HAVING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE IS WHAT REALLY MATTERS:
Your attitude is what decides the effectiveness of your learning process. If you possess a negative attitude and keep saying that you can’t do it, then it would not help you in learning. A negative approach will make things difficult. The moment you start thinking positively, your brain will work at its creative best.
