I know deep down it is probably just a matter of having the willpower to get things done, just, on the computer there are so many distractions, in an ideal world I would just get rid of it myself (well I say that now, I probably wouldn't have the willpower to do that if it came down to it, which is what inspires me about your brother :)), but with being on my ICT course, just getting rid of the computer is not an option :( Well, it is mainly the fact that, a lot of my work including all of my assignments must be done on the computer, for example, programming, web development, graphics and animation etc.

This post was really inspiring and it is really strong of your brother to do what he did. I have been feeling the same for several months now, I know that my college studies are under threat all the time, and I have already proved this by missing out on some important assesment criterias already. It's really hard though, I have tried several times to make changes to sort things out, I always think right I am going to do 2 hours work on my assignments tonight, then, and only then will I do other things like games and that, but it just never works out. I always end up giving up and thinking ah, I have tomorrow to do it, and end up rushing it the last night before the deadline, sometimes not finishing it. The thing is, with me being on an ICT course, it is a bit of a weird situation in that I can't really give up my computer completely as my studies would only suffer more then. But reading this article has inspired me so much and makes me really what to do something about my problem, I know I need to sort it out if I wish to go to a decent university, but I just don't know how I can :( Hi,

This makes me think of another point relating to criticism from others. It seems to me that if we are eager/happy to develop then it takes the sting out of the critique of others, even welcoming it. That then has quite an impact on our happiness. Thanks again. Great post – and cool brother!

TDM tom – do you think perhaps it is a Generation Y thing? perhaps it is not that young people are more mature, but they are more open to ideas about self-awareness?

Watch out for the "gamers" in the room - they may cry out at the idea of giving away a $2000 gaming PC! Thanks Stuart.
