Study doubt - study success
This page contains automatically translated content.
Publius Syrus (in "Sententiae" c. 50 b.Cr.)
A doubting mind is half the wisdom
The wish to start studying after graduating from school has come true. Now in the study one has nevertheless doubts and feels insecure. This is how it was and is for many students. Doubts and uncertainty are an impetus for further development. Only those who doubt and reflect on their own goals, actions and decisions can take responsibility for their own educational process - and be successful.
Don't be alone with your doubts. Doubts are there to be overcome, not to be retained. Talking to friends and family members is not the only way to overcome doubts. At the university, too, there are various contact persons who can help you overcome your crisis of meaning and solve a wide range of challenges. The discussions are open-ended. Dropping out of a course of study, followed by a personal time-out, an apprenticeship, a change of university or subject, can also be a success.
The reasons for doubt and success are many
As different as people are, so too are the individual conditions that affect motivation to study and academic performance. It is a web of conditions that lead to dropping out of studies, and it often takes that one last drop that breaks the camel's back. This also means that there are several adjusting screws that can be turned. And there is a solution for everyone.
