what can i do to achieve more mental strength?

Question

i just wish i was smarter in school...

Answer 1

Three things:
- Read a lot, especially non fiction (which makes you exercise your thought processes). This is No 1 in importance. Don't be afraid to consult a dictionary - it's amazing how many words do not mean exactly what we think.
- Write a lot; letters to your friends, essays; keep a diary (these exercises sharpen up your vocabulary and your logical processes). Use a thesaurus, to help express your thoughts. Computers make it so easy to write essays, record your thoughts, etc; but don't disregard the simple pen and paper.
- Practice a lot - especially with mathematice, and other exercises , such as puzzles and crosswords (these sharpen up your mental agility).

Answer 2

Knowledge will come along once you put more concentrated time into studying, even when you don't have a test. I know this is just a simple answer but it is the best I can think of at the moment. Whatever your "sore" subject/s are you need to practice- like in math practice several different problems, maybe if you don't do well studying on your own get someone (that makes good grades preferably) to study with you.

Answer 3

Everyone wishes that. Hard work is the only answer I know. Study! Study! Study! It's tough to stay committed.

Answer 4

Exercise the body and read more. It's very simple, people are designed to function with as many choices as we have in our society. Keeping it simple will help you overcome many of the stresses that you feel.

Answer 5
