Homework Quotes

Standart top banner.

Nothing is more powerful for your future than being a gatherer of good ideas and information. That's called doing your homework.

A genius is a talented person who does his homework.

Homework strongly indicates that the teachers are not doing their jobs well enough during the school day. It's not like they'll let you bring your home stuff to school and work on it there. You can't say, 'I didn't finish sleeping at home, so I have to work on finishing my sleep here.

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. As a result, a genius is often a talented person who has simply done all of his homework.

Homework is a term that means grown up imposed yet self-afflicting torture.

Persistence is important in every endeavor. Whether it's finishing your homework, completing school, working late to finish a project, or "finishing the drill" in sports, winners persist to the point of sacrifice in order to achieve their goals.

I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.

Homework, I have discovered, involves a sharp pencil and thick books and long sighs.

You will never get anywhere if you do not do your homework.

We're doing our homework to make sure we're prepared.

Do your homework or hire wise experts to help you. Never jump into a business you have no idea about.

When was the last time you used the words 'teach me'? Maybe not since you started first grade? Here's an irony about school: The daily grind of tests, homework, and pressures sometimes blunts rather than stimulates a thirst for knowledge.

The more you do your homework, the more you're free to be intuitive. But you've got to put the work in.

College is about three things: homework, fun, and sleep...but you can only choose two.

The best schools tend to have the best teachers, not to mention parents who supervise homework, so there is less need for self-organised learning. But where a child comes from a less supportive home environment, where there are family tensions perhaps, their schoolwork can suffer. They need to be taught to think and study for themselves.

One of life's most painful moments comes when we must admit that we didn't do our homework, that we are not prepared.

To overcome stress you have to find out something. You've got to do some research and homework. You need to find out who you are today.

My life is a black hole of boredom and despair." "So basically you've been doing homework." "Like I said, black hole.

Do your homework, study the craft, believe in yourself, and out-work everyone.

Do as much homework as you can. Learn everybody's job and don't just settle.

If you want to be lucky, do your homework.

I'm learning skills I will use for the rest of my life by doing homework...procrastinating and negotiation.

You have got to pay attention, you have got to study and you have to do your homework. You have to score higher than everybody else. Otherwise, there is always somebody there waiting to take your place.

You don’t get rich off your day job, you get rich off your homework.

Improvement only comes from action!

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” – Arthur Ashe, American tennis player

Starting is the hardest part. Set a timer for 60 minutes and see how you feel when the timer goes off. Chances are you’ll want to keep going.

“Studying for 1 hour is less than 5% of your day. You can make it through 60 minutes.” – Alexandra Markin, founder of Online Student Life

The only way to get ahead in life is by getting started, no matter how small your steps are in the beginning.

If you’re looking for small, actionable steps to help you get started, read the post How to Study When You Don’t Feel Like It .

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” – Mark Twain, American Writer

They say there’s no time like the present. Don’t waste it!

“The greatest amount of wasted time is time not getting started.” – Dawson Trotman, Author

Every single day that goes by is an opportunity for you to create the life you want.

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” – Maria Robinson, American politician

Everyday you have a choice: work hard for the life you want, or stay exactly where you are.

“Studying is hard. Not having the life you want is hard. Choose your hard.” – Alexandra Markin, founder of Online Student Life

It’s easy to take a day or two off from studying. Work towards studying daily even if it’s something small like reviewing flashcards, reading the chapter summary or doing one problem.

“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” – Robert Collier, American author

Don’t procrastinate. When you make studying a part of your morning routine, your progress will flourish.

“You will find the key to success under the alarm clock.” – Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father of the United States

A reminder that ambition does not achieve goals; it’s the work you must put in to get there.

“Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer, poet and thinker

It’s the series of small steps that lead to success, however small. You can’t harvest without first planting the garden.

“Do something today that your future self will thank you for.” – Sean Patrick Flanery, American actor

Theses quotes will encourage you to rise above your comfort zone and embrace the fact that success is only achieved through hard work and dedication. Stay motivated to study with the powerful quotes in this section.

If you can keep studying through tough times and hard subjects, you’ll be miles ahead of your peers. The best opportunities present themselves when uncovered behind the invisible wall of hard work.

“Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them.” – Ann Landers, American columnist of Ask Ann Landers

Wishing won’t work without with a plan of working hard.

“You don’t get what you wish for. You get what you work for.” – Daniel Milstein, Ukrainian entrepreneur

If you’re struggling with your subject of study and feel you’re just not smart enough to become a doctor, lawyer, entrepreneur or literally anything else, don’t give up!

Read the book Talent is Overrated by Geoff Colvin. You’ll be surprised at the one (fairly easy) thing successful people do that makes them who they are. (Hint – they weren’t born with it).

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” – Tim Notke, professor

Becuase the whole point of studying hard is so you can have nice things, correct?

“A lot of hard work is hidden behind nice things.” – Ralph Lauren, American fashion designer

Commit to your success by showing up for your studies. Every. Single. Day.

“Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don’t turn up at all.” – Sam Ewing, musical composer

There are no shortcuts to success. You have to put in the time.

“Skill is only developed by hours and hours of work.” – Usain Bolt, Jamaican runner

Dream hard, work harder.

“Some people dream of success, while others wake up and work hard at it.” – Napoleon Hill, author of Think And Grow Rich

College is hard, and online college can be even harder without learning how to master self-discipline , especially if you’re working on a self-directed schedule. It’s the difference between success and failure, so push through when motivation wanes.

“You won’t always be motivated, so you must learn to be disciplined.” – Alexandra Markin, founder of Online Student Life

Studying is not glamorous. Romanticize it all you want, but college is full of late nights and long hours. Only those who tenaciously climb the academic mountain will be heavily rewarded.

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” – Thomas Edison, American inventor

As you’ll find on your education journey, inspiration is fleeting. Don’t overthink it: clear your desk, open your books and just start.

“Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.” – Stephen King, American author

When you encounter challenging subjects or the temptation to procrastinate, these quotes serve as a powerful reminder of our goals and the importance of consistent effort.

You worked hard to get into university – don’t let procrastination take over.

“If you have goals and procrastination, you have nothing. If you have goals and you take action, you will have anything you want.” – Thomas J. Vilord, author

Face challenging subjects head on. Whether it’s math, coding or biology, embrace the fact that these difficult classes are what makes us stronger.

I found math courses the most difficult. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I focused on taking detailed math notes from the textbook, took my time with the course, and did as many practice problems as possible. By the end of the course, I felt my self-confidence in math had much improved.

“Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.” – Jillian Michaels, American personal trainer and businesswoman

You can productively use your desk chair for one of two things – studying or Netflix. I can tell you from experience that the latter won’t buy you what your dreams desire.

“The Lord gave us two ends – one to sit on and the other to think with. Success depends on which one we use the most.” – Ann Landers, American columnist, “Ask Ann Landers”

kKnowledge is the foundation, but action is the catalyst for change and progress. Without action, knowledge remains only untapped potential.

