Yesterday's as well as today's skills are changing so fast that – UNLESS We MAKE OURSELVES A PRO-ACTIVE LEARNER [a person who seeks to improve his/her quality of life and live better – in every day basis] – you will be left out of the MAIN-RACE and will have to be in the RAT-RACE.
The speed at which we learn is most important. The learning is not only a Skill – but also a mental habit and attitude.
Art of Learning and Learning faster - can be mastered by anyone – with enough practice.
Although all of us can learn anything – BUT TO MASTER => WE NEED NOT ONLY TO PUT EFFORTS, PRACTICE, and are FOCUSED – but we also need to enjoy learning and unlearning AND we need to become a person who CAN discern WHAT WE NEED TO LEARN.
The biggest impediment to learning is our EGO, Our College University Degrees, Our Successes, Our insecurities [which makes us think that I know it OR that I am right].
The method of learning – 6 simple rules
1. Identify the areas of your life – which needs to change and are making you feel frustrated or restless
2. Identify what you need to learn – meaning, which Skills, Knowledge, Habits, Abilities, Attitude – will create most profound change that we are looking for desperately
3. Identifying – how to learn – meaning, doing what will improve your skills[e,g. observing a master, learning under a mentoring doing real-time etc etc]
4. Identifying how to put into practice IMMEDIATELY – what you have learned in small bytes
5. Identifying and improvising for greater effectiveness that you have mastered
6. Looking for habits or skills those are Obsolete and are holding you down AND start unlearning, stop practicing
