Aligning your dreams, desires and passions is vitally important for success. The minute you find something you LOVE to do, it gets easy, effortless and fun! That being said, let me be crystal clear - we sometimes have to study subjects we don't like. For example, I wanted to be an engineer and I had to take chemistry in college and I hated it, but I had to pass it to get INTO engineering. Once in engineering school, I had to take several subjects I hated - including thermodynamics which I hated even more than chemistry! The point is that the educational system teaches us HOW TO LEARN. Sometimes that includes stuff we're not interested in. That is not unlike a job. You will have to do things you don't enjoy and you will need to LEARN how to do them. That's life. The sooner you learn how to learn QUICKLY, the faster you can move on to doing things you like and enjoy! That's why my accelerated learning strategies are so important to learn.

This assures me that I'm not the only one who thinks studying the subject that I hate the most (chemistry) which is a major subject is equivalent to dying. Every time I think about it, that I have to study, I start to grieve in the inside and I procrastinate all the time because I hate it! ...And the fact that all my classmates this summer are geniuses! I sit at the back looking at the teacher like I haven't taken chemistry before. They intimidate me. That's what worries me. The fact that they like solving problems and I'm not that kind of person. I'm more interested in writing or any arts course. But sadly, I'm enrolled in a science course. Wow!
