Well, people play games for different reasons. Some to kill boredom, some to kill time, some search for the sense of excitement, some search for the thrill of wining. Personally, i don't play games, neither computer games nor video games nor handphone games. No games in my life.
However, right now i think that game is actually a reflection of life. People get motivated to play when there is something ahead to be achieved, to get to another level perhaps, or to the end of that story...
It's the same in life. We will be motivated to do something when we have something to achieve. When there is no clear goals, we get out of focus immediately, it's the same with games. When the games is not interesting enough, or there is no attractive rewards in the games, people will not continue to play.
In life, or more specifically in studies, i do my assignments only because i need them to help me to finish my degree. As simple as that. I must admit that i'm really a lazy bum. I won't study for no reasons, or maybe sometimes i'll, to kill time kill boredom or just get something to do.
Motivations happen throughout different stages in life as time goes by we'll have different things to achieve and different goals in life. It all depends on how the goals are set and achieved.
Perhaps this is something that i should really focus on when i did my final assignment last week. Oh well, too late for it.
That's fine. End of semester, i hope everyone has a great holidays ahead!

Hi Jacinta,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you liked the story, I'm still not really sure what I think of it myself. I guess human technological advances are a tribute to our own innovations. Things such as tying instead of traditional writing tools are meant to make life easier however this new practice is an indication of just how busy (multitasking) we are these days.
I’ve read parts of your blog and find the honestly that you write with, inviting and agreeable. I’m particularly fond of the week 11 and 12 writing exercises. It’s really impressive that you are able to identify and understand the experience gained from any given situation (maybe you should become a motivational speaker).
Hope you’ve enjoyed studying abroad and all the best in the future.
Take care, especially when you’re high up (just kidding).
