Should I spend more time on the difficult subjects?

If you've got a difficult subject, it may be difficult for you, but not for somebody else. If you're got at mathematics, it is easy, but if you're not so good at it, you find it difficult. And if you find it difficult and you want to succeed with it, then you'll have to work harder at it. It is like anything else in life. So if you want to succeed in that subject, you will have to spend longer. Who knows, you might even get to like it, and then you might find it is easy.
