, then I’ll be happy.” “If I please my parents, then I’ll be happy.” Ultimately, I was always thinking, “If I make ‘them’ happy, then I’ll be happy.” A nice sentiment I’m sure you’ll agree.

Can’t we just keep up a routine without being enthused?” Actually, you can! But the problem is that you just cannot excel at anything if you are not motivated enough....
