Those who say "motivate yourself if there ain't no one around" are nothing but hypocritical, there is not choice of motivating one's one self, there is no such word such as self-motivation believe me, and so it invariably violates the universal laws of physics as when you're inside the damn box, u cant logically or sentimentally push around to move it, but when Ur outside it, its a different story.
There has been that "thing" which "MOVES" that box when its needed, it has eternally been there. When i played my first PC game in was at age 12 and it was windows 95. But the very triviality of the pattern of technology did not dissapoint me then, instead it filled me with a choice, a choice i knew i would make one day to own what i saw in that world of a pixel man jumping outta obstacles fighting spiders and fire...fire that one should have in them to burn the bloody bars down between you and your world. I knew i cd be no cricketer, high fly soccer player or other sports as fella kids were at , i was no good at those, but i could do some **** with a keyboard, and that moved that box. That moment and afterwards as one pursue of basic life, we knew our goals, we all did, we chose to be engineer, doctor, consultant, egg-heads and losers.. and examinations were part of it, some passed , some never did, but i knew that if i screw up in xams, there wont be any RPG in mah bloody hand to kill the sharks in my FHD LED screen!, and i'll be there in the water for real and then they will come for me. Money is no ****, Money cant buy everything, but hey! still it buys a whole lot of god damn god awful many things that we can not even imagine!! Point is, to have what i or we have now, took more than exams to earn, and to earn you need to have a very strong reason. I had reasons to be a "Gamer" and i passed all the exams.
