You must instead say “Studies are hard but worth it”, “Nerds are cool because they know so much”. By simply changing your core beliefs about learning and studies you can achieve much more in your student life than ever. Ultimately, mindset is what leads to behaviour, habits lifestyle. If your mindset is correct, everything else falls in the right place.
