Response to "No Blue Pill, No Red Pill" by Ana Christina Pratas

 

             The constant modern development makes education a necessity for survival. Nowadays, strong education leads to a significantly better future. However, even after realizing this, many students suffer to motivate themselves to learn. Hence, teachers step in to do their duty of inspiring the students for motivation towards learning.

             "Learning may be social, but in the end its individual." I am in total agreement with this quote. Social interaction is a crucial part of learning, however, without the learner's will for education, learning no longer exist. As mentioned in the article "It is the inspiration and not the motivation that an educator may trigger among learners" thing means, only oneself has the ability to trigger the motivation within himself/herself. In other words, it is not the teacher's duty to get their students to 'want' to learn. It is the students' duty to motivate themselves.

             “If you can see it, you can achieve it." Motivation is the key to a successful education and the most powerful tool for motivation is vitalization of your goal. This goes beyond having an idea of what you want to accomplish, however, constantly imaging yourself at your goal.

            There is no recipe, no secrets, no short cuts. Learning takes time and effort, however, without the motivation, all time and effort will be wasted in no time. As mentioned in the article, in reality, "Learning is hard work. There are no red pills. There are no blue pills." However, also in reality, as soon as you grasp the motivation to learn, the 'hard work' can pass by like nothing. Because "If you can see it, you can achieve it".
