As illustrated in The Merchant of Venice, Antonio owes money to Shylock who is a spiteful moneylender and Shylock demands a pound of Antonio’s flesh as the contract due to failure to repay. However, Portia saves Antonio’s life at the very end of the story in the court with her knowledge pointing out the logic “you can have a pound of flesh but no one drop of blood” and she was able to defeat the cunning moneylender. The story describes a problem that people face which seems impossible but ends with an amazing unpredictable but positive and favorable end against the villain. If you have read, heard the story, or even watched the drama or movie no matter your age you might have been numb or felt helpless before the end without a clue at all.  Let’s forget the old fabricated story if you are a millennial and have a look at Khaby Lame who has no celebrity appearance and went through many obstacles in his past but has a million followers on Instagram and is so famous now. Or else, someone like Nick Vujicic who lost his all limbs but is famous all over the world as a motivational speaker and a true example for the words of his speeches. Humans never thought that they could touch down on extraterrestrial terrains but they did after massive efforts of continued trying. Therefore, every human can do whatever they want as long as they have motivation towards their own set goals. What is motivation? Motivation is the drive to achieve your needs. The emotion for a need can be influenced in 04 ways such as (01) the amount that you want, (02) what will you gain, (03) personal expectations, and most importantly (04) what you will lose from not achieving your need. Everybody wants big achievements but the problem is how to keep the motivation until the end. Simply, it is like driving or going by vehicle to somewhere you decided earlier, and as long as you drive or travel you can reach the destination as planned. In case of any loss like an accident, tire puncture, loss of fuel, or any breakdown you will feel it difficult but still, your motivation to reach the destination by any other mode may be walking. For example, you are studying for an exam like <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/blog/how-can-you-prepare-for-ielts-at-home/">IELTS</a>, <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/blog/apeuni-is-the-best-pte-institute-software-the-only-one-you-need/">PTE</a>, <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/courses">OL</a>, or <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/course/current-2023-al">AL</a> and you have no time to participate or you used to learn through physical classes. However, if you make yourself motivated, you can still use <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/institutes">online educational materials</a> which are available on <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/institutes">www.esiphala.lk</a> if you intend to learn from a professional body. Why motivation is important in our life Our life is full of unpredictable unplanned journey and the next second we may face something really jarring or extreme fortune. Whatever it may be we must be able to face the situation and tolerate and absorb as much as we can. For example, a bereavement of a loved one in an unexpected moment, while you are getting prepared for an exam, can be an extreme situation. To a certain extent, motivation is personal therefore what gets you going maybe not do anything for someone else. For example, we saw a rugby player in a school league participating in a match while his mothers’ death and winning the game for his school. So, self-motivation is a key attribute that makes you a winner in a professional subject or area in your life because it pushes you forward no matter how hard the situation is. If you have talked to any professionals in any subject their stories are quite similar, they say “I determined that I’m going to do this” at a certain point in life. How to stay motivated The first rule is “Do not get frustrated over any and shit can happen to anybody, so calm down”. Most people struggle with their feelings in their life and that is completely natural because we are humans and we have feelings. However, we should not let emotions overcome our motivation therefore use our brains to stay logical. Here are a few tips to stay motivated. Tip one – Don’t stick to one goal have a second plan It is really common that people dream to achieve something big but get frustrated in unsuccessful attempts. May it be an exam to get selected for university, get promoted in your career, or go abroad for permanent residence where there is a probability of losing your hope. If you have focused only on getting permanent residency and if you get rejected, you may have nothing left to try again. But if you ever had a second plan you can further try to get permanent residency in a good country by going as a student and thereby you can have your goal after some years. Tip two – Embrace the goal in your life Do not ever turn or look back if you have a goal until you reach it. Think about how you can include that goal in your life. Break your goal into small pieces like easy tasks, and regular checkups to complete each step. Have some reminders where visible to your eyes to stay on track and these reminders will help you to stick to the plan. Speak to yourself and question yourself in peace about how you can finish with your strengths. Positive self-talk is important and effective in managing motivation because mindfulness helps keep you relaxed and focused. instead of saying ‘I couldn’t’, say ‘I did it so far to this level. Always remember that you have a second plan as well so focus on both. Tip three – Get help from your loved ones No matter how hard we try and sometimes we need human affection because humans are social beings. You might have seen soldiers are appreciated on battlefields even if they lose in the frontline in the next second. Therefore, inform your family and friends about your plan and get their kind and positive help towards you. They will help you stay motivated because sometimes we need the willpower to win hard goals. Tip Four – Stay on track Regular reviews about your goal and its progress will surely help to improve your self-esteem. It is really good if you can use a diary or a chart to measure your history of records. This will help you not to repeat any failure and continue and multiply any successful attempts. Tip Five – Associate with good ones Have some really good friends and positive people that bring peace and positive vibes to your mind. They will enhance your positive self-talk and helps to manage the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Tip Six – Have some simple goals too Let’s say if you were not able to achieve as you planned. If you ever had minded about simple a goal like health you might have done some <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/course/workout-with-hiruni---zumbaaerobics">exercise</a> which definitely assists you to stay healthy in physically and mentally. Or else, if you ever had a travel diary you may have loads of memories than someone who you ever wished to be. Maybe one day you can travel around the whole world while earning money from <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/blog">blogging</a> and a reputation for being traveled and seeing <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/blog/category/archaeology/">archaeology</a>. Summary Adopting the above six tips into your life will be the key to staying motivated. However, being motivated is not as easy as we spoke about above. There are enough examples from human history and even some are available in recent days that can be taken of how people have been motivated even when it has been so difficult to cope with. People get motivated to achieve something that they think, is the best according to their perception. However, this emotion towards motivation is influenced by some factors but we can control the influences by adopting six tips. Motivation is the key to anyone who wished to be successful in their life. <h1>FIVE WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS IN YOUR LIFE</h1> What is stress?

