Motivation (Sandbox Version)
What can motivate us as students in a typical third world country?

As a developing country we usually want to see immediate visible results which give us a clear-cut road map. We want to know where it starts and where it ends. We think of tangible outcomes, even if they have temporary effect and will not survive a decade. These road maps don't really become part of our life. Therefore, whenever we leave a long-term project for some time, we just forget about it. Such a project might even be our study program or language course. Typically, as students we always think about instant certificates, visible rewards of our achievements, of our hard memorizing in order to pass the exams. We have never learned to be creative or self-learners.

So often the global community defines third world countries as "developing countries", pejoratively and ambiguously. The term doesn't refer to cultural or social inferiority. Development mainly denotes economic advancement. We have to think about the possibilities and chances to develop and motivate scientific research in the academic environment and higher education.
