But this problem can be overcome with patience and calmness. A patient mind becomes more focused and effective.  Don't feel frustrated or demotivated. Keep trying as many times as you can.

When something doesn't happen the way they planned and problems interrupt their smooth life they suffer from stress and panic a lot. In a panicking state of mind, students cannot think of any solutions and what to do. 

Whereas students with a good patience level deal with situations better. They think of innovative solutions to overcome the problems. Instead of panicking and freaking out, such students analyze the situation, think deeply and come up with proper solutions. Their problem-solving has improved to a great extent.

They are not able to listen to what others are suggesting and saying. They feel what they are saying is only correct. And because of this, they get easily irritated too. This affects their relationships and bonding with others. But a student with a good patience level tends to listen to others better. A calm and composed mind makes them more empathetic. This helps them to connect with others more effectively. Their social and interpersonal skills also improve to a great extent.
