"In mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them." - John von Neumann
I find that I do very well in subjects/classes that I'm interested in, and do poorly in classes where I'm not.
I think one of the main reasons people find math uninteresting is that they see no practical everyday application of it (algebra/trig yes, not so much calculus).
If I could make millions of moolah working with calculus my interest would definitely sky rocket.
