EDUCATION AND EDUCATIVE NEWS

Inability of the brain to retain messages for a long time has been a major problem for students. It's very frustrating for a student to take out time, read for a while and forget in a twinkle of an eye. This has made most students question, doubt and limit their capabilities.

In such a situation they'll be left with no other choice than to reduce the number of workers they have by sacking them, then multitask the rest. This also comes with low salaries and stressful working hours. It's proving difficult for someone in such a situation to get a standard living.
