interesting topic.
It seems the strongest motivation is a strong feeling about something.
e.g. a young child loses a parent to an F-5 tornado and seeks solutions on tornado warning in adult life (as in the film "Twister")
It seems if we are deeply emotionally involved in anything, we become passionate about it...
Perhaps if a young person is in a very comfortable situation in life, there seems to be little motivation to study...
But a young person deeply resolved to change his/her current situation would seek every opportunity to learn something new... i.e. toward a changed tomorrow...
What do you think?

Yes, thank you for your quick response.
It is good to think for a good tomorrow and then we study.
But sometimes, I don't know what to do next.Maybe I don't take part in many activities and so I have a lot of free time. But it turns out I cann't make
use of it very efficiently although I have a good plan.
Do you have any suggestions about this?

I guess when I was young I would just look for anything interesting.
Each of us seem to have our own "comfort zones". We are surprised how different people are from each other. One's "difficulty zone" is a comfort zone for another.
Perhaps a suggestion is to keep looking out for opportunity that would involve our passion. When we volunteer to go out of out way to help others, we stumble upon new possibilities that could get us to directions where we best take.
Perhaps another suggestion is to dare to be different. To do so, we must seek our true "perseverance areas" through meditation... then we give it a try, but it is fine to change our minds as we grow....
Care to tell me about your favorite activities? Cheers.
