Learnability

These days I am faced with a different kind of challenge. I am not sure if it is a lack of will power to complete what I started or is it my learning disability that is holding me back. Now I am not buying the argument that it’s a lack of will power. I am no quitter for sure I know that much about myself. Now is it an issue of learnability? What is learnability? As far as my commonsense tells me it is the ability of a person to learn new things. Now associating that to my issue, I have a problem remembering anything legal. So the issue as far as I can analyze is I am not able to correlate a relation between the language and the thought behind it. So my problem has lot to do with readability of the legal books, reference material. Why is it that so many people around me are able to do it and I am not able to? This is because all my life I have read engineering material and for a few years now management material. Now out of the blue I am asking my mind to comprehend legal material which it has never done. I have to learn reading comprehension, decoding, and memory strategies on legal subjects. Who will teach me this? Who can assist me in learning this and finish what I started? I feel like that kid Ishaan Awasthi (Darsheel) in the movie Taare Zameen Par just before he meets Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Amir Khan). I fear I may not be able to finish at all and fail in something which I myself selected. I am back to the same intersection ruled by failure from which I had taken a deviation a few years back. Now again I need to carve a path out of wilderness, I need to find a way out! I need to take the untrodden path.
