I don't have drive/willpower/dedication whatever. I'm somewhat lazy. I am honest with myself so I know not to set unrealistic goals that would require studying or applying myself to a task. I do reach my goals though. How? I come up with a project that teaches me what I need to know. It "pulls me in" and makes learning the stuff I need to know fun. I call it "pull" vs "push". Another way to think of it is: Would you rather push yourself to hit the books to learn French or live in France for a few months and pick it up? (You'd have to study for both but the 2nd way would be more fun and effective.)
