A few reasons.
First: Enjoying
I get dopamine from learning new things. Basically, I’m having fun.
If you want to study a lot, you might want to enjoy it and have fun while learning new things.
Second: Guilt
I feel guilty when I’m not studying. I feel like I’m—excuse me, I hope I’m not being full of myself here—robbing myself of something—my future.
If you want to study a lot, you might need an emotional catalyst—something that pushes you, your emotions, and your heart to study.
Third: A Specific Reason
I have a long set of nice goals and dreams! And there are reasons for me to study—they’re my dreams: there is no way to achieve them without studying.
If you want to study a lot, you might need a reason to do so.
Fourth: Environment
Although not in real life, but rather in the Internet, I have surrounded myself with like-minded people: programmers, engineers, people interested in linguistics, etc.
Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are. If you’re in a room with 5 gentlemen doing 100 pushups every day, in the end, you will be doing them too.
If you want to study a lot, you might want to do it in an encouraging environment with people who are better than you and who are interested in the same things as you.
Might add more reasons in the future!
