There is something great, motivational, something that can burn.\u00a0 It is a passion, a desire.\u00a0 It is something lacking and everyone wants it.\u00a0 It drives people, it directs them, it is a muse, and a light in the fog of life that steers.\u00a0 It is a flame and few people can light this fire, in some this fire is sparked, but then smothers itself because nothing is there to feed it.\u00a0 Sometime there are limited resources that help fan this flame.\u00a0\u00a0 What I can tell you about this great something is it is there.\u00a0 You have to find it, you have to fan it, and when you see people with it you want to surround yourself with them because what they have will feed yours.\u00a0 For a general understanding of what this something is you can call it intrinsic value.\u00a0 It is what you find important, why you find it important how it consumes you.\u00a0\u00a0 The hard part is there are things that can stand in the way of this intrinsic value.\u00a0 Walls that make themselves present people that nay say and suck the life from you.\u00a0\u00a0
In my own career I see a lack of intrinsic value in education, partially because it is free and partially because no one set them up to see the value of education, and really it\u2019s not education at all, rather the application of education. The utility of education is what gives it value, vocab and textbook are limited because they only hold information.\u00a0 What makes information beautiful is when it becomes a process and hardened idea.\u00a0\u00a0 The problem with this passion and the flame in and how it consumes is once it becomes stagnant once it loses its nature of engulfing and immersing those around it. This passion becomes dogma and devoid of purpose it becomes hardened and loses its almost fluid and expansive catalyst, or viral tendency.\u00a0 People say “I have trouble with motivation.” or, I\u2019ve also heard \u201cWhat is the point,” ,and\/or “why?\u201d\u00a0 In my mind I have had the same questions.\u00a0 I struggle with motivation, but find that it is a matter of who you expose yourself to that will help you or directing your energy to completion.\u00a0 My reply to \u201cWhy?\u201d is \u201cWHY NOT!!!\u201d\u00a0 Because when it comes down to it, intrinsic value, and passion are something you have to find for yourself.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think “give a shit” can be taught it has to be learned.<\/div>\n
