Fight Boredom
 If
something is boring for two minutes, do it for four
minutes. If it’s still boring, do it for eight minutes,
then sixteen, and so on. Eventually you discover that
it’s not boring at all. That's the right way to overcome
boredom and prevent drop out.
If you want to succeed in whatever you set out to
achieve- the first step is to fall in love with your
goals and dreams. For if you love your goals, nothing,
mind you nothing in this whole world can stop you from
reaching your goal.
Remember, boredom is the black hole for excitement and
takes away that feeling of “being alive”.
