Motivation to study

I'm a college student aiming to become a nurse. Recently, I haven't really been motivated to study.
Everyone around me is studying so hard, and even though I know I have to study, I haven't been able to get started. I don't have one until now, but recently I look at my friends who are studying so hard with a cold eye.

I entered an integrated middle and high school, didn't experience high school entrance exams, and passed the university on recommendation, so I feel like I've lived a happy life until now. If I continue on the easy path, I'm worried about whether I can overcome it even though there is a national exam to become a nurse in the future. People around me will think that they are “licking and spoiling” me like this. How can I switch my mind and work hard? First of all, what does “work hard” mean?
How do you switch your mind when you're stuck?

I'm sorry for the long time. Any advice would be appreciated.

We have prepared 2 patterns.

I wonder if it makes sense to do this.
There are things I want to do now that I'm young...
I wonder if I have to go that far and study as a nurse.

Aren't those thoughts going through your head?

I think there will be many things to study even after leaving the field.
Necessary knowledge will also come out at the site for each assigned medical subject,
There are probably specialties according to age, such as pediatrics and nursing, etc.
There may be times when you feel uneasy about whether your studies are over.

If it's a job, by deepening specialized learning,
Every industry wants to maintain quality at the level of receiving money.

Studying
It doesn't mean you shouldn't do it if it doesn't make sense.

or...

Say things in a nutshell!!
When can I watch Aisu's Seriousness!
Why don't you show me your serious studies at least once!
it's a job where lives are at stake!
You're spending your time half-hearted!
I'll forget that there are patients somewhere in the world waiting for their greetings to become a full person!

It's like,
Wouldn't it have been better to drink it?
It would have been nice to be able to use large letters, etc.
Have your thoughts been conveyed?

Either way, it's an industry where learning for yourself works for someone else.
Also, there are many people who make good use of work and time off.
Please do your best. I'm cheering behind my back.

I feel like things have come into view.

 Hello. “I've lived a happy life,” that raised the question, didn't it? sharp!
Perhaps this country began in the post-war meta-meta-meta-era, and “what is the value of human beings?” On the other hand, I think they came here with “being able to live happily” as a tentative answer.
I think that's probably because the country was invaded, occupied, and so many forces were imposed on it, such as evaluations and temptations from around the world.
There was nothing anyway. I was poor. So I got the money and got the stuff. I think that was certainly happiness, “from the point of view of that time.” In the first place, living things were not prepared for very rapid environmental changes (evolution is probably in millions of years), yet there were drastic changes. I feel that it is probably because we have gone through this “reckless” era of suffering, incidents, anxiety, and dissatisfaction that are occurring in the present day.
Then, it was revealed that “after all, this was just a hypothesis,” and I think Buddhism is attracting attention once again now. After all, the starting point was “There is suffering in this world. That's because “suffering is something that doesn't go the way you want it to.”
If you don't accept this, you probably can't. You can study while thinking, “Oh, that's painful, I don't like it.” There are always people who say, “That doesn't make sense,” but it's a time when the conditions have been narrowed down quite a bit, and “there's no point in studying hard.”
“What does it mean to work hard?” I don't really care about the meaning or definition of words. It's interesting if you follow that and become a language expert, but it's not really worth pursuing as an everyday conversation or everyday thought. It's just a way to kill time. I wonder if it's about “I can continue, I can continue even if I don't like it,” as the meaning content.
I just came up with an odd example about studying!
I wonder if it's like wiping your butt after you've finished washing your bathroom. Maybe I'm doing it while thinking “I don't like it.” In the case of young children, there are children who have made it a habit to have their parents wipe them, and they rarely come to kindergarten and ask, “I don't like it and can't wipe it myself, so please do the teacher”... that's right.
Did you think, “Understanding is necessary for living, but studying isn't”? Those are your values. your story. your rules. “I study as if I were going to the bathroom,” “I read books as if I were going to the bathroom,” “I discover something every day as if I were going to the bathroom”... yeah, that's great.

There are people who need your learning.

My name is Kameyama Junshi.
Why study? And who do you study for?
My high school teacher at Rinsha (Ethical Society) (although my teacher was a Christian) said, “Studying is for people. I don't know which of what you guys are learning right now and when it will be useful for others. That's why I'm studying in order to learn a lot now and become a useful person in the future. The idea that you're studying for yourself is an arrogant idea.” I was saying that. At the time, I thought, “Isn't studying something I do for my own growth?” I thought that teacher's statement was extremely difficult to understand. The same was true for friends around me, and I don't think anyone was able to sympathize with what the teacher said.
Nearly 20 years have passed since then, and through the death of Nakamura Hajime, a world-famous Buddhist scholar, I felt like I understood the meaning of my teacher's words at the time. Mr. Nakamura was a person who devoted himself to academics until just before his death. I thought it wasn't for myself anymore, and that it wasn't a task to create a human heritage that should be passed on to future generations. There is “self-interest, immediate benefit, etc.” in Buddhist teachings. Benefiting yourself must lead to benefiting others.
So what should I do to make myself feel like studying? Studying is not about struggling within the narrow shell of oneself; it is about having the feeling that one's learning will necessarily lead to something that makes others happy in the future, or that there will always be people who need your learning. I think that's the first step in trying to study.
These are my answers.

Being a nurse is an amazing job.

I have a sister in law who is a nurse.
It's a really hard job,
More than that, it's a job worth doing.
My daughter too
I'm aiming to become a nurse after my sister-in-law.

You've come a little too far as being a nurse.
That became a reality,
Maybe I flinched a little bit.
