Question: I am a student of 11th commerce stream, but not interested much in that and because of less interest I didn't score well at all can i opt for some other courses now? Or can u suggest for any books which will help me to atleast gain some interest?
Answer: It is a common practice that we blame someone or something else for our own performance-here being your interest. Did your parents force you to take up Commerce or it was your choice to take the 'in thing' by opting for it? You were not serious and did not put in the effort that you were required to-to put it plain terms. Had you been diligent in your studies, you would have understood the concepts which in turn would have created the interest in you. Simply stated, we develop interest when we understand something-if I am to speak/ write in Latin to you, you would probably not listen to me or even read the piece, but because you know English you read it. The crux is Don't blame your interest level in the subject but put in your best effort, teachers are there to help you and parents are there to support you. Now it is late for you to change subjects, but if you really feel you cannot cope, then talk to your principal and she might help you.