Simply when stressed it will lead to headaches, acne on the face, and upset stomachaches for a few examples.  However, some experts in the health industry say that a little stress is quite fine for life because it helps humans to perform well in their daily activities. For example, <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/blog/how-can-you-prepare-for-ielts-at-home/">the IELTS exam</a> or the <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/blog/apeuni-is-the-best-pte-institute-software-the-only-one-you-need/">PTE exam</a> accelerates a student to work within a limited time as a language testing exam to get qualified for going abroad while working at a university. Further to that, it is very natural that we feel stress when facing challenging situations like job interviews, <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/courses">school exams</a>, unrealistic workloads, and conflicts in human affairs. Health experts emphasize that these tense stress situations help to improve coping with emotional feelings.   The two forms of stress The way we react to stress forms mainly in two ways such as physical and mental. These two forms can be further explained as, physical symptoms leading to pains and aches within the body, and mental symptoms causing emotional damage like anxiety, depression, anger, panic situation, and being a recluse. However, someone’s meal situation can be lethal to some extent like mental trauma which likely ends with committing suicide. Therefore, managing stress in your life is really important.

Therefore, doing some exercise that moves our body is one of the most effective ways to manage stress. we don’t need to be professional athletes but all we need is to adopt something that makes sweat our body. A simple activity like walking or jogging, <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/course/workout-with-hiruni---zumbaaerobics">doing some yoga</a>, dancing to music, or going to the gym can really help to reduce stress and also stay fit and make the mind relax. 2.Digital detox The use of social media and a torrent of updates have glued people to their mobile screens making them zombies. This bad practice is called nomophobia which they cannot live without gossip updates and lead to the stress of social media. For example, some people get stressed by comparing their lives to superficial social media stories to their living stature. For another example, some people get frustrated over political-related digital media news cycles and thereby get stressed.

Therefore, leaving your smartphone aside or managing it well is a must and simple method. 3.Adopt a hobby Embracing a new hobby like painting, reading, <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/blog">blogging</a>, traveling, <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/blog/category/movies/">going for movie</a>, or listening to music can help reduce stress and increase mental relaxation and thereby achieving mental peace. Hobbies can offer a sense of achievement and help you take your mind off worrisome. This happens when we fully concentrate on one specific thing which is beyond our control. For example, you can start collecting stamps and be a philatelic who collects only one theme of stamps like butterflies, and having a complete set of butterflies may bring you a state of achievement. Other than just a hobby if you can start learning something new online might benefit from the best of both worlds, achieving academic qualification online while staying at home. However, when we are doing whatever the hobby it brings us pleasure.   4.Break the routine with something new Have a plan on your monthly calendar to do something really new.

No matter how strict your work plan is make sure you however make it happen. This little break will surely improve your mental health level and let you open for different pleasurable topics the next day when you are at work over the stressors. 5.Associate with friends Humans are social beings but due to some social factors, they are born built to be as social groups. However, due to the new world order, they have now caged in restricted life which resulted in isolation. Association of friends will be therapeutic healing such as distraction, advice, and sharing the same experience for and steps that were taken to stressful situations. This simple connection will lead to mental relaxation.  Take home People suffer from stress all over the world from various stressors. Stress causes many mental illnesses and sometimes these mental traumas can exacerbate more detrimental mental diseases. Stress in life is a completely natural thing but sometimes it goes beyond the controlling level. There are no such predefined methods to overcome stress because it depends on each human.

