What is your learning style like?

1. Two concepts of learning

l? I can learn anything, even if I don’t understand it yet

l? My methods and concepts are not necessarily the same Yes, it can be optimized and improved

Learning is a long journey, and the process will not be smooth sailing. Sometimes you will encounter setbacks, and sometimes you need to face external challenges. Overcoming setbacks does not just rely on methods, but the most important thing is to change your mindset.

These two learning concepts are proposed solutions to the two major obstacles that affect learning: "cowardice" and "arrogance".

Being timid in the face of unknown things: not trying when encountering problems, but instead blaming the cause of failure on the outside world - I am a boy, how can I learn English; I am a girl, I am not born suitable Study mathematics...

The "arrogance" of thinking that you know everything: The ancients once said, "Beware of arrogance and impetuosity." It is not without reason that pride is the first thing to be wary of. When you stay in a certain field or position for a long time, you will think that you know everything and others are not qualified to tell you what to do. At least it can hinder progress, at worst it can ruin everything.

2. Utilitarian learning

Adult-style learning is a learning method that is problem-solving oriented and based on practice.

Compared with money, people’s greatest wealth is attention and time. Each of us is an investor, and you get to decide how you allocate your time, energy, and cognitive bandwidth each day. Whether the cost can be doubled is a question that needs to be considered. After all, life is short.

Now my learning method is more utilitarian - the purpose of learning is to use it in life. If there is no demand for the time being, there is no need to waste time and energy.

3. Establish clear goals

There is no limit to learning and hard work. In any subject, if you delve deeply into it, it will be extremely profound knowledge. Take self-media writing as an example. At the beginning, you just need to write the article well, and then you may need to study design psychology-how to format, color, and illustrate to attract readers to take action; in the end, you find that if you don’t study marketing and communication, the article It is difficult to spread widely...

Just as Buddhist disciples describe Buddhist scriptures as "very, very, very, very profound."

To study a skill or skill, the extent to which it is achieved needs to be clearly defined. For example, when I learned the VBA syntax of EXCEL, my goal was to compile a small program that could help me solve repetitive problems in batches.

4. Seek help from famous teachers

To learn how to get started with a skill, a common method is to search for information on the Internet. But now that there is an explosion of information, it is not easy to select information.

The fastest way is to find professionals and have them recommend corresponding learning materials. If you want to learn PS, find friends who do graphic design.

5. Be willing to spend money

Former New Oriental famous teacher Xu Cen once shared his experience of learning guitar: In order to force himself to practice every day, he borrowed hundreds of thousands from a friend to buy a guitar. A guitar and an agreement to pay it off in one year.

The paid knowledge market has been very hot in the past two years, and various free micro-courses or training camps are flying all over the place. In fact, free is the most expensive. Because the course is free, there won’t be much useful information. Even if there is useful information, it’s just to attract you to buy his products.
