that is one of the main reasons why learning processes often didn't quite work out as I planned. No stimulation, only grading and competition, of which I both just didn't see the point.
And to stay on-topic and elaborate on the subject of fear:
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
