Mathematics is a unique subject. It needs great attention, higher level of understanding, sharp memory and concentration during learning or a study. Miss a lesson and it will torment you all the days of your live. You can be motivated by your environment and people who hang around with you.
However, they are people who can distract your concentration in mathematics. They will try to convince you that they are more intelligent than you, and if they are not successful in the subject, you will also definitely fail. Someone actions will also discourage you from following recommended path to be successful in the subject.
Let's briefly analyze them
1. Your Teacher
A teacher contributes at least 50% to your success in any subject. The remainder is attributed to hardworking, source of information, attitude towards the subject and exam skills. If a teacher discourage you and also claim you are going to fail the subject, it's highly likely you will fail the exam.
A teacher can simply avoid helping you, or letting you know the source of your errors. Many teachers selects students to concentrate with, and leave the rest to fail. Other teachers believe it's a waste of effort to coach slow learners and below average performers
2. Your Classmate/Schoolmate
Classmates or schoolmates who are challenged by any subject will try to incite others to also hate the subject. They will even statistically prove to you that many students from your school fail the subject and concentrating on it is just a worst of time. This can change your philosophy towards the subject and eventually result in a failure
3. Your Parent, Brother or Sister
When a child fails or succeeds in school, parents and family members try to justify it by now they performed in school. Others will even blame each other for the failure of their children. They believe intelligence is a genetical. You can be discouraged from mathematics through their beliefs and justifications.
4. A candidate next to you in an Exam
Actions of other candidates in an Exam room can affect your performance. At times, it's wise to ignore whatever is happening in an exam and concentrate on your work. Before e-marking was widely adopted, candidates used to write on sheets of paper. You would see others raising their hands for more answer sheets and submitting a booklet of answers, when you have just answered in only 3 or 5 sheets. Others would request graph paper but you haven't located questions that required a graph.
You can spoil your work by trying to expand what you have already written. Fresh minds have best answers. By trying to revise what have been answered by fresh minds when tired will only guarantee you failure.
5. Your FRIEND
Friendship is a result of something in common. True friends will try to match their characters and attitudes in everything. Even in the classroom, they will behave the same.if your friend hates the subject, you will eventually buy into it. Friends are greatest threats to our abilities.
