How to cope with the installation of "I fail" and be able to

When we begin to learn something new - a foreign language, a new technology, a new profession - often at some point I want to drop everything and say, "I could not, it's not mine." Someone overcomes this line and goes on, and someone really retreats and throws begun. How to cope with such thoughts, if you really want to learn something, but does not work with a swoop? Standard advice is to remain optimistic and believe in yourself. Only he is unlikely someone really helped. Let's try a little deeper into the subject and lead tips are more specific and effective.

Try to turn to other sources / textbooks

If you spend hours intensively shtudiruete any textbook (manual, guide) and understand that do not understand anything - it does not mean that you are a fool. And it does not mean that the textbook is bad. It means only that this particular guide is you just do not fit. Maybe it is too difficult to write, or poorly translated, or, conversely, too figurative and abstract approach to the problem. Can be described technique involves a more advanced level of expertise in this area than your current one. In any case, try to close this tutorial and find another source. Open the good old Google (or another favorite search engine) and search for video, pictures, notes, blogs and forums devoted to your subject. Perhaps some good people have already figured out that what is not possible to understand you, and shared it. Get the scoop on digital libraries and large portals, search - and you will find "their" author, who will be able to explain everything exactly as it should.

Learn to make or break time

New information can not absorb one endless stream. Sooner or later the overload. And then just start decadent mood and thoughts in the spirit of "it's not for me." Do not force your brain, do not provoke him on defense reaction. Take a break, but qualitative: go for a walk, refocus on some other action, completely unrelated to your studies. This break should be done at least once every 90 minutes. Information must be both "ustakanilos" in the head, to move from short-term memory more deeply and settle there.

If you get stuck at a certain stage of training, and a little break does not help - go to bed. Why beginners so often find unexpected, creative solutions in difficult situations? Because they are not open-minded too much theory and are able to look at the problem from an unexpected quarter. Reconsider its approach to the problem and you. Sleep with it, consider it from different points of view, even with the most idiotic. Stop and start the assault siege. The siege may last for a long time, not overnight, not one day, but if your motivation is really strong - you're sure to find an alternative way out and successfully continue their education.

Learn from your mistakes

Do you know their weaknesses, know what stage of training is given to you it is usually the most difficult. Remember the experiences that have already had, learning something new. Think about your typical mistakes and miscalculations. Look to the current task. Analyze. You maybe do not get to go on simply because you made a mistake somewhere in the previous steps? Maybe you missed some key point in the beginning, and now the whole construction totters because of one brick in the foundation? In itself, the awareness mistakes will not help to learn a new skill. But it is necessary to move forward and continue to be successful.

Try to complete something less massive than your current task

To give yourself the confidence to overcome the crisis and, best of all - to successfully repeat what you already know. Set a more modest task. Follow it. You will see a concrete result of their labors, which is always encouraging. Now you have something to object to the inner voice that whispers, "you can not." Now, I could also do it. And new too I learn and will do just as easily.

Continue beating at one point

As you know, practice makes perfect. Nevertheless, the constant mechanical repetition and memorization of passive - it is a bad practice. Try to take to ensure that you do with the soul. Find a creative spark in daily exercise, make them element of the game or sport, make up a "flavor", which will give your practical training special meaning.

Of course, everything described above does not purport to be complete. But these tips, albeit adapted to the process of translation, based on the author's personal experience, they really helped him, perhaps, and help somebody else. Remember: the darkest hour before the dawn. If you lose heart and want to drop everything - perhaps it is the last line on the road to success. Maybe tomorrow you could finally take a big step forward, if today is not said to yourself "I fail" and did not believe in it.
