Everyone undergoes painfull situations, has difficult times that feel like they are never passing. You can take the easy way, by backing out of the challenge. Or you can fight the controversy and continue on your route to greatness.
Take a look at people who have achieved great things like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Brian Shaw or Dwayne Johnson. They are the strongest persons in the world and not just on a physical level. All of them have spent countless hours on learning how to workout and to become the best version of themselves. They haven’t just spent hours going though the movements, they have focussed all of their energy to go through the movements perfectly.
Have patience all things are difficult before they become easy. – Saadi
Find new things to learn to develop yourself. By choosing something to practice make sure to not make things easy on yourself. A great example of this is when you want to learn about something new. Attempt to do so in your second language. This way you will learn the subject and at the same time learn how you can talk about it in a different language.
The same thing goes for following a subject at university. Try to understand everything and do your best at exam. If your result of your exam isn’t satisfying don’t give up. Things will become easier in time. Use your time wisely to understand the subject rather than learning it by heart. Don’t give up on the subject, neither give up on your entire academic education. Keep going to reach the highest possible result.
