La Visión Empresarial de una Futura Profesional: Retos y Perspectivas en el Mundo de los Negocios

گر بر فلکم دست بدی چون یزدان، برداشتمی من این جهان را زِ میان
وز نو فلکی دگر چنان ساختمی، کازاده به کام دل رسیدی آسان


Ah, Love! could you and I with him conspire, To grasp his sorry scheme of things entire
Wound not we shatter it to bits - and then, Re-mould it nearer to the heart's desire.

To keep moving forward, it helps to know which type of motivation works best for you.

To Overcome Your Laziness, You Have To Find A Personal Connection With The Language You Are Learning.
If you’re struggling with motivation, tapping into internal interest can help. Studies show that people are more likely to engage in activities they find personally meaningful. Here are some ways to cultivate this type of interest when the thought of language learning makes you lazier by the second.