“Knowledge + action = the life of your dreams. Keep pushing.” – Alexandra Markin, founder of Online Student Life

It’s not the end degree goal that deters most students; its enduring the daily study sessions for the weeks that turn into months, and the months that turn into years.

Keep yourself motivated by tracking your sessions. There’s something satisfying about tracking your study hours and looking back at a completed monthly page showing your progress.

“It isn’t the mountains ahead that wear you down. It’s the pebble in your shoe.” – Muhammad Ali, American professional boxer

When you go too long in between study sessions, you tend to forget things you’ve learned. This only compounds in courses where you have 30 weeks to finish. Don’t re-learn concepts; keep on a consistent study path and put what you learn to use on a daily basis.

“Only knowledge that is used sticks in your mind.” – Dale Carnegie, author of How To Win Friends and Influence People

There are some fantastic Instagram studygram accounts out there. But apart from the pretty desks, fancy stationary and inspirational day-in-the-life videos, you have to change your inspired mind into plausible action.

“This is your sign to stop scrolling social media, get out your books, and study. At some point inspiration must change into action.” – Alexandra Markin, founder of Online Student Life

There is no way to shortcut learning concepts or doing a math problem over and over again until you get it right. Success takes time and effort.

“There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.” – Zig Ziglar, American author

Building good study habits is what allows you to keep going on days when motivation is low.

“Motivation is what sets you in motion, habit is what keeps you going.” – Jim Ryun, Former US Representative

The planning process can be so enjoyable for a lot of us: setting up a new bullet journal habit tracker or a new Notion page, but more important than that is execution. Your pretty plan is there to serve a purpose – bettering yourself.

Like the setup in the photo below? Go to the post Essential Bullet Journal Spreads for Online Students for the details on how to create it!

“Plan your work and work your plan.” – Napoleon Hill, author of Think And Grow Rich

Everyone experiences failure, even the straight A students. It should not be seen as something negative, rather as a valuable learning experience. I learned more from my low test scores and math problems I got wrong than I did from easily acing a concept or course.

Embrace the failures; they are there to serve you.

Rise up after every failure.

“Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Don’t view failure as the end; view it as finding another way to reach your goal.

“Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.” – Zig Ziglar, American author

It can be hard to bounce back from failing an exam or not getting accepted into your college of choice, but know there is always another option out there, and that’s something to be enthusiastic about.

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” – Winston Churchill, former British Prime Minister

There are more ways that won’t work than those that will, so keep going until you have found a solution.

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” – Thomas Edison, American inventor

This is one of my favourite quotes I found years ago on none other that Pinterest. I like to repeat this to myself every time I look in the mirror when I feel times are tough.

“Mirror mirror on the wall, I’ll always get up after I fall. And whether I run, walk or have to crawl, I’ll set my goals and achieve them all.” – Unknown

Even if you’re not sure your major is exactly the right choice for you, it would be worse to have never tried.

“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.” – Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States

You never know what’s just around the corner: an offer of an internship, your dream job or an opportunity you didn’t expect that will change your life – hang in there!

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison, American inventor

It’s inevitable that you will fail. It happens to everyone, even the best students. But you can minimize the times you do fail by always being prepared.

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” – Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father of the United States

Failures aren’t really failures, they’re lessons. The only time you actually fail is when you give up.

“The only failure is quitting. Everything else is just gathering information.” – Jen Sincero, author of You Are A Badass

Failure doesn’t always have to be dire, like failing a class. It can be missing a few percentages away from an A, having your project turn out differently than you planned or having to miss a study session with your best friend.

Whether you realize it or not, these small things are all failures you’re overcoming, learning from, and getting stronger because of.

“Fall seven times, stand up eight.” – Japanese Proverb

Embarking on a journey of higher education is a noble pursuit, and it’s completely normal for doubts and fears to cloud our path forward.

These quotes will help you overcome any fear you may have!

If you have a good job but know you can do better, but you have to leave that job to go back to school, do it. You have to leave your comfort zone to be able to achieve greater things.

“Do not be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.” – John Rockefeller, American business magnate

Moving across the country or even to another continent to attend your dream college can be scary, but often it’s really only the fear of the unknown that scares you.

“Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.” – George Addair, real-estate developer

Sitting around worrying about your studies while you procrastinate watching Netflix or scrolling TikTok isn’t going to make anything better. Getting up and doing something about it is the only fix.

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. “ – Dale Carnegie, American author

The whole reason you’re going to college is to learn new things. Welcome the challenge! Anytime you go beyond what you know you are certain to fail, but without failure there is no growth.

“Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer, poet and thinker

You are your own person, having unique talents to share with the world. Use others only as inspiration, and never try to imitate them.

“Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer, poet and thinker

Don’t worry – your fear will only last until you’ve started doing the thing. Once you’ve got the hang of it, all perception of fear will dissipate.

If you feel you struggle with this, read Susan’s book Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway , with techniques for turning fear, indecision, and anger into power, action, and love.

“Feel the fear and do it anyway.” – Susan Jeffers, author

Emerson has some great quotes, especially on fear and doubt. You can practice facing your fear head on everyday: starting to tackle that concept you know nothing about, learning how to use Notion or sending that email to your professor to ask for help.

These may seem insignificant, but fears are not just for life’s bigger issues.

“He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer, poet and thinker

Which definition of fear will you choose today?

“F-E-A-R has two meanings: ‘Forget Everything And Run’ or ‘Face Everything And Rise.’ The choice is yours.” – Zig Ziglar, American author

It takes courage to overcome your fears. Sometimes, you just need to try again tomorrow. Give yourself grace.

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying “I will try again tomorrow.'” – Mary Anne Radmacher, author

Don’t compare yourself to someone else’s middle. We all experience fear as we embark our next journeys.

“Even the greatest were beginners. Don’t be afraid to take that first step.” – Muhammad Ali, American professional boxer

Now that you’ve been inspired by this post and have saved some of these to your Pinterest board, it’s time to sit down and study.

You have to power to do anything you set your mind to; don’t underestimate yourself.

Now you have a bunch of study quotes to go to when you need motivation. And here are some tips that may be helpful as well.

• Honor your feelings

The lack of motivation, boredom, and anxiety can all be signs of burnout. And when you have no fuel in the tank, it’s impossible to fire up the engine. So instead of criticizing your reluctance to study, write down how you feel.

It may also help to track your prime time and downtime. Maybe you are a morning person who performs the best in the early hours. Or perhaps you are the opposite. Schedule your study accordingly and do the most challenging tasks in your prime time.

• Schedule breaks

You are not tired for no reason, especially when it’s chronic. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is to take a break. So don’t forget to arrange break time in between your day.

The Pomodoro method may be a good place to start. Study for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break and repeat. Use a timer, so you don’t need to check the time.

