Don't read... you don't get good grades... don't get good grades you don't get a good job... Don't get a good job you spend the rest of your life working hard to just have enough to eat... and none to buy nice things.


That alone should be enough motivation. There are a lot of motivated people you are competing with... you have to be better than they are if you want the best in life.
