So whats bothering me at the moment is the boredom of studying everyday and the pressure of summiting all these test and presentations. But the reason why i still feel the same when i'm not on with anything may be the lack of a direction?
People are usually more willing to do things which are related to their own interest; they usually pay great effort and end up doing a great job. The reasons of positive outcomes may be the extra-attention they give on the task, the ease of concentrating on that one particular task, and the strong desire of getting it done really well. These factors are interrelated, and they stand mainly because the task you are dealing with is of your interest. What i wanna stress here is the effect of "an interesting task" to your degree of concentration on that task. If you are interested in the task you are already a distance ahead of the others who don't. You have the motivation to work on the thing and continue digging on relevant information of it; you won't be giving up as easily as others due to your interest on the task; you are basically living in your own world dreaming how great would the outcome of the task be; most importantly you are able to focus solely on this task without caring too much about the other not-as-important-things happening around you which enhance your effectiveness.
Now, apply this to the case of living. When u are alive, a lot of things are going on in your life - singing, working, playing around, studying...blah blah blah. Among all these, there must be something you may sometimes wondering why you are doing it. You may know it is essential to work and earn money, but you may not have a non-monetary-reason of doing so. If you are only doing it for money or because everyone does it or you are just forced to do it, losing the motivation or incentive to continue with this task might happen quite frequently but you can do nth abt it and just bearing it until the motivation one day raise again by itself. Given that not all of us are able to make all things you do in life relating to own interest, the importance of keeping a habit or developing an interest of yourselves is emphasized.
Interest is a kind of thing that is difficult to be destroyed or destructed as it is not build on physical items but rather virtual or spiritual, plus, frankly speaking no one really bothers to do so to another person (well, given that its illegal ones and not affecting others, and the person is a normal one). Theoretically when you have such an interest, you are sort of having one more pillar supporting (nurturing?) your life. For example, when you came across a bad situation in your job or study which upsets you and creates lots of troubles for you, your level of stress would be somewhat lower if you have an interest than if you don't. The reason is that, working or studying in the above case is reasonably a pillar of your current life, and if you are not satisfied with this pillar (you can think of this as the pillar is damaged) you still have another pillar supporting your life, which is your interest.
So after so much discussion, here we can concluded that, upon the basis that there are essential physical pillars (like money) supporting one's life, the more additional pillars that are built on virtual/spiritual components the higher your resistance to fluctuations in life and the less time/attention you pay on those not-really-that-important things.