• Find a study buddy

If you have a group of friends or a classmate to study with, it’s easier to keep yourself accountable.

• Write down your goal

What are your goals? Goals can be the best motivator. So take a piece of paper and write down your goals. Don’t forget to include both short-term and long-term goals.

Short-term goals can be finishing your paper by next Tuesday or getting an A at finals. Long-term goals may be getting into your ideal college. Include both so you have something to keep you excited for now and in the long run.

7 Research-Based Reasons Why Students Should Not Have Homework: Academic Insights, Opposing Perspectives & Alternatives

In recent years, the question of why students should not have homework has become a topic of intense debate among educators, parents, and students themselves. This discussion stems from a growing body of research that challenges the traditional view of homework as an essential component of academic success. The notion that homework is an integral part of learning is being reevaluated in light of new findings about its effectiveness and impact on students’ overall well-being.

The push against homework is not just about the hours spent on completing assignments; it’s about rethinking the role of education in fostering the well-rounded development of young individuals. Critics argue that homework, particularly in excessive amounts, can lead to negative outcomes such as stress, burnout, and a diminished love for learning. Moreover, it often disproportionately affects students from disadvantaged backgrounds, exacerbating educational inequities. The debate also highlights the importance of allowing children to have enough free time for play, exploration, and family interaction, which are crucial for their social and emotional development.

Checking 13yo’s math homework & I have just one question. I can catch mistakes & help her correct. But what do kids do when their parent isn’t an Algebra teacher? Answer: They get frustrated. Quit. Get a bad grade. Think they aren’t good at math. How is homework fair??? — Jay Wamsted (@JayWamsted) March 24, 2022

As we delve into this discussion, we explore various facets of why reducing or even eliminating homework could be beneficial. We consider the research, weigh the pros and cons, and examine alternative approaches to traditional homework that can enhance learning without overburdening students.

Insights from Teachers and Education Industry Experts: Diverse Perspectives on Homework

In the ongoing conversation about the role and impact of homework in education, the perspectives of those directly involved in the teaching process are invaluable. Teachers and education industry experts bring a wealth of experience and insights from the front lines of learning. Their viewpoints, shaped by years of interaction with students and a deep understanding of educational methodologies, offer a critical lens through which we can evaluate the effectiveness and necessity of homework in our current educational paradigm.

Check out this video featuring Courtney White, a high school language arts teacher who gained widespread attention for her explanation of why she chooses not to assign homework.

Here are the insights and opinions from various experts in the educational field on this topic:

“I teach 1st grade. I had parents ask for homework. I explained that I don’t give homework. Home time is family time. Time to play, cook, explore and spend time together. I do send books home, but there is no requirement or checklist for reading them. Read them, enjoy them, and return them when your child is ready for more. I explained that as a parent myself, I know they are busy—and what a waste of energy it is to sit and force their kids to do work at home—when they could use that time to form relationships and build a loving home. Something kids need more than a few math problems a week.” — Colleen S. , 1st grade teacher

“The lasting educational value of homework at that age is not proven. A kid says the times tables [at school] because he studied the times tables last night. But over a long period of time, a kid who is drilled on the times tables at school, rather than as homework, will also memorize their times tables. We are worried about young children and their social emotional learning. And that has to do with physical activity, it has to do with playing with peers, it has to do with family time. All of those are very important and can be removed by too much homework.” — David Bloomfield , education professor at Brooklyn College and the City University of New York graduate center

“Homework in primary school has an effect of around zero. In high school it’s larger. (…) Which is why we need to get it right. Not why we need to get rid of it. It’s one of those lower hanging fruit that we should be looking in our primary schools to say, ‘Is it really making a difference?’” — John Hattie , professor

”Many kids are working as many hours as their overscheduled parents and it is taking a toll – psychologically and in many other ways too. We see kids getting up hours before school starts just to get their homework done from the night before… While homework may give kids one more responsibility, it ignores the fact that kids do not need to grow up and become adults at ages 10 or 12. With schools cutting recess time or eliminating playgrounds, kids absorb every single stress there is, only on an even higher level. Their brains and bodies need time to be curious, have fun, be creative and just be a kid.” — Pat Wayman, teacher and CEO of HowtoLearn.com

7 Reasons Why Students Should Not Have Homework

Let’s delve into the reasons against assigning homework to students. Examining these arguments offers important perspectives on the wider educational and developmental consequences of homework practices.

1. Elevated Stress and Health Consequences

The ongoing debate about homework often focuses on its educational value, but a vital aspect that cannot be overlooked is the significant stress and health consequences it brings to students. In the context of American life, where approximately 70% of people report moderate or extreme stress due to various factors like mass shootings, healthcare affordability, discrimination, racism, sexual harassment, climate change, presidential elections, and the need to stay informed, the additional burden of homework further exacerbates this stress, particularly among students.

Key findings and statistics reveal a worrying trend:

• Overwhelming Student Stress: A staggering 72% of students report being often or always stressed over schoolwork, with a concerning 82% experiencing physical symptoms due to this stress.
• Serious Health Issues: Symptoms linked to homework stress include sleep deprivation, headaches, exhaustion, weight loss, and stomach problems.
• Sleep Deprivation: Despite the National Sleep Foundation recommending 8.5 to 9.25 hours of sleep for healthy adolescent development, students average just 6.80 hours of sleep on school nights. About 68% of students stated that schoolwork often or always prevented them from getting enough sleep, which is critical for their physical and mental health.
• Turning to Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms: Alarmingly, the pressure from excessive homework has led some students to turn to alcohol and drugs as a way to cope with stress.

This data paints a concerning picture. Students, already navigating a world filled with various stressors, find themselves further burdened by homework demands. The direct correlation between excessive homework and health issues indicates a need for reevaluation. The goal should be to ensure that homework if assigned, adds value to students’ learning experiences without compromising their health and well-being.

By addressing the issue of homework-related stress and health consequences, we can take a significant step toward creating a more nurturing and effective educational environment. This environment would not only prioritize academic achievement but also the overall well-being and happiness of students, preparing them for a balanced and healthy life both inside and outside the classroom.

2. Inequitable Impact and Socioeconomic Disparities

In the discourse surrounding educational equity, homework emerges as a factor exacerbating socioeconomic disparities, particularly affecting students from lower-income families and those with less supportive home environments. While homework is often justified as a means to raise academic standards and promote equity, its real-world impact tells a different story.

The inequitable burden of homework becomes starkly evident when considering the resources required to complete it, especially in the digital age. Homework today often necessitates a computer and internet access – resources not readily available to all students. This digital divide significantly disadvantages students from lower-income backgrounds, deepening the chasm between them and their more affluent peers.

