Experience of research process

So we are suppose to write a entry about our research process on Assignment #4 and #5. For this Assignment I want to choose a topic I cared about so I would have a desire to write this paper. I choose to pick the topic "Radar Cameras: Red Lights and Speeding" I am against Radar Camers and I wish their wasn't any at all. I am finding some resources on the "web" and I still need to look on the databases. Im excited to start putting this annotated bibliography together!

Choosing My Topic

I had a huge problem choosing my topic for Essay 2. After writing my paper I toatally think that I didn't choose a great topic to right about. I didn't really have any intrest in writing this paper or researching my topic. I learned that it is really hard to write a paper when you don't like the topic. For my next paper I need to pick a subject that I would enjoy writing about. I hope by using this method my next paper will be alot eaiser to write and I will enjoy it.

Motivation

I decided to write on the Topic of "Motivation" by English Nation which can be found here.

I believe that motivation is different for each person. Some people have more motivation than others. It's the "internal drive" some may say. I believe if you have to truley want something and believe you can achieve something to be motivated by it.

For me, I can be very self motivational. Which means my "drive" dosen't come from other people, it comes from me. If i really want to achieve something I am going to put 100% percent into what ever I do. I understand that other people arn't the same as me and thats fine. People have different motivation that others.

"We want instant gratification. The easy way out. What about the saying "No pain no Gain", or that the things in life that are worth it are the ones that you have to work for." - English Nation

I totally agree with this statement. I think alot of peole do want the easy way out of things. We need to be able to work for things in our lives. It gives us a sense of pride in the end.
