My brother was back from college for a while recently and he saw that I was slacking off on my studies as usual. So, he tried all these different ways to get me motivated to study. There was the classic yelling. There was also encouragement (which is new for him), telling me how hard my parents work, telling me that he has given up on me (then he completely acted as if he never said that and told me to get to work and stuff). After all that, he tried something new: he told me to go watch a certain korean drama. Now, I was a little thrown off by his doing this because Korean dramas are known to be highly addictive, but it looks like he knew what he was doing. The drama was called 고부의신 (God of Study, in english).
This drama INSPIRED me to study. There were SO many parallels my brother pointed out and I drew between the drama and my life. That was a week or so ago. I have completed watching all sixteen episodes today. It's a little to early to say for sure, but I think my diligence is finally coming out in my studies.
Also, this drama talked about why one should study. It explained that one will, without studying, be taken advantage of by the rules of society, which were created by the higher people, the smarter people, and the richer people. To not be a victim in life, one must study to change his situation and circumstances. Now, I don't know this for sure, but I feel that God is calling me to do big things. What those big things are, I don't know, but I feel that He is calling me to climb the social ladder and become someone big, that my studies have purpose and that is my direction in life.
I'm glad my brother is in my life to be able to look after me and to make sure that I am on track with my life. I thank God for him.
