hi,
Does anyone know how to become a mechanical engineer?
is it difficult or easy?
thanks.

Welcome to PF!
The typical way is to go to college and get a mechanical engineering degree. It's moderately difficult, but definitions of "difficult" can vary.

Seconded.

Nothing good comes easy. ME is relatively difficult. I would put in hardwork and zeal in both my UG/career after to be one.

* How far along are you in your education?

* Your profile lists your country as Pakistan. Certain mechanical engineering jobs might require additional training and licensing beyond an undergrad college degree. That depends on the specific job and on the specific country in which you'll be working. If you plan to stay in Pakistan, find out what the regulations there are. Start with a web search on "pakistan society mechanical engineers".

Assuming you are in high school and looking at your options for university, one good step would be to learn how to use a machine shop and start building projects. Does your high school offer a machine shop class or similar?

And a modern part of starting to build mechanical things is to learn to draw basic mechanical drawings and to start to use a 3-D printer to actually fabricate a few of them. These are skills that you will be using at university in your ME studies, so it's good to get an early start on them. Plus, it can be really fun, and you can build some things that are useful to you in your daily life.

physics is more important than any engineering qualification (skills).
for example, the laser was invented by physicists, not engineers.
there are many valuable inventions done by physicist and they are still doing it because their primary interest is not money.while engineers are more interested in money.

??? Why did you post your original question, if you already had the answer?
