Five Major Challenges to Student Motivation

Five Major Challenges to Student Motivation 
Cultural
Being part of a culture that has no aspirations, no goals, no objectives, no comprehension of achievement. Do as everyone else does especially parents. Leave school with low or no qualifications and get the first job that comes along with the highest pay. This 'sub' culture is self sustaining as it creates generation after generation of failure.
Social, Emotional, Behavioural
Low confidence and/or low self-esteem caused by childhood issues such as bullying, peer pressure, bad parenting, abuse, neglect, lack of love. Manifesting as social phobias, chronic shyness or anger, negative attitudes and even violence. "I hate myself" or "No one will ever hurt me again".
Peer Pressure or Sheep Mentality
Wanting to be or forced into being part of something that is perceived as being significant or of benefit. Or, because there is pressure to conform. These include joining gangs or associating with high profile invididuals who have a reputation.
Apathy or Laziness
There is no positive stimulation. No interest in anything. The world especially education holds no excitement, no benefit. There is no reason to achieve anything or be anybody.
Drugs
The need to take drugs because of peer pressure, enjoyment or to get away from painful issues currently being experienced mentally or psychologically. Drug taking students are in another world when being taught.

Visualization Transformation

"Some Words That Inspire You - Just Visualize"
During those odd days, I cultivated my self-existence in many ways. Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Moment, Right Way, Right Decision by self analysis encouraged me for proving my sincereity for my duty, devotion, discipline with "Never Stop Till Winning Attitude"  

Until you have learned to be tolerant with those who do not always agree with you; until you have cultivated the habit of saying some kind word of those whom you do not admire; until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in others, you will be neither successful nor happy.
When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves: Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own Light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and of a foundation for inner security.
