First class degree from Oxford 16 months ago

It’s coming up to my third year and all the good intentions I had at the beginning of the summer have faded significantly. I’ve had today to reflect on what I really want from life, and it seems that this will help me in so many ways. Not only will it make my career choices that little bit easier (allowing me to consider postgraduate study seriously), getting a job will be easier to do. But most importantly, it’ll affect how I feel about myself.

I need to believe that I can set myself a difficult but achievable goal and actually reach it, and that I have the intelligence and determination to get what I want from life. It’s just a case of wanting it enough, and being willing to do what is necessary. I hope I have what it take :S

I think you have to completely immerse yourself in the knowledge that the sense of fulfillment you will have if you do succeed will completely outweigh the ‘what if’ question that may pop up in your head from time to time if you didn’t try your hardest. If you do what it takes and don’t succeed, sure it will be demoralising, but at least you know you tried your hardest.
