Grow and Think Rich, Napoleon Hill (1937).Perhaps in the next moment, I can dive deeper and provide my reflection on each of the sources. I have a list of sources related to this topic. About the different identities we possess and the internal struggles we have to overcome. There is a lot written about self-management. To follow the path efficiently we have to be able to control and guide ourselves in the right direction. That’s the reason why we wait till the last moment before a deadline, why we didn’t read the recommended literature, or why we decided not to follow up on our ambitions. It’s our nature that is likely to refuse the clear path of logic and seek loopholes and distractions. It’s not the logical reasoning that students (or anyone) find difficult. It’s relatively easy to teach someone to think, plan, and execute. Preparation is important, but it can easily become a distraction too. We don’t become something by reading, planning, preparing, and organizing. Sometimes we perceive studying as a ritual to become something new. There is a title of a book that I often think about: ‘You Are What You Do’. Studying on itself probably would not be half as difficult if it was not for ourselves. Words I often hear from students during reflection-moment are distractions, procrastination, anxieties, and imposter syndrome.
