Five years ago, I was a lazy kid who wasted his time playing video games and watching TV.
I dreamed of success, I dreamed of changing myself, I dreamed of making my parents proud!
One day, instead of dreaming, I began to act. I studied. I practiced. I left home at 8 AM and returned at 10 PM. I got obsessed.
Since then, I have
- 6 International Science Olympiad medals.
- 5 National Basketball Championship gold medals, being a starter.
- been admitted to the University of Cambridge
As I think of the moment when I transformed from the lazy guy to the hard-working one, I recall that I never read an advice from a stranger.
I never read a self-development article. I never asked how to change. Do you know why?
Because you, and I, and every single person on earth, knows what to do.
YOU know what you have to do! I KNOW what I have to do!
GET UP! FIGHT! WORK HARD! CHALLENGE YOURSELF!
Get up from your bed! Pick that toothbrush! Brush your teeth!
All you have to do is that little twist when you tell yourself “no, enough is enough! I WILL CHANGE! I WILL NOT STAY IN THIS PIT!”
It’s not easy. I have been there. Changing habits is difficult. Changing a lifestyle is even harder.
But look yourself in the mirror, ask yourself who do YOU want to be?!
Whatever your answer is, fight for it. Push yourself to do the necessary things.
BE THE DIFFERENCE-MAKER IN YOUR LIFE!
Stop saying “I can’t”. Of course, you can’t when you say it like it.
You can! You can! You can!
Unless you are suffering from depression or other psychological disorders, then you bloody can!
Don’t lie to yourself.

If a cab driver makes more money than an IT professional, why should I study?
