Course Notes is a great motivator when it comes to school. It allows for students to enhance their studying and preparations. In this way, students feel motivated to keep on trying and succeed. Furthermore, there are many ways to keep motivated during hard days. Some ways to stay motivated include (not in any particular order) :
1. Make a plan that you are excited for - This can include anything from making plans to have lunch with a friend or watching your favorite t.v. show at a certain time every week. Personally making plans is something that keeps me motivated because anytime that I feel stressed, I think of my future plan and suddenly I have a lot more energy and motivation.
2. Work in a fashion that suits you best - Finding out whether you work best doing all of your work at once or taking breaks in between is very valuable. This is because you will feel less stressed working in the fashion that suits you. Moreover, finding study habits that increase your understanding will reduce the stress. If you feel less stressed and in more control, motivation will come!
3. Working with a friend - Everything is more fun with a friend! Having study sessions with a friend at the library is a great way to keep motivated.
4. Similar to the last one, call on friends to motivate you - Friends can be great motivators. They can help you view something in a different way that can increase your motivation.
5. Find something you enjoy to do in your free time - If you have something you would like to do in your free time, you will work faster and with more motivation to complete the task.
Here are some motivational quotes that may help you get through a tough day:
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their mind to be.
- Abraham Lincoln
The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.
- Mark Twain
It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.

- Sir John Lubbock
Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.

Nothing average ever stood as a monument to progress. When progress is looking for a partner it doesn't turn to those who believe they are only average. It turns instead to those who are forever searching and striving to become the best they possibly can. If we seek the average level we cannot hope to achieve a high level of success. Our only hope is to avoid being a failure.
- A. Lou Vickery
Persistence is the twin sister of excellence. One is a matter of quality; the other, a matter of time.
- Marabel Morgan
William L. Stidger, in the magazine, Your Life, tells a story about the conductor, Walter D. Famrosch, who once stopped his orchestra when everything was apparently going along smoothly, and asked: “Where is the seventh flute? Where is the seventh flute?” As Mr. Stidger points out, the conductor didn’t ask for the first flute, or the second—but the seventh. Even the seventh flute had an important place in creating the harmony the leader desired. “We may feel inferior, untalented, not even beautiful, and some of us uneducated,” Mr. Stidger comments, “but each of us has a part to play and should play it well.”
- James Keller