Key points highlighting the disparities:

• Digital Inequity: Many students lack access to necessary technology for homework, with low-income families disproportionately affected.
• Impact of COVID-19: The pandemic exacerbated these disparities as education shifted online, revealing the extent of the digital divide.
• Educational Outcomes Tied to Income: A critical indicator of college success is linked more to family income levels than to rigorous academic preparation. Research indicates that while 77% of students from high-income families graduate from highly competitive colleges, only 9% from low-income families achieve the same . This disparity suggests that the pressure of heavy homework loads, rather than leveling the playing field, may actually hinder the chances of success for less affluent students.

Moreover, the approach to homework varies significantly across different types of schools. While some rigorous private and preparatory schools in both marginalized and affluent communities assign extreme levels of homework, many progressive schools focusing on holistic learning and self-actualization opt for no homework, yet achieve similar levels of college and career success. This contrast raises questions about the efficacy and necessity of heavy homework loads in achieving educational outcomes.

The issue of homework and its inequitable impact is not just an academic concern; it is a reflection of broader societal inequalities. By continuing practices that disproportionately burden students from less privileged backgrounds, the educational system inadvertently perpetuates the very disparities it seeks to overcome.

3. Negative Impact on Family Dynamics

Homework, a staple of the educational system, is often perceived as a necessary tool for academic reinforcement. However, its impact extends beyond the realm of academics, significantly affecting family dynamics. The negative repercussions of homework on the home environment have become increasingly evident, revealing a troubling pattern that can lead to conflict, mental health issues, and domestic friction.

A study conducted in 2015 involving 1,100 parents sheds light on the strain homework places on family relationships. The findings are telling:

• Increased Likelihood of Conflicts: Families where parents did not have a college degree were 200% more likely to experience fights over homework.
• Misinterpretations and Misunderstandings: Parents often misinterpret their children’s difficulties with homework as a lack of attention in school, leading to feelings of frustration and mistrust on both sides.
• Discriminatory Impact: The research concluded that the current approach to homework disproportionately affects children whose parents have lower educational backgrounds, speak English as a second language, or belong to lower-income groups.

The issue is not confined to specific demographics but is a widespread concern. Samantha Hulsman, a teacher featured in Education Week Teacher , shared her personal experience with the toll that homework can take on family time. She observed that a seemingly simple 30-minute assignment could escalate into a three-hour ordeal, causing stress and strife between parents and children. Hulsman’s insights challenge the traditional mindset about homework, highlighting a shift towards the need for skills such as collaboration and problem-solving over rote memorization of facts.

The need of the hour is to reassess the role and amount of homework assigned to students. It’s imperative to find a balance that facilitates learning and growth without compromising the well-being of the family unit. Such a reassessment would not only aid in reducing domestic conflicts but also contribute to a more supportive and nurturing environment for children’s overall development.

4. Consumption of Free Time

In recent years, a growing chorus of voices has raised concerns about the excessive burden of homework on students, emphasizing how it consumes their free time and impedes their overall well-being. The issue is not just the quantity of homework, but its encroachment on time that could be used for personal growth, relaxation, and family bonding.

Authors Sara Bennett and Nancy Kalish , in their book “The Case Against Homework,” offer an insightful window into the lives of families grappling with the demands of excessive homework. They share stories from numerous interviews conducted in the mid-2000s, highlighting the universal struggle faced by families across different demographics. A poignant account from a parent in Menlo Park, California, describes nightly sessions extending until 11 p.m., filled with stress and frustration, leading to a soured attitude towards school in both the child and the parent. This narrative is not isolated, as about one-third of the families interviewed expressed feeling crushed by the overwhelming workload.

Key points of concern:

• Excessive Time Commitment: Students, on average, spend over 6 hours in school each day, and homework adds significantly to this time, leaving little room for other activities.
• Impact on Extracurricular Activities: Homework infringes upon time for sports, music, art, and other enriching experiences, which are as crucial as academic courses.
• Stifling Creativity and Self-Discovery: The constant pressure of homework limits opportunities for students to explore their interests and learn new skills independently.

The National Education Association (NEA) and the National PTA (NPTA) recommend a “10 minutes of homework per grade level” standard, suggesting a more balanced approach. However, the reality often far exceeds this guideline, particularly for older students. The impact of this overreach is profound, affecting not just academic performance but also students’ attitudes toward school, their self-confidence, social skills, and overall quality of life.

Furthermore, the intense homework routine’s effectiveness is doubtful, as it can overwhelm students and detract from the joy of learning. Effective learning builds on prior knowledge in an engaging way, but excessive homework in a home setting may be irrelevant and uninteresting. The key challenge is balancing homework to enhance learning without overburdening students, allowing time for holistic growth and activities beyond academics. It’s crucial to reassess homework policies to support well-rounded development.

5. Challenges for Students with Learning Disabilities

Homework, a standard educational tool, poses unique challenges for students with learning disabilities, often leading to a frustrating and disheartening experience. These challenges go beyond the typical struggles faced by most students and can significantly impede their educational progress and emotional well-being.

Child psychologist Kenneth Barish’s insights in Psychology Today shed light on the complex relationship between homework and students with learning disabilities:

• Homework as a Painful Endeavor: For students with learning disabilities, completing homework can be likened to “running with a sprained ankle.” It’s a task that, while doable, is fraught with difficulty and discomfort.
• Misconceptions about Laziness: Often, children who struggle with homework are perceived as lazy. However, Barish emphasizes that these students are more likely to be frustrated, discouraged, or anxious rather than unmotivated.
• Limited Improvement in School Performance: The battles over homework rarely translate into significant improvement in school for these children, challenging the conventional notion of homework as universally beneficial.

These points highlight the need for a tailored approach to homework for students with learning disabilities. It’s crucial to recognize that the traditional homework model may not be the most effective or appropriate method for facilitating their learning. Instead, alternative strategies that accommodate their unique needs and learning styles should be considered.

In conclusion, the conventional homework paradigm needs reevaluation, particularly concerning students with learning disabilities. By understanding and addressing their unique challenges, educators can create a more inclusive and supportive educational environment. This approach not only aids in their academic growth but also nurtures their confidence and overall development, ensuring that they receive an equitable and empathetic educational experience.

6. Critique of Underlying Assumptions about Learning

The longstanding belief in the educational sphere that more homework automatically translates to more learning is increasingly being challenged. Critics argue that this assumption is not only flawed but also unsupported by solid evidence, questioning the efficacy of homework as an effective learning tool.

Alfie Kohn , a prominent critic of homework, aptly compares students to vending machines in this context, suggesting that the expectation of inserting an assignment and automatically getting out of learning is misguided. Kohn goes further, labeling homework as the “greatest single extinguisher of children’s curiosity.” This critique highlights a fundamental issue: the potential of homework to stifle the natural inquisitiveness and love for learning in children.

