Sometime Back I asked myself what is Life?
I was answered by a corner of my mind. It reads
❤ "Life is Giving your Best ❤
❤ In what you Love ❤
❤ Even If it Fails ❤
❤ Don't Fear to Get Up." ❤
There's an Saying from a Chinese Military General Sun Tzu If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
Well Most of us are Studying, And Trust me when I say that sometimes its really really tough, Sometimes it Just Goes over your head and you just wanna QUIT IT! Like I Have Had Enough of your BEEEP (CENSORED lol)
So here I came out with this crazy plan to ask you each and every one of you, Two Questions?
(Don't worry No-matter how old you are. You'll be able to answer cause I know that you have gone through phases sometime in your life. Dude its Normal!)
So I say to you, lets #FACEIT! Today here #RightNow!
Questions
>What is that Number 1 Problem YOU face when you are studying?(Mine Being Distraction)
>What is that Number 1 Fear YOU Have when the word study comes in your head?(Fear that I will end up doing nothing)
Ask yourself and when you get that RAW answer Post it out Here.
And as a Community we will face it.

Other than distraction is the fear that I couldn't finish the things I need to study. Well,my fault for leaving everything to the last minute.
PROB: OVERSTUDYING material and cramming
FEAR: Not demosntrating my compelte knowledge or understanding fully; the societal expectation to do well; my personal expectation to do extremely well.
You literally just perfectly described my situation in a very simple way.
Then the fear makes you procrastinate and the problem gets bigger, which then increases the fear, and it's just a damn loop.
1. My depression makes it difficult to concentrate, which makes me anxious and the process loops itself.
2. Failure. I fear I won't live up to the expectations of my family and friends.
@Celaeno I feel the same.
@Sokeri, good to know we're not alone in these feelings. I hope you're doing good in your classes. All the best!
Just got my results few days back and thank god i passed all the papers. But the stress was so burdening. I should really figure out my study method and focus early on from the start of the school year. Thus eliminating the probability of being fearful that I cannot finish my syllabus as I have mentioned in the earlier post.
well done wind!!!:D
- Fear of being a non-successive person
- Constatly thinking that other are better than me , just because they have better grades.
Hi @Marlinda You are as good as anyone, please believe me. I know sometimes it feels that others are ahead of you but just because they have higher grades does not mean they are better! You can be as successful as anyone else, only you can do this, for yourself! Be kind to yourself

Hey @Lucy2
Thanks for your kind words. Recently I have been thinking this way and is helping me . :)
I just wanted to share a sentence that I have been repeating back to myself to make school stress a little easier:
You are more than the sum of your performances.
You are not your grades, your results, your test scores. You are a mind and a soul and a body, a completely unique set of atoms. You are not defined by how you do in exams.
You are more than the sum of your performances.
That is all.
(I'm not an English native and I translated the sentence, so I don't know if "performances" is exactly right here. It seemed to fit very well, and I hope you get my point.)
It's a great sentence, @malreynolds, thank you for sharing it.
I often forget about this little truth, and I'm very grateful for this kind reminder ^^
Best wishes!
Hi there @malreynolds Thanks so much for sharing. This is brilliant! Every student should have this written out, so that they can read it every time they doubt themselves or better still, read it everyday before starting studies. 
Always here

Problem :
Always need other person that has same thinking too. Not sure did i get it right or mistaken, feel dumb for not understanding.
When i heard study word leads me to a thinking : its formal, consciously, nerve, tense, afraid of wrong and scolds for own argument
Its like I want to study but i just cant. No matter how much I'm reading through materials, no matter how much i'm re-reading materials. I feel very stuck. And the fact that I want to and I cant no matter how much i'm trying just gets me scared even more and I lose my shit and get terrible mood swings where I could bash some ones head against a wall. x-x
I am basically not interested in anything which makes it very hard for me to focus on school work. instead I get a bad feeling and start feeling anxious bc I know I have to do it, I know I am already late to hand in and I still dont do it. I honestly dont know how to solve it, I have such a negative persoective in everything, nothing motivates me, grades dont motivate me, sure I get happy like some minute when I do get a good grade but thats it. I feel so hopeless ugh...
