<p>I just have talked to someone today cuz I need to set up a plan founding an organization on campus. My initial idea is recruiting some intelligent ppl for the organization. But I was warned that is not feasible cuz most high gpa students are not motivated. The relationship between GPA and motivation is like bell-shaped curve, generally the mid-range population are the most motivated pupulation.
I do admit most of the time I am not that motivated but I do doubt the theory of bell-shaped curve. cuz I'm applying transfer to another school next semester so I really want to do something meaningful before I leave. Perhaps that is the source of my motivation though...</p>
<p>Enough to get by, not enough to get the most out of an education. I still have problems with taking the path of least resistance and procrastinating; trying to know the material just for a test, and not truly understand it for future reference or whatever.</p>
<p>that’s weird. highest gpa people aren’t motivated? they must be or they wouldn’t have a high gpa! maybe it’s just because they don’t have time to do other activities because their schoolwork consumes their lives.</p>
<p>getting on topic…i’m very motivated considerably more than high school</p>
<p>as a cc student for now, i’m not as motivated as I should be. It’s difficult to think about excelling when I can’t WAIT to find out what other schools will accept/reject me. this is at the moment.</p>
<p>there’s 2 types of people with high GPAs: people who are highly-motivated (not necessarily smart or not smart), and people who are just very smart slackers</p>
considerably more than high school</p>
