MENTAL TOUGHNESS
Mental toughness could simply be defined as an unyielding,a resilient and sturdy mindset that is resistance to failure or any form of demoralizing and demeaning thoughts or mental activities.
It is expedient that every learner must imbibe the act of being mentally tough.
This singular characteristic helps a learner understand that even if it appears that he is not comprehending while studying he must not give up or yield rather continue to push until a point when he starts comprehending.
Most students fall along the line because they couldn't understand at the first attempt what they read,some give a maximum three trails and give up.
Academic excellence is obtained through hardwork and commitment and this can be attained by being mentally tough.
In one of my interviews with student, a girl narrated how she gave up on mathematics because she doesn't understand when taught and forgets even the little she seems to understand. Another said when she attempts a question three times and don't get the answer she gives up.
All these is because they yield easily when studying and as such needs to be mentally tough.
It comes with a conscious effort and determination, and we teachers/tutors are charged with the responsibilities of instilling this virtue in the student.
Stay tuned for the components,features and ways of instilling mental toughness in students for optimum performance.
