Q: I am an arts student. After doing my post graduation, I joined MBA. But I can't get the subject easily. I tried very hard to study the subjects, but all in vain. I am very disturbed as all my classmates get the subject easily. Is my brain weak? What should I do? I take tuitions as well but I am not able to understand the statistics and operation reacher, which is like maths. Due to this I got a compartment in the subject. What should I do? Suicidal thoughts come to my mind as I have paid Rs. 1.5 lakh as fees.

A:Weak brain is a myth, its only the style of reading, the ability and confidence in academics, and the effort ones out in it is what matters. You need to discuss your academic problems with your teachers, and take help. Also talk to a psychiatrist and work on confidence, concentration and study skills. Look forward with hope in life, and have a problem solving approach.
