Lots of people are scared of Physics and say it is too hard. I won’t claim that Physics will be the easiest subject you can choose, but I often describe it like this:
Some subjects are like a walk in the park — pleasant, straightforward and not very strenuous.
Physics is more like climbing a mountain — challenging, demanding and sometimes tough.
But ask yourself: what gives you a greater sense of satisfaction, pride and achievement — the easy path or the challenge?
Are you up for the challenge or do you just want an easy ride?
If you’re ever feeling overwhelmed or short on motivation, take a look at the inspiring quotes and resources linked on the site. Sometimes all you need is a reminder of what you’re capable of.
