[Discussion] My logic based motivation

1. Life is short
2. You risk nothing because you will die anyway
3. You don't remember 90% of your life anyway (yep, do you remember what you were doing 14.04.2008? probably not. If it was significant date for you then pick any other non-significant date)
4. Because "you" is only what you remember, one should do a lot of things that he will remember
5. Because your current state is directly linked with your past actions you know that you should work hard
6. Because you don't remember 90% of your life it doesn't matter if work or learning is hard. Bad day? if it's not important you will forget it anyway.
7. But the knowledge gained during that hard time will be beneficial, even if you don't remember the whole day of studying, knowledge is in your brain.

My thinking in short:

If working hard is your normal state, then you don't remember your effort anyway. I'm using this way of thinking when it's hard. Working 12h per day is not a problem if you will accept this that you don't remember your average day. But I will remember payoff of this work so it's ok to work hard.
