I don't want to work part time in the evening around 18.00 until 20.300 in the winter. But i have to, because i need extra money for my vacation next year to my own country. Then i motivate myself just think about my next vacation, just think about the money i get from part time can do much in my vacation ^_^ Do you have something you don't like to do but you HAVE to do it? How u motivate yourself then?

Dear Friend its hard to work outside of country. when u r away from country u really need to work days and night to meet ur expense, to send money back to country and to have savings so when u go back u can do some work/investment with it. wish u best of luck i do work in textiles industry, its hectic and need lot of time and minimize ur soxcial life, but it pays good so its motivation, other thing is that ur customer is satisfied and its great motivation for u as well take care and wish u best of luck with ur 2 jobs and foe ur upcoming vacations byee

I know what you mean, Juliana...but you're right, think of THE JOY you're gonna get during your vacation next year he he he... Right now I'm really PSYCHED for my upcoming full-time Finnish course (starting from January to May) but the thing I don't like is that it's going to be SO COLD in Jan-Feb and I have to go out every single day from Mon to Friday. But I don't wanna complain 'coz this way I'm going to learn Finnish MUCH quicker than I learn it now he he he he... So if I have to do something I don't like, I'll just think of the good things that will happen after I do those things. Or I'll think of positive things, for example: at least I can earn something or at least I can learn something or I'll ENJOY the result later on even though it's a hard process. ;-D

Like many people, I just think about what I'm doing it for and what I have my sights set on and try to look at it as a means to an end to get where I want to go. In such cases, you have to look at how you will benefit in the future rather than the hard-to-bear moments it brings you at present. When you finally have the money and get are on your way to your vacation destination, I'm sure you'll feel it was all worth it if that is something you really want to do in your life.

You really have busy work. I have many things that I don't like to do. Such as I don't like go to work because it is not very interesting. And therefore my time with my son becomes less. But I have to because I want to have more money in the future for his education etc.

Thanks also what i always thinking about. My son education....that's why when he can go to school. I already plan to go to work also when he is at school. Just doing part time job enough. I don't look for great career, only for support our live is enough :)

It's very common to do the things you don't like.It's the part of our life.I'm a sophomore in a university.I'm majoy in English and German.But I don't think it's my best choice.But I have to study hard to get the shoolarship.hehe,a lot of money.Well,when I have something I don't like to do but I have to do,I will make myself to think the good points of the things I must do.Then you will feel it's not difficult as before.

Whatever we do we should have total devotion and enthusiasm. The work you do will give a greater pleasure than just doing it because one has to do it. I do not want to do such a thing. I rather postpone going on vocation than forcing my mind to work without much interest. Interest and enthusiasm alone drive me towards work.

Think about the positive side of your goal. It's difficult now because you are doing something you don't care to do but in the longrun, it will be well worth it. I am to the age now that various things I do are things I want to do. I am not thrilled to continuously do laundry but that's part of life! Seems like a waste of time but I must get it done. Hope you have a wonderful trip once you reach your country. Then you can look back and think how much it was worth the effort to get to your destination by working the extra hours.

Hello,friend, This is also the case with me,we often don't want to do something but we have to do it for some reasons,without doning it we can't gain what we really want,that is what we have to struggle ourselves to the things we don't want to do. Haven't u notice that even though the process is hard but the result is worth us to sacrifice our time and energy. I will give u an example ,everyday ,especially in winter raise at so early time is really a hard task,the warm quilt attracted me so baddly,but,whenever at this moment I will say to myself"don't u want to realize your dream?u give up so easily to ur luzyness?'just my dream that ispires me to get up at an early time to revise my studies. My dream worth me to do so , so what I should do is that "Thanks to my dream,thanks to my sacrifice" Molly..;=)

Honestly, when I am in a situation like this, I get to weigh things. If i can bear holding on and do what i do not seem to have passion with, i just think of the positive outcomes it could give me. But if the positive outcome could not be found, i leave right away. I am the type who believes that i should have passion on the things I am doing. :P

When I have a situation like this I usually use small motivators such as, "as soon as I reach XYZ$ in my extra money then I can quit". Or I put a small picture of the goal on my computer or desk area to remind me of the goal. It doesn't stop the frustration but It does help me to stay focused on the end result and thus not feel like I am working for naught.

Well,such things happen once in a while in our life.Life will not always make us satisfied. There're things that we don't wanna do but we have to do.However,we also get sth.Just like what you said,you can get extra money. So I think when we're involved in such things,we should try to balance our feelings. When you obtain sth,you will also lose some other things. That's the case. So don't think too much about it,think of sth nice:)

I don't like to make such a hectic journey to and fro office everyday. I sometimes think i can have stayed nearby the office. But there are still some advantages of staying at home. Moreover my parents are much confident if i stay with them.

there are times when I really wanna absent from work and just stay in bed for the whole day and watch tv. ^__^;; my motivation would be the free and fast internet which the employee can use for official matter but often used for personal matters without my boss knowing it (of course!). LOL that's my only motivation. although when I'm finally at work, I would forget that I ever got lazy during the morning and forget that I ever wanted to absent. of course because of myLot and because of the work and my boss. ^__^;;

Oh dear, I hope you can collect much money you needed to your vacation. Just always think that you are doing all of that for your dream vacation. It will definitely motivate you. I don't want to wake up so early in the morning but I have to get up as quickly as I can or I'll be late. LOL. I'm sure nobody wants to be late for work. Happy posting!
