Poor Performance
Are we all
same?
Every individual is unique and
has his/her own strengths and
preferred learning style.
Underachievers at school
are generally not Poor
Performers in life.
It’s the circumstances
and opportunities that make the achievers and
underachievers different.
It’s only that “EXTRA”

of a problem, cause of which
has to be diagnosed.