The lack of concrete evidence supporting the effectiveness of homework is evident in various studies:

• Marginal Effectiveness of Homework: A study involving 28,051 high school seniors found that the effectiveness of homework was marginal, and in some cases, it was counterproductive, leading to more academic problems than solutions.
• No Correlation with Academic Achievement: Research in “ National Differences, Global Similarities ” showed no correlation between homework and academic achievement in elementary students, and any positive correlation in middle or high school diminished with increasing homework loads.
• Increased Academic Pressure: The Teachers College Record published findings that homework adds to academic pressure and societal stress, exacerbating performance gaps between students from different socioeconomic backgrounds.

These findings bring to light several critical points:

• Quality Over Quantity: According to a recent article in Monitor on Psychology , experts concur that the quality of homework assignments, along with the quality of instruction, student motivation, and inherent ability, is more crucial for academic success than the quantity of homework.
• Counterproductive Nature of Excessive Homework: Excessive homework can lead to more academic challenges, particularly for students already facing pressures from other aspects of their lives.
• Societal Stress and Performance Gaps: Homework can intensify societal stress and widen the academic performance divide.

The emerging consensus from these studies suggests that the traditional approach to homework needs rethinking. Rather than focusing on the quantity of assignments, educators should consider the quality and relevance of homework, ensuring it truly contributes to learning and development. This reassessment is crucial for fostering an educational environment that nurtures curiosity and a love for learning, rather than extinguishing it.

7. Issues with Homework Enforcement, Reliability, and Temptation to Cheat

In the academic realm, the enforcement of homework is a subject of ongoing debate, primarily due to its implications on student integrity and the true value of assignments. The challenges associated with homework enforcement often lead to unintended yet significant issues, such as cheating, copying, and a general undermining of educational values.

Key points highlighting enforcement challenges:

• Difficulty in Enforcing Completion: Ensuring that students complete their homework can be a complex task, and not completing homework does not always correlate with poor grades.
• Reliability of Homework Practice: The reliability of homework as a practice tool is undermined when students, either out of desperation or lack of understanding, choose shortcuts over genuine learning. This approach can lead to the opposite of the intended effect, especially when assignments are not well-aligned with the students’ learning levels or interests.
• Temptation to Cheat: The issue of cheating is particularly troubling. According to a report by The Chronicle of Higher Education , under the pressure of at-home assignments, many students turn to copying others’ work, plagiarizing, or using creative technological “hacks.” This tendency not only questions the integrity of the learning process but also reflects the extreme stress that homework can induce.
• Parental Involvement in Completion: As noted in The American Journal of Family Therapy , this raises concerns about the authenticity of the work submitted. When parents complete assignments for their children, it not only deprives the students of the opportunity to learn but also distorts the purpose of homework as a learning aid.

In conclusion, the challenges of homework enforcement present a complex problem that requires careful consideration. The focus should shift towards creating meaningful, manageable, and quality-driven assignments that encourage genuine learning and integrity, rather than overwhelming students and prompting counterproductive behaviors.

Addressing Opposing Views on Homework Practices

While opinions on homework policies are diverse, understanding different viewpoints is crucial. In the following sections, we will examine common arguments supporting homework assignments, along with counterarguments that offer alternative perspectives on this educational practice.

1. Improvement of Academic Performance

Homework is commonly perceived as a means to enhance academic performance, with the belief that it directly contributes to better grades and test scores. This view posits that through homework, students reinforce what they learn in class, leading to improved understanding and retention, which ultimately translates into higher academic achievement.

However, the question of why students should not have homework becomes pertinent when considering the complex relationship between homework and academic performance. Studies have indicated that excessive homework doesn’t necessarily equate to higher grades or test scores. Instead, too much homework can backfire, leading to stress and fatigue that adversely affect a student’s performance. Reuters highlights an intriguing correlation suggesting that physical activity may be more conducive to academic success than additional homework, underscoring the importance of a holistic approach to education that prioritizes both physical and mental well-being for enhanced academic outcomes.

2. Reinforcement of Learning

Homework is traditionally viewed as a tool to reinforce classroom learning, enabling students to practice and retain material. However, research suggests its effectiveness is ambiguous. In instances where homework is well-aligned with students’ abilities and classroom teachings, it can indeed be beneficial. Particularly for younger students , excessive homework can cause burnout and a loss of interest in learning, counteracting its intended purpose.

Furthermore, when homework surpasses a student’s capability, it may induce frustration and confusion rather than aid in learning. This challenges the notion that more homework invariably leads to better understanding and retention of educational content.

3. Development of Time Management Skills

Homework is often considered a crucial tool in helping students develop important life skills such as time management and organization. The idea is that by regularly completing assignments, students learn to allocate their time efficiently and organize their tasks effectively, skills that are invaluable in both academic and personal life.

However, the impact of homework on developing these skills is not always positive. For younger students, especially, an overwhelming amount of homework can be more of a hindrance than a help. Instead of fostering time management and organizational skills, an excessive workload often leads to stress and anxiety . These negative effects can impede the learning process and make it difficult for students to manage their time and tasks effectively, contradicting the original purpose of homework.

4. Preparation for Future Academic Challenges

Homework is often touted as a preparatory tool for future academic challenges that students will encounter in higher education and their professional lives. The argument is that by tackling homework, students build a foundation of knowledge and skills necessary for success in more advanced studies and in the workforce, fostering a sense of readiness and confidence.

Contrarily, an excessive homework load, especially from a young age, can have the opposite effect . It can instill a negative attitude towards education, dampening students’ enthusiasm and willingness to embrace future academic challenges. Overburdening students with homework risks disengagement and loss of interest, thereby defeating the purpose of preparing them for future challenges. Striking a balance in the amount and complexity of homework is crucial to maintaining student engagement and fostering a positive attitude towards ongoing learning.

5. Parental Involvement in Education

Homework often acts as a vital link connecting parents to their child’s educational journey, offering insights into the school’s curriculum and their child’s learning process. This involvement is key in fostering a supportive home environment and encouraging a collaborative relationship between parents and the school. When parents understand and engage with what their children are learning, it can significantly enhance the educational experience for the child.

However, the line between involvement and over-involvement is thin. When parents excessively intervene by completing their child’s homework,  it can have adverse effects . Such actions not only diminish the educational value of homework but also rob children of the opportunity to develop problem-solving skills and independence. This over-involvement, coupled with disparities in parental ability to assist due to variations in time, knowledge, or resources, may lead to unequal educational outcomes, underlining the importance of a balanced approach to parental participation in homework.

Exploring Alternatives to Homework and Finding a Middle Ground

In the ongoing debate about the role of homework in education, it’s essential to consider viable alternatives and strategies to minimize its burden. While completely eliminating homework may not be feasible for all educators, there are several effective methods to reduce its impact and offer more engaging, student-friendly approaches to learning.

