Motivation.

Lately I discovered that I’m finding motivation to work hard to come by. It’s not like I don’t feel like working, but I just don’t seem to be able to really do my work with pride. It feels almost like I’m just going through the motion, which is so not me. And when I think I have a work attitude problem, I think the problem is quite serious. Simply because usually I think my work attitude is not too bad. Maybe what I will try to do is to derive some joy from whatever I’m doing, at least until my time here is up.

Had a chat with Dr. Ma yesterday evening and he suggested that I focus on my current Masters course if I really want to do a PhD. He said I should upkeep my current results and hope to graduate with a distinction, which will be useful in my application to do a research degree. Hopefully things will turn out to be right come June when I get back my results.

Have been really busy for the last 2 to 3 days and it will be at least another 3 months that I’ll go through such a life. Let’s hope I enjoy it.