Having said that, the job security of healthcare sector professionals, including nurses, is significantly high locally and globally. Nurses can enter the workforce relatively quickly, and that’s a massive advantage if you choose this profession. * Global demand The best part of being a professionally and academically qualified, well-experienced veteran in the nursing profession is that you can work anywhere in the world. The demand for nursing professionals is a worldwide phenomenon, paving the way for your migration options as well. How can you enter the nursing profession in Sri Lanka?  There are currently 18 nursing training schools in Sri Lanka in the government sector. And the private sector is also geared up to provide quality nursing training to compensate for the demand for nursing services in the private healthcare sector. If you have 3 simple passes in GCE A/L in Biology/Mathematics/Agriculture, which belongs to the science stream, in a single sitting. Additionally, you should have passed six subjects in the G.C.E Ordinary Level examination in nothing more than two attempts, including credit passes for Sinhala / Tamil Language, Mathematics, Science and English. And the required qualifications for private institutions may vary. A well-rewarding journey on the path set by Nightingale  Following the path of the original ‘Lady with the Lamp’ can be seen as a chance to enter a stable healthcare market and a self-fulfilling passion. The inspiration and the motivation one could draw from being a nursing professional are pure and almost spiritual. “Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation as any painter’s or sculptor’s work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God’s spirit?”     <h1>Unlock your potential after O/Ls; find the best diploma for you! </h1> Usually, most of us are on autopilot mode in our lives, mainly when we are still engaged in our secondary education. We may have dreams and readymade answers to questions like “who you wanna become when you are grown?” But those answers, too, rely on our dreams, not on any real plan! Now we have endured the hard work of three years -in some cases, two years, one year or even just six months- for the single goal of passing the GCE Ordinary examination with flying colours. For some, having the best results can be a fact; for others, it can be a hope. However, you have reached this junction, and it’s better to switch to manual-pilate mode and actively plan your immediate and professional future!  After O/Ls, fun time begins! School children after O/Ls usually have an extended vacation after all the months of the hardship of studies and past papers. And most students look forward to filling this vacation with things such as hanging around with friends, fun activities and leisure pursuits, despite the parents’ nagging, armed with ideas of computer diplomas or English diplomas. Having a bit of fun after three years of hard work is fine, but shouldn’t this be a time to properly plan the future as well? Not just deciding which A/L stream you need to select, but how would that benefit you professionally? With all the free time after ages, why bother with a diploma? The key to a balanced life is not getting caught in the rat race we see today and prioritising what you believe is in your schedule, but properly scheduling your priorities. Having said that, the rare cooling-off time you get after going through your GCE O/L exam can be used for several purposes. First, it is imperative to realistically map out your future, particularly with your studies and future professional aspects. Then, you can balance your free time between having fun or blowing some steam off and focusing on gaining a skill improvement or an academic headstart based on your future map. And obtaining a diploma is an excellent place to start! Future benefits of having a diploma Having a diploma is beneficial for anybody from several perspectives. And that could be your ‘plan B’ if the GCE O/L results wouldn’t go in your way as you have planned. And there are many more: * Skill development A fine example of this is computer literacy. After A/Ls or university, when you pursue an internship, possessing a set of soft skills and hard skills will come in handy. And employers tend to hire people armed with skills and specialised knowledge, which would give a competitive edge in interviews. * Career development Companies no longer hire people purely based on certificates. Hence, prooving yourself with the knowledge gained through a professional diploma will pave your way to early career development and professional recognition. Plus, it will give you the power to choose your career wisely, rather than picking up the first job offer no matter what. * Academic development Nowadays, very few professions require you to go on a linear academic path and excel. Being a doctor is an example. However, apart from such domains, finding additional knowledge that parallels your chosen academic path is always wise.  * What path do I want to select? Selecting a diploma to finetune yourself or to invest in your academic or professional career can be two-pronged. First, you can resort to a general diploma that will hone your English or any other necessary language skills or bestow you the ICT literacy required for any professional path. The second approach will be handpicking a specialised diploma that will cater for your map of the academic or professional path. What are my options? Anyone who wants to pursue educational goals should learn that vertical educational goals are the key to true progress than horizontal and scattered educational goals. In that sense, jumping on board with several diplomas not relevant to one particular field or a trade can be pointless in the long run. However, the good news is that any student who completed the GCE O/L exam can find an array of diplomas spread throughout a vast spectrum in Sri Lanka and on online platforms. * National University diplomas The mass communication diplomas bestowed by the University of Colombo and the University of