Alternatives to Traditional Homework

• Project-Based Learning: This method focuses on hands-on, long-term projects where students explore real-world problems. It encourages creativity, critical thinking, and collaborative skills, offering a more engaging and practical learning experience than traditional homework. For creative ideas on school projects, especially related to the solar system, be sure to explore our dedicated article on solar system projects .
• Flipped Classrooms: Here, students are introduced to new content through videos or reading materials at home and then use class time for interactive activities. This approach allows for more personalized and active learning during school hours.
• Reading for Pleasure: Encouraging students to read books of their choice can foster a love for reading and improve literacy skills without the pressure of traditional homework assignments. This approach is exemplified by Marion County, Florida , where public schools implemented a no-homework policy for elementary students. Instead, they are encouraged to read nightly for 20 minutes . Superintendent Heidi Maier’s decision was influenced by research showing that while homework offers minimal benefit to young students, regular reading significantly boosts their learning. For book recommendations tailored to middle school students, take a look at our specially curated article .

Ideas for Minimizing Homework

• Limiting Homework Quantity: Adhering to guidelines like the “ 10-minute rule ” (10 minutes of homework per grade level per night) can help ensure that homework does not become overwhelming.
• Quality Over Quantity: Focus on assigning meaningful homework that is directly relevant to what is being taught in class, ensuring it adds value to students’ learning.
• Homework Menus: Offering students a choice of assignments can cater to diverse learning styles and interests, making homework more engaging and personalized.
• Integrating Technology: Utilizing educational apps and online platforms can make homework more interactive and enjoyable, while also providing immediate feedback to students. To gain deeper insights into the role of technology in learning environments, explore our articles discussing the benefits of incorporating technology in classrooms and a comprehensive list of educational VR apps . These resources will provide you with valuable information on how technology can enhance the educational experience.

For teachers who are not ready to fully eliminate homework, these strategies offer a compromise, ensuring that homework supports rather than hinders student learning. By focusing on quality, relevance, and student engagement, educators can transform homework from a chore into a meaningful component of education that genuinely contributes to students’ academic growth and personal development. In this way, we can move towards a more balanced and student-centric approach to learning, both in and out of the classroom.

51 Motivational Quotes For Students Who Need Inspiration

Lauren Holliday

The struggle is real -- especially for students and recent grads.

I know because once upon a time I was a college student, and it wasn’t exactly fun. You have to juggle working with interning with studying with going to class and attempting to have a social life.

Then, you graduate, and you still find yourself poor and underemployed. It can suck. But eventually, if you keep on fighting through the suckiness, you’ll get past the crappy stage and into the prospering phase. I know this because I’ve made it past that hump. And if I can do it, you can do it.

One thing that got me through the bad times was motivational quotes. My thinking is that they can help you too. That’s why I collected a massive list of encouraging quotes for work, for school, and for life! I hope they help you as much as they’ve helped me.

Motivational quotes by famous people

1. michael jordan.

I love this inspirational quote by Michael Jordan because it's easy to forget that the more you do, the more you fail. As they say: "You win some. You lose most."

If you're not failing, then you're either not doing enough, and/or you're not challenging yourself enough.

Not only that, when you graduate and step into the real world, you won't have a syllabus or an academic calendar that tells you exactly what you can expect for every day of the year. That's a big deal. That fact alone is why you're going to fail a lot at first. Just remember it's a learning experience , and the more you practice, the more you'll succeed.

2. Seth Godin

Seth Godin  reminds us that the majority of people will try to shoot down our dreams. They'll poke holes in your work, your dreams and your ideas -- especially when you have little experience and are just starting out. Keep an open mind and listen to their suggestions, but don't let them deplete you or even stop you. 

As one of my mentors always says: "You only need one yes." One day, you'll get that "yes," and you'll be so glad you didn't listen to the naysayers. 

3. Oprah Winfrey

Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life becuase you become what you believe. 

When you think of Oprah Winfrey, you probably think of a freakin' superhero. I don't blame you. She is an incredibly influential and successful woman and the queen of a multimedia empire. How could anyone but a superhero do that, right? Wrong. Winfrey reminds us that she was an ordinary person who dared to dream of extraordinary things. You can do the same. You should do the same!

4. Tupac Shakur

So many of us overanalyze failures -- or what feels like failures -- over and over again in our heads. This is not good because then we begin to believe we are a failure. 

In this quote, Tupac Shakur is telling us that just because something ends -- a job, a relationship, whatever -- life still goes on. You have the power to forget about it, and move the eff on. 

5. Martin Luther King

We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but in life, you're going to face A LOT of disappointments. You may not get that dream job you wanted or your boyfriend might dump you or you might not get that dream job and your boyfriend might dump you simultaneously.

Whatever the disappointment is, you must remain hopeful because, after all, hope is what keeps us alive.

6. Peter Thiel

Traditions are like cliches. They are everywhere. They may sometimes even be correct, but often they are justified by nothing except constant repetition.

At the beginning of Peter Thiel's commencement speech, we learn he almost didn't become the founder of PayPal. Instead, he almost became a lawyer, but when he didn't get a coveted clerkship, he decided to give up being a lawyer, and instead, he founded PayPal. 

This is what Thiel had to say about it: 

“Looking back at my ambition to become a lawyer, it looks less like a plan for the future and more like an alibi for the present. It was a way to explain to anyone who would ask—to my parents, to my peers, and most of all to myself—that there was no need to worry. I was perfectly on track. But it turned out in retrospect that my biggest problem was taking the track without thinking really hard about where it was going.”

Some of you may be considering graduate school simply because you have no idea what the hell you want to do with your life. Most of the time -- unless you want to be a doctor or a lawyer -- more school isn't the answer. Figuring out what you're good at and what you enjoy doing is. 

7. Tina Fey

There will always be assholes in the workplace, which is why Tina Fey's quote is so important. You don't want jerks to get away with holding you back, but you also don't want them to make you miserable. What a quandary, right? 

Fey's suggestion? Ignore them and reallocate all that pent up energy you would've spent hating them to positive energy you use to outperform them. 

8. Desmond Tutu

If you're neutral in situation of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.

At work, you'll inevitably notice a lot of "yes men." Yes men just do as they're told. They don't ruffle feathers. And they never speak up -- even when they know something a superior is doing is wrong and hurting the business. 

Please don't ever be one of these people, who either doesn't speak up or doesn't support someone who does speak up, when you know they're actually right. 

Why? I want a steady paycheck you say, and so you'd rather not tell your boss he's wrong. I get it. I do. But there's safety in numbers. If you know something is wrong, speak up and/or stand up for the people who aren't afraid to speak up. Your voice can make a difference. 

9. Dharmesh Shah

Success is making the people who believed in you look brilliant.

There are going to be people who believe in you and those who won't. When you find a mentor or a boss or even a friend -- anyone who believes for you, sticks up for you, gives you a job or a reference when you're inexperienced -- TLDR: Don't make them regret it. They took a chance on you, so you owe them your everything to be a success.

10. Ray Allen

Don’t ever put yourself in the position to wish you could hop in a time machine.

