Motivation inside an Easter egg?

Lucas was very keen on getting all possible information related to the business entrepreneurship, but realized that not everyone was as keen on following the lessons. He started to note down the different behavioral habits of his co-students and questioned their motivations.

Here is a list of most common characteristics in his class:
  • speaking on the phone while "listening" - same claim that this is possible, maybe, but at least it is rude for others.
  • listening to music with one ear
  • reading a news paper/book while trying to follow
  • discussion with the person next to you - if on the topic, fine, but if not...
  • walking back and forth - normally this takes place in the end of the class room
  • sleeping participants
  • ....
This made him very sad, as although several efforts were done for the future of the students, those were not appreciated. Lucas started his Easter break by writing a letter to himself on how his own attitude, behavior and motivation influence on his future. Like an Easter egg- his future has several layers still to be revealed.
