FE Special
NAPOLEON used to keep his courage alive even at the point of life and death during war. He never was at a loss what to do. He said, "I never was puzzled and so I could easily dominate others in the society."
To whatever extent the text seems to be difficult, never get panicked. Rather proceed slowly and with perseverance. Remember that what is difficult to you is also difficult to others. Start reading anything with boldness and you will see that understanding and grasping any text has been easier for you.
When you will have confidence in mind, you will feel like reading every chapter of the book. When you will skip no chapter of a text book, you will be more confident about a course.
Confidence helps you develop love for studies. When you have this mental power, you are no more afraid about any subject, you are more likely to read all the subjects regularly. It becomes easier for you to develop a good study habit.
Confidence helps remove procrastination in studies. A student without confidence keeps studying a subject month after month. That makes him or her more afraid about studies.
So whatever text you are supposed to study, do not be afraid. Keep your mind strong all the time. In case you are not confident, pretend like you are confident. This pretension will help you to be bold and effective about studying a text.
While you start reading a text, always say in your mind "I will understand this easily" or "I can do this". It is most likely that you will understand the piece and you will develop confidence day by day which will be of numerous benefits to you in developing a healthy reading habit.
You may also think this way--the writers of the book are just human beings like yourself. If they could write such a book, why will you be lagging behind in understanding whatever they have tried to say? In fact, no book should be impossible to understand, some might take longer time, some might take shorter time.