Ray Allen really moved me in his " Letter to My Younger Self ." His father was in the military because they moved a lot, and the kids made fun of him because he "talked like a white boy." 

At the time, he felt pretty alone, so he focused all of his energy into basketball. Still to this day, he pretty much is alone, he admits. But, today, he's at peace with his life and happy. 

When you're younger, life is all about fitting in, but when you're older, life is all about standing out. Standing out is how you land jobs, how you get paid more and how you make it to the top. So don't steer away from standing out. Embrace it.

11. Ira Glass

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”

I remember my first eBook, my first email campaign, and my first blog post, unfortunately. It's unfortunate because they all sucked. But here I am seven years later successfully doing these things without wanting to cry every time I do. 

You have to be persistent. Great athletes don't become great players overnight. They persist. They keep going back to the court or the field. You know why? Because they love what they do.

Find something you love to do, and then don't stop doing it. Keep practicing.

12. Tim Cook

You don't have to choose between doing good and doing well.

I wasted two years of my life pursuing business school, regardless of the fact that I sucked (and despised) at math. Business classes were all math all the time, and it made me delay doing my passion -- writing.

One day, I remember calling my father crying. I told him I couldn't take it anymore. I needed to study something I was good at -- writing. I was told him I thought I wanted to apply to journalism school. I'll never forget what he said to me:

"Lauren, do what you love, and the money will follow." 

Don't tell him I said this... But he was right. 

How many of you enrolled in a major that you're not good at or don't enjoy? Just stop. Take a moment to figure out where you are excelling in life, and think about giving that an honest try. You can and should make money doing what you love because then you will do great work.

13. Dr. Seuss

You have to be odd to be No. 1.

This quote pretty much speaks for itself. (And Dr. Seuss was never a man of many words) 

14. Steve Jobs

I saved the best for last: Steve Jobs . 

"I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle."

Don’t settle, but also, don’t take Jobs’ quote the wrong way. It takes time to find the perfect career if there is such a thing. You have to take on less exciting gigs before you make it to Oz. If you don’t then you may never get there.

Keep testing different career paths and skill sets by freelancing. Apply to jobs for interview experience, but if it’s a job you won’t be happy at, or don’t feel right about (assuming you’re making money freelancing), then don’t accept the offer — even if it is for more money.

Don’t settle for a full-time job you hate. Hack freelancing until you know what it is that you want out of a career, which may not turn out to be an actual full-time, in-office gig.

18. find an enemy.

Try to live everyday like Elle Woods after Warner told her she wasn't smart enough for law school.

For the weirdos who haven't seen Legally Blonde (and you should), Elle Woods applies (and gets into) Harvard after her ex-boyfriend, Warner, breaks up with her. 

What Elle didn't know was that Warner had dumped her for a new, "more serious" girlfriend. Just when she was about to pack up and move home, devastated, she got mad.

By the end of the movie, she had won her first real law case and graduated as valedictorian of her class. 

Yes, this is a movie, but it also has a little nugget of wise advice in it: Find an enemy .

That's what DJ Khaled does anyways. And as it turns out, so do a lot of successful people . 

19. Swag < Gas

Want to know a funny thing about rich people?

You'd never know they're rich unless you were close to them. That's because rich people don't typically buy fancy cars -- if they even own a car. They don't make it rain on everyone in the club. They work. And they work a lot. And they save a lot -- that is, after all, how they got rich in the first place.

If you have massive dreams -- like to own a football team someday -- you have to plan and save for that far, far in advance. In the words of Gary Vaynerchuk : 

Nobody -- unless they were a trust fund baby -- ever bought the Rams when they go skiing for a week when they're 24.

Motivational quotes about work

20. you can fail at anything.

Some of you may be choosing a career you're not excited about -- in fact, a lot of you may be. Whether you're trying to please your parents or trying to keep a steady paycheck, remember that nothing in life is guaranteed.

You can work at the same job for 49 years, and one day, they could just fire you; give you one week of severance pay, and send you on your way. They may not even want to. Maybe the company got acquired or the company is not making enough money and needs to cut staff. 

In life, you just never really know so take a logical chance on something you actually enjoy doing.

21. Accomplish something

22. Hustle, hustle real hard

"If you can work 40 hours a week and be satisfied with what you have, more power to you. I definitely plan to work less than 40 hours a week during retirement. However, if you are complaining about life and why you don’t have enough money and only work 40 hours a week, you need to get your head checked. We live in a very competitive society and anybody who wants to be better than average can’t work 40 hours and expect to be more than they’re not."

Do people really only work 40 hours per week or less ? That's a question that sends Financial Samurai into a rant that I can't help but agree with. 

It's a great article. Read it .

23. Do a good job

24. Your shoes don't matter

25. Don't be normal

"Most importantly, if you can at all avoid it, don't be normal. Strive, burn and do everything you can to avoid being the industry standard. Even the highest industry standard. Be greater than anything anyone else has ever dreamed of you. Don't settle for pats on the back, salary increases, a nod-and-a-smile. Instead, rage against the tepidness of the mundane with every fiber of whatever makes you, you. Change this place ."

26. Mediocre - meh

You did not wake up to mediocre.

27. You have the power to do more

I urge each and every one of you to seek out projects that leave the world a better place than you found it. We used to design ways to get to the moon; now we design ways to never have to get out of bed. You have the power to change that.

Motivational quotes about success

Profit is the reward for correctly understanding an aspect of reality ahead of your peers.

29. Understand the Law of Averages

The odds are never going to be in your favor, but if you keep playing you’re gonna win.

30. Consistency is key

No matter which career you choose, in today's overly competitive market, you have to be a serial learner. Serial learners are naturally curious. They're great at Google. And they find blogs and influencers to follow and read on the reg. 

31. Rejection is good

32. Know what you want

There is one quality that one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.

33. Build your own solution

Never bring your boss -- or anyone for that matter -- a problem without a potential solution. People will think you're a Negative Nancy and only see problems in things. Always offer a solution(s). 

Take Uber CEO Travis Kalanick , for example. He didn't just hate taxi cabs and complain about it. He went out and designed his own solution. 

34. Practice

35. Persist

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

Just because you have a college education does not make you entitled to success. You must have grit, persistance and determination.  

36. Don't give up

This quote actually reminds me of a quote by Will Smith:

"The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill. I will not be out-worked, period. You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things you got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there's two things: You're getting off first, or I'm going to die. It's really that simple, right?"

It really is that simple. The harder you hustle, the more you win, and the more you win, the more you get. 

Motivational quotes about life

You must learn how to learn. No one trains people anymore. You have to figure stuff out on your own. You want to be "problem solver." Bosses love problem solvers because they find solutions to their problems without bothering their bosses every two seconds. 

Be proactive. Figure out what your boss needs to get done, then get it done... right. This isn't as difficult as it may seem. Just get really good at Googling, and make friends with a lot of people smarter than you. 

