The study of language, history, literature, science, etc., will direct you to the study of Latin and Greek, with no demands or force, if you are a curious student.
Be happy that our physicians, scholars, and scientists are not compelled to comply to the lowest common denominator.

As an aside: The fully engaged, active, inquisitive, occupied, challenged mind excels at everything that it attempts. If too much intellectual activity hinders one from succeeding, one has not developed an agile mind.
