ultimately result in successful performance.
9. Challenges encountered in this assignment
Some of challenges faced at the time of preparing the assignment are
Not believing on individual skills: Being a student, most of them start doubting on
themselves about the fact whether they can complete the assignment (Palermo et al., 2017). They
merely focus on the point that they can complete the assignment in the given time period.
Reading more in comparison to absorbing: Going through a lot of content before
preparing this assignment but forgetting most of the point till the end of assignment (Burbano &
Ostler, 2018). There is need for taking notes followed by adding misery to this particular
situation.
Making individual much more competitive than required: Competitive nature is good as
it helps in bringing the best from individual (McKenzie, 2015). In some cases, over-competitive
nature will ultimately led to trouble.
