Motivation..or lack there of

So every since I found out about not getting into the Special Education Department, I've struggled with motivation to do my school work.  I would rather do anything but school work.  Usually i'm not like this.  But i'm in this slump where I fill my mind and time with silly activities instead of being studious.  Anything sounds better then school work right now.  So i'm trying to fill my brain with motivational quotes and power driven statements to help get me out of this slump.  I love Ralph Waldo Emerson.  I've read many of his essays,quotes, and books of his wisdom on life, nature, and love.  What a man of great insight. Unlike most writers I can relate to him, to his words.  So I've filled my brain with his quotes of wisdom to help bring me out of this slump.         WORDS OF WISDOM FROM RALPH WALDO EMERSON:

 "They can conquer who believe they can."

                  

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."

                                                

"When you get into a tight place, and it seems you can't go on, hold on, for that's just the place and time that the tide will turn."

"Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not."

                                        

 "What Is Success"

                                                 

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; 

 This is to have succeeded.

"In life, you can never do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too late."

"Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing on one's own sunshine."
