It is funny how people can be motivated for different reasons. Some people are motivated by money. Some people are motivated by love. Some are motivated by hate. A coming job interview has motivated so many students in the course. People start doing things that they will never do. They start participating in volunteer work, running marathon, setting up social clubs etc. All these activities are done to build up their CVs. The original idea of including extra-curricular activities in our CVs is good. It encourages students to focus less on books and learn to be a well-rounded person. However, students start taking short-cuts. They organise clubs with no meaning or purpose. They participate in volunteer work not to help people but so that they can put it down on their CVs. They do researches which have no meaning and no impact in the future of medicine. I am not sure the idea of including extracurricular activities on our CVs is sound any more but regardless we are all getting some life experiences from these exercises.
I feel happy when I can be motivated.