Sri Jayawardanapura are examples of valuable diploma certificates that bestow upon successful completion, which hold high credibility both in the academic sphere and professional world. * Private University diplomas An appetite to have an early advantage for your academic or professional life by being an early achiever and money is all you need to enrol for a private university diploma. And even if you decide to pursue the academic/professional path bespoke by them, you will be able to obtain the first degree and even masters a few years before your classmates! Most of the time, the path will comprise a foundation certificate, a diploma, a higher diploma, a top-up bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree. And the time duration can be significantly short compared to national universities. * The National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) Framework This <a href="https://www.tvec.gov.lk/">seven-level qualification framework</a> is open for students who completed GCE O/Ls and lays the foundation for tertiary and vocational education through a nationally recognized system that meets international standards. This government-co-sponsored pathway opens students not only to career routes but academic boosts as well. * Online education – local There are some unknown territories for most students in the Sri Lankan education field that, in fact, are hidden treasure islands. For example, with the help of the DP Education Foundation, the University of Moratuwa grants a full-stack developer diploma that can be completed online. The certification, along with the practical knowledge, can be an added advantage to enter various fields that value the knowledge of Python. Another example would be <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/courses">eSiphala from SLTMobitel</a>, Sri Lanka’s largest e-learning platform with a vast array of courses that prepare you for both the professional world and your academic path. * Online education – international We live in a world of smart devices. And any after-O/L student with a smartphone and high ambitions can use several platforms to obtain a diploma online, even without spending a rupee. Big huge international educational platforms such as LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, edX, Google Garage, and Udemy Business offer free courses as well as the opportunity to audit the paid courses. And with the multitude of course titles each platform carries, the sky will be the limit. Do you still have doubts about how to spend your time after completing O/Ls? Then remember, an ancient Roman stoic philosopher Seneca the Younger, said once that the greater part of progress is the desire to progress! </div> <footer> <div class="footerTopWrap"> <div class="container p-0 d-flex flex-wrap"> <div class="footerBox col-md-4 col-12"> <div class="footerLogo"> <a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.esiphala.lk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/esiphala-blog-logo.png" alt="Blog – eSiphala.lk" /></a> </div> <ul class="socialWrap"> <li><a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/SLtelecom" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/srilankatelecom" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/srilankatelecomplc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/SriLankaTelecom" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a></li> </ul> </ul> </div> <div class="footerBox col-md-4 col-12"> <ul class="nav contactDetails"> <li class="nav-item"> bizsolutions@slt.lk</li> <li class="nav-item"> 0711446444</li> <li class="nav-item"> Sri Lanka Telecom PLC, Lotus Road, P.O.Box 503, Colombo 01, Sri Lanka.</li> </ul> </div> <div class="footerBox col-md-4 col-12"> <ul id="menu-footer-menu" class="menu navbar-nav"><li id="menu-item-16" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-home menu-item-16"><a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/blog/">මුල් පිටුව</a></li> <li id="menu-item-17" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-17"><a href="https://www.esiphala.lk/">ප්‍රධාන වෙබ් අඩවිය</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footerBottomWrap"> <div class="container p-0 d-flex justify-content-between flex-wrap"> <div class="copyright col-md-4 col-12"></div> <div class="creator col-md-4 col-12"> </div> </div> </div> </footer> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.7/umd/popper.min.js' id='popper-js-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js' id='bootstrap-js-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/webfont/1.6.26/webfont.js' id='webfont-js-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyB_DH4yRoGB0aoM3IZFvWOIP2qNbFh_bIs&ver=1.0' id='googleapis-js-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.esiphala.lk/blog/wp-content/themes/elerning-blog-maya/js/acf_map.js' id='acf-map-js-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' id='custom-js-js-extra'> /* <![CDATA[ */ var CUSTOM_PARAMS = {"allPosts":["How To Build Relationships With Influencers And Influencer Marketing","Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing","How To Build a Support Network During The Mental Health Recovery Period","New AI Tools Can Be Useful For Life!","HOW TO USE E-LEARNING MATERIAL EFFECTIVELY ?","HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED EVEN WHEN THINGS GET DIFFICULT","FIVE WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS IN YOUR LIFE","Discover the most financially promising jobs and careers today!","Compassion and Caring: getting into the nursing profession could be your best career choice!","Unlock your potential after O\/Ls; find the best diploma for you! \u00a0","Get your student visa easily, and make your study abroad dream come true.","Protect your freedom of the digital sphere; learn more on cybersecurity!","Best Freelance Marketplaces That You Can Earn Money Instantly With Your Skills","APEUni Is The Best PTE Institute Software & The Only One You Need","Use WhatsApp API Free & Give Your Customers A Rich Business Experience!","What Is The OpenAI Mission?
