Self-Learning Strategies

Independence is always a key component to self-learning and a way to become a protagonist. Once something becomes a problem, it is in our mind that we must fix the issue before it becomes even more of an issue. We must learn to overcome any obstacles that may arise when it comes to learning because it is necessary to overcome obstacles in our life as well. If it is hard to deal with stress, then it is most likely going to be hard to be motivated and complacency may settle in as it becomes easy to get lazy and not do your work.

Life would have no meaning if it was perfect because there would be nothing to get done and there would be no stress. This is you pushing yourself to get things done because you know they are realistic.