38. Don't be vanilla

The world wants you to be vanilla.

39. You are who you're around

"The most frequent life advice I give people is, be really careful who your friends are. Your friends should be better than you. Your friends should take you to new levels. A lot of people will just hang out with the same friends, and they don’t see that their friends are pulling them down. My mother used to tell me if you hang around with dogs, you become a dog. You’ve got to know when to find new friends."

For a long time, I tried to fit in with the wrong people -- "the cool kids." Today, those cool kids are still where they were in high school. They don't have careers. They're still waitressing. They're still partying until four in the morning. 

If I kept hanging around with them, I'd be where they are -- nowhere. 

So, yeah, choose your friends wisely. 

40. Anything is possible

41. You have power

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.

The most common example of this mistake is job interviews.

When you walk into a job interview, remember the interview is a two-way conversation. You need to make sure they're also a good fit for you. 

I won't go into the intricacies of negotiation, but you definitely should learn more about it here and  here . 

42. Your twenties are the defining decade

Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do.

“Our twenties are the defining decade of adulthood. Eighty percent of life’s most defining moments take place by about age 35. Two-thirds of lifetime wage growth happens during the first ten years of a career. More than half of Americans are married or are dating or living with their future partner by age 30. Personality can change more during our twenties than at any other decade in life. Female fertility peaks at 28. The brain caps off its last major growth spurt. When it comes to adult development, 30 is not the new 20. Even if you do nothing, not making choices is a choice all the same. Don’t be defined by what you didn’t know or didn’t do.”

The above is no one's opinion. It is cold, hard facts.

Your twenties set the stage for the rest of your life. How well you do in your twenties is directly correlated to how well you'll do in your thirties and forties. If you don't take them seriously, you will wake up one day, and regret it.

Consider skipping that third Spring Weekend in a row, and consider taking on an internship or working as a volunteer. Whatever you do, don't forget to gain identity capital, aka professional work experience. 

Sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.

It's hard to trust that everything happens for a reason when you don't get something you worked really hard for or wanted really badly. I know this because I haven't gotten a lot of things I've wanted in life. But as it turned out, things always worked out perfectly -- usually even better.

44. Don't settle

It's death to settle for things in life.

45. Change your life

Nobody owes you anything. Remember that, and you'll be golden. 

46. Make good decisions

The quality of our lives depends on the quality of the decisions we make. We literally make millions of decisions that add up to the consequences that are our lives.

47. Your life is up to you

If you want better, go get better.

48. Love > Like

“Like is watered-down love. Like is mediocre. Like is a wishy-washy emotion of the content. Athletes don’t do it for the like of the sport. Artists don’t suffer for the like of art. There is no “I like NY shirt,” and Romeo didn’t just like Juliet. LOVE. Now that’s the powerful stuff. Love changes things -- upset things -- conquers things. Love is at the root of everything good that has ever happened and will ever happen.”

49. No = good

50. Turn bad into good

Take your broken heart, and make it into art.

Life is going to break your heart nine ways to Sunday. Don't let it break you though. Mope for a day, or even just an hour, and then drop all of your emotions into something productive.

Whether that's writing or learning Excel, it doesn't matter. Just find something to distract yourself from your broken heart. It works. 

51. Just keep swimming

How bad do you want to be successful?

I'll leave you with this motivational video. I hope it motivates you as much as it motivates me. Good luck!

101 Study Quotes To Motivate Your Schoolwork

Motivational Quotes to Study

Motivational quotes about studying hard, inspirational quotes for students, motivational quotes for students.

Students aren't always motivated to do their best at school and projects related to school, so sometimes you need motivation.

Whether it’s their presence while attending lectures at school or doing schoolwork later at home, students need to be motivated and inspired to give their best at all times.

School children are sometimes distracted by all that is happening in their lives and all that is expected of them. Be it family, sports, and other extra circular activities or peer pressure, they sometimes feel that they are always balancing many things at the same time.

This constant juggling may make them feel disinterested and lost when it comes to their primary work: studies and all the activities of their interests. Helping them divide their days into slots for specific activities may help them excel in these.

But along with that, continually motivating them by spending quality time with them to understand their needs is also essential. Students need to focus on the positive side of life, and parents and caregivers can help them achieve this by leading as an example for them.

Like reading bible study quotes for students and also quotes about study abroad and college quotes will help immensely.

If you like this article, you may also look at quotes about study abroad and college quotes for that extra nudge.  

School kids are at the most impressionable age of their lives. What we say or do will have a lasting impact on them, and hence, we must be very careful with regards to how we shape these future adults with care and love.

These motivational quotes for students can help motivate them to do their schoolwork and work hard which will help significantly in motivating to study hard.

Funny Homework Quotes to Tickle Your Funny Bone

We know how kids, in general, feel about homework. While there has been a lot of debate about whether homework is necessary for kids, especially for elementary students, the fact remains that many teachers prefer giving homework. Students are expected to complete and submit their work for assessment. 

Often kids consider homework as a burden that robs them of their free time. Consequently, they tend to lose interest in it. As quotes have the power to alleviate mood and change perspective, we can use them to handle thoughts about homework too! We have already covered funny quotes on topics such as geometry , math , and grammar . This time around, we are happy to share fun quotes on homework. 

Although inspiring quotes can encourage positive thoughts, funny quotes make the topic light. By bringing a smile to students’ faces, funny quotes can lighten up their moods and help create a positive mindset toward homework.

Let’s share some smiles with funny homework quotes

We may have shared witty and funny quotes about homework, but that does not mean we consider homework unimportant. There are quite a few good reasons why homework has been an integral part of a student’s life for years. Do you want to know how doing regular homework can benefit you in the long run? Let’s see. 

1. It instills discipline and encourages students to plan their day, do their assignments, and stay organized.

2. Homework improves time management skills. As homework comes with a deadline and every day has a different workload, students have to level up their time management game to stay on track and keep their deliverables ready on time. 

3. Repeating concepts several times helps in increasing a student’s understanding of the subject. This makes the topic easier to comprehend, which stays in memory for a long duration.

4. Doing assignments in class is quite different from doing them at home. At school, guidance is readily available. But homework encourages students to problem-solve and work independently. 

5. Homework prepares students to do things even if they don’t want to. Adulthood brings several instances when you have to do certain things without having the willingness to do them. Students get to learn this life lesson through homework.

6. Homework teaches students to become responsible for their learning. Failing to take responsibility well often results in poor grades in class assessments.  

7. It provides an opportunity for parents to be actively involved in their child’s education and know what they are learning in class and where they stand in terms of understanding the subject matter. 

8. Homework also allows teachers to assess how well students have understood a topic and gives them an idea about which areas must be discussed further in class to develop clarity in the minds of the students. 

Wrapping up,

Homework may not bring a smile to a student’s face. But that doesn’t make it less important. We all know “Laughter is the best medicine” in stressful times.
