The fictional character Rory Gilmore from the television series “Gilmore Girls” is a role model for many women and girls.
What is it about her that makes her such a source of inspiration in the realms of studying and determination?
Let’s explore!
The Inspiration to Learn – Ways to Cultivate and Enhance it
Rory LOVES reading! She lost it one time because she had “only” read 300 books by the time she was 15.
So, how can you develop and improve your motivation for reading and studying the way Rory has? Here are some helpful hints and tips:
Focused reading instead of Fast Reading
To truly grasp what you’re reading, it’s all about focussing on the quality instead of just the quantity.
There’s nothing wrong with reading a lot of books every month, taking part in challenges, and other fun things.
But sometimes people start collecting books just to reach their goals, and when you ask them to repeat what they’ve read, they have no idea.
Time Management
It is important to schedule time for reading and learning.
To train consistency, make it a daily routine.
For instance, read a book for at least 20 minutes before bed, or bring a book with you and read a page or two each day while you wait for the bus or tram.
Everybody has time to read and study; it only depends on their priorities and time management skills.
Even with the most hectic schedules, the smartest people on the planet manage to read a book or two per week, and you can too.
Establish Small, Reachable Goals
Small goals are preferable to huge ones since they may be accomplished more quickly and provide a tremendous lift each time you cross the finish line, preparing you for the next push towards your next small goal.
By achieving several small goals, you will eventually reach your big goal, without overwhelming you or making you want to give up.

Rory’s Motivation for Studying & Reading
Obviously, we are unable to ask her directly why she does things the way she does, but I have developed these ideas by watching her in all of the seasons and reading multiple sources that analyse her personality.
A Genuine Love for Learning
Reading and learning are something that Rory is truly passionate about.
She finds it enjoyable to acquire knowledge that others lack, and she derives pleasure from the process of maturing through literature.
Rory Wants To Make Her Family Proud
Rory is aware of the difficulties her mother has faced and continues to face in raising her as a single mother.
She has witnessed the sacrifices made by those she loves, and she wants to make her family proud by doing her best and learning new things every day.
Goals & Ambition
Rory had aspirations of attending Harvard from an early age.
She always knew exactly where she wanted to be in her latter years.
This isn’t the point, whether or not she ultimately succeeded.
Nobody can ever take away your education and accomplishments.
Even if someone takes everything you own, sets your house on fire, and you end up in jail by accident, your knowledge will always be yours. Nobody can ever take the mind away from you, no matter what.
Setting goals and having the drive to reach them can provide you with a lot of motivation to keep going. In any case, the days will go by.
Would you rather spend them brainlessly browsing social media or learning new things?
