It is hard when I have to, and so easy when I want to
(Annie Gotlier)
This quote is all about the motivation of a person and attitude towards certain things in life and when he is really keen on in doing something so he does that thing very easily because he tends to do it and he takes interest in doing that thing but on the other hand when he is not interested and he takes his work as a burden so it becomes very difficult for him to accomplish the task and at last his life becomes miserable while doing that task and he gives up that task or does it miserably.
When you are using “have to” somewhere so that means you are doing something forcibly or you are being made to do that thing forcibly and you are not at all willing to do that thing you have no interest in doing so you do not enjoy your work and on the other hand when you use “want to” that shows your desire that you are really willing to do something you are not being made to do that forcibly and you really enjoy working no matter what time it is and what place it is how much work you have to do.
This is the main reason of failure of most of the students in professional life that they are forced to do what they do not want to do for example if a student is very much interested in painting and he wants to take admission in fine arts but his parents force him to choose either engineering or medical so he has to choose either of these two fields and as he is not interested in that thing so these things do not attract him and he never enjoys learning bio or physics or chemistry so it sometimes become very difficult for him to survive and even if that student manages to get the degree from the university he is never ever able to excel in that field because that field is not his field of interest.
When we talk about the big names of the world who were or who are the masters of their fields like Sachin Tendulkar ,Lata Mangeshkar ,Allama Iqbal ,Umar Sharif ,Gul Jee and all others if they had not been in the fields they excelled in ,would they have made their marks ?? of course no. They got the success or I should say success attended them i was just because they recognized their talent and they chose the right field for themselves during an interview Gul jee was asked a question by an interviewer that” you keep on painting throughout the day and you take rest hardly 4 to 5 hours a day so don’t you get tired ?? and don’t you feel like relaxing” so he replied “Painting is my passion. It is no more a work for me I don’t find any other activity as interesting as painting” so this was his level of interest this took him to height of success that his paintings are famous all over the world.
You must have heard the teachers repeatedly saying in the class to build some interest in courses being taught throughout the semester or I should say throughout the degree program it is just because they know and they have learnt from their experience that when you do something with interest you find it easy and interesting and when you take it as burden it becomes cumbersome and you usually get bad grades in those subjects.
So always try to take interest in the things you do in life it will not only make you life easier but also will help you to do that task effectively.
