Why do we find some things hard to learn?
It's because we lack intelligence/knowledge, good material, time, patience, understanding?
Please no short answers!

Almost nothing is really hard to learn. Rather, it is always the application of knowledge we will inevitably stumble upon. Here, it is the exposure to a variety of things that we need, our ability to link up the concepts of how things work that will make things seem easier to us. At the very least, that is what the subconscious mind tells us...
Obviously, an individual's attitude towards the thing he learns does play a part in influencing his thoughts on how hard (or easy) that thing is. Often, people tend to have the "I give up" mentality if they face something very difficult. Okay, unless that person is "conditioned", i.e. he grows up being trained to live in world of adversities and thus used to the harsh reality.
Henceforth, the way to overcome this problem is to tackle the issue at a different angle. Try doing it the way you like to do for another subject you like. Afterall, the days of darkness will eventually be over, and when you look back, you will see the light.

some things are hard to learn when you have no previous base of knowledge to build on..... like for me, botany, zoology, biology, chemistry,medicine, etc all have been relatively simple for me , since I have a deep love of things natural.... put me in a calculus class and I'm totally out of my element.... it's not lack of intelligence, because my IQ is right up there with the better class, wouldn't mean a thing what 'good material' was presented, it would still be Greek to me... the teacher could be the most patient person in town and I'd still have him/her in tatters by the third session... understanding?... don't have any, so that's out.... I have to be able to correlate this with that and things like 'heavy math' just don't go with my daily life.... I don't need it or use it, so it's alien to me.....
occasionally, there's a surprise, tho.... I"m a grandma and I really didn't think the computer was 'for me'... but for some reason, it has come naturally to me... possibly because my son fully explained it's inner workings to me, from binary code on down... it's logical, so it makes sense, somehow... I've learned much about even tho it's in no way connected to the 'things natural' that I usually love to learn about... however... it does manage to carry me to where I can learn and talk ABOUT things natural... that must have helped me a bit.....

Personally, I believe that it could be inborn. Some people are just naturally better than others at learning particular skills. No man is born equal.
