Is Delhi Online Education for you?

2. I am not able to stay focused and am easily distracted.
3. I am highly motivated to learn.
4. When faced with difficulties, I don't seek alternatives to solve the problem. I give up quite easily.

6. I don't enjoy working at home or at different times of the day or night.
