Wondering how many people there are in the situation of knowing what they should be doing yet not being able to prise themselves off the chair to study? Well - no need post saying you're the same, I figure a lot of us are.

Enter the ultimate motivation thread. Please, post here the most motivating quote you know, a story about your cousin who studied 14 hrs a day and got 99.95, the study habits of your school's dux. Inspiring people who gave it their all and blitzed it. A last ditch attempt at scrounging up any motivation I might have... please!

'Magna cum laude' eh? Your school has to be different and change everything do they? What was wrong with 'summa cum laude'?

The dux of my school doesn't study at all, but is exceptionally smart.

A lengthier explanation of how you studied, what made you reverse that... could help inspire here. Anyway, well done.
