    As the title says! Just took BEC today. Taking a break for two days and wanted to see what words motivates you to keep the grind on and the lazy off.

    Mine are:

    1. At the beginning when I’m studying and struggling to understand some concepts:

    “To struggle some, is to progress some”

    2. When Im feeling like just sitting around after work or during the weekend going on reddit or something:

    “Your Dad said he would be surprised if I became more successful than him. The CPA is a one of the steps to prove him wrong”

    “No one ever got successful by just sitting around”

    3. When I’m studying and moral is starting to winder cause of fatigue or boredom:

    “Passing these exams will get you 5k, 5k = your new playstation 4, custom built computer and tennis gear”

    Judge: I would like to know what was it on earth that made you to exact this kind of violence by using a mannequin arm to beat the living HELL out of your coworkers?

    You can't do it. It's too late in the game. You aren't smart enough.

    Lot's of prayer, introspection, taking brief walks and sitting at the park bench while trembling…sort of thing…

    and the this song once in a while with a bunch of others..

    I notice that only the weak sizzles are into M.O.B.

    Nick Vujicic is a motivational/inspirational speaker.

    He was born with no arms and legs.

    He has a great sense of humor.

    This is 2 of 11 videos. Watch from 5:00 mark.

    He is talking about how he gets up when he is down, when it seems there is no hope—pick yourself up again and again.

    Also check out the part 1/11 if you have time(=study break). He is really funny.

    There are 11 part in total, but the first 4 are held at a high school that completes one episode.

    He also spoke at TED.

    I don't always have a lot of confidence, sometimes I act like I do.

    When I am really down, I watch his speech. Makes me laugh and cry at the same time.

    “how do you eat an elephant?

    one bite at a time.”

    oftentimes when i'm studying the material, i start to feel overwhelmed… i think about this quote and take a deep breath before i dive back into the material. one chapter at a time.. one topic at a time.. one page at a time..

    one bite at a time.

    This is what motivates me – my coworker who makes $10k more than I do failed her first section of the exam twice and then gave up. It sounds horrible, but when I don't feel like studying, I think about the fact that I will be so much more qualified than she is (I also have a master degree and she does not) and will be able to move on to a better job.
