> Are there any ways by which I could motivate myself to study more?
Probably not, if you're asking the question. But I don't think you should study more. I think you should program more, since it's already something you enjoy enough to do for fun. It's a question of playing to your strengths.
Put in the 10,000 hours of sustained effort that it takes to truly become great at it. Prove your abilities through open source.
You will have no problem finding an interesting and well-paying career, if you push yourself hard to always keep learning both about programming and about the business of software.
If that sounds like a lot of hard work, well yeah, it is. There's no shortcut. Either suck it up and do your homework and color inside the lines, or summon the guts to blaze your own path. Or do neither and let the path of least resistance take you where it wants.
Which path are you more likely to regret 40 years from now?
