The Second Summary (Self Motivation)

Self-motivation can be hard for some people. There is no certain way to motivate yourself, but by training yourself to convert the negative situation to the positive, it may help you.

 There are three main causes why we lose motivation. First, lack of confidence. For example, when person thinking about what his dreams or what he wants comparing that with what having now can make bad impression and feeling jealous from the rivals. Concentrate on what I get of good points and strengths can help to reach my goal, and thinking about weakness can cause failure. Second, lack of focus that means when a person concentrating on his concerns like poverty or defeat instead of concentrating on what he wants to achieve which leads to restrict the motivations. With goal setting a lot of factors will birth to reach this target. Finally, lack of directions can cause less of motivation so we have to set a line of actions about what we have to do to reach our dream. Lack of plans can kill our motivation and also can be a reason of waste the time. A good plan for a short-term goal and achieve it can stimulate the motivation to work for the long-term goal. In conclusion, may be you will face many of difficulties or bad luck or fail in some steps when you want to reach your goal, but you have to be an optimistic person and have the insistence and determination to achieve this goal.

The E-Factor

There are three reasons why some people are more enthusiastic than other people. First, learned behavior during childhood is really an important reason to be enthusiastic person, which the child can get this habit from family. Also, teachers in the school can encourage her students by enhancing their progress and using good words to motivate them like: excellent or clever. Good friends could help to think positively and be happy all the time. Second, genetics may play a big role in enthusiasm. Many researches proved the genetics role for example, Auke Tellegen, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of Minnesota in Minneapoli says, “Some people seem to be born with a lot of juice”. Other wise, person with heightened levels of a brain chemical dopamine as research suggests that person will be positive emotionality. In addition, enthusiasm may also be an inherited trait as some studies suggest. Finally, being contented and accepting life can cause the enthusiasm, especially this point that makes me an enthusiastic person. Having faith in god and believing that he has the power to help me and trust that he knows what is best for me, that makes me feel satisfied. Also, what helps me being contented is when I compare my life with those who are less fortunate. I focus on the positive side by having a confident attitude that can help me to focus on my strengths and possibly walking away from a bad situation. In conclusion, enthusiastic attitude can make everyone more happy and successful in life.

My Second Language

         English language is an international language; many countries use it to communicate with foreign language speakers. English is my second language which I have some difficulties with learning it. The first reason of having these difficulties is I have grown up in non-English speaking environment (Kuwait) where we speaking Arabic language and I started learning this language in age six. That environment made it hard to have an English conversation with anyone even if I had that conversation it will not be as professional as when I talking with a native English speaker. Also, I didn’t speak English language most of the time because everyone is talking in my language. Not enough confidence for speaking English because I’m afraid to feel embarrassed if I made mistakes which set me back from being a better speaker. The second reason is poor reading skills because I don’t read English books a lot although it can develop my grammar and help me to in rich my vocabulary. In addition, I can translate the new words that I have redden to my own language which don’t help me of having a rich vocabulary knowledge, so the best way to translate it by using (English/English) dictionaries. Furthermore, in my country all the signs and advertisements are in Arabic, which I don’t have a chance to read more in English all the day. The last reason is not listening to English language as much as I have to. For example, all the TV shows and American movies are translated to my language. Besides that, I don’t listen to English songs often although it helps me to learn the pronunciation of some word. Sense all my friends and people around me are at the same English level as I am so it doesn’t help me to challenge myself for improving my English. In conclusion, I need to work on all those difficulties to upgrade my English skills, vocabulary, speaking mechanism and develop good basic principles of the English language to achieve my dream which is speaking and writing English in a perfect way like a native English person.
