Did you actually reached the door ?

 Today I want to talk about the needed time to make a progress in your goal or skill. Sometimes I hear my classmate complain about his grades even though he study for one hour for math class every day. I actually have been though the same situation many times when I was in college. Also, many people complain that they are not making progress in the skill they want to master such as programming language, musical instrument, languages, .....


I have came to a realization that some skill required a specific amount of time in a daily basis ( or at least 5 days a week ). For example, if you are studying English for 10 minutes every day, you will probably not make any progress whatsoever. It is like planning to go to the English class in the 10th floor in the building by climbing the stairs to reach the class then take the elevator to go back down without going inside the English class. 


I think that for all goals and skills that we want to master, we must spend a specific amount of time in a daily basis to start making progress. For some skills, even two hours is not enough for you to reach the door. This is one of the reason why I stopped judging people who give up on mastering a skill. Because some people they realized that spending one hour daily for their targeted goal is just a waste of time without making any progress. They need to spend more time and they don’t have enough time ( or they decided not to ).

Why You Cannot Achieve More Than One Goal in The Same Period of Time

One of the most common traps people fall into is trying very hard to achieve more than one goal in the same period of time. They might be very motivated to master more than one skill so they create a schedule to help them work on all their goals in a daily basis. They keep working hard on multiple goals in the same time for months without getting a satisfying result. Then they start to question their strategy in learning each skill and change it and keep repeating the same cycle again. They start to work on one goal all the time but after two or three weeks they start to work in more than one goal and the cycle keep repeating.             What I mean by a goal or a skill in this post is something like, improving your academic performance, master a musical instrument, learn a language, have a good body shape, learn drawing, be a great engineer, be great writer, learn a coding language, …etc. These are just some examples but you ...

2022/05/04 (Why Calculus is Difficult?)

 During our 12 years in school, we have learned all algebra techniques such as additions, substructions, division and multiplication. In each one of these techniques, there are many techniques. If you have an exam, you know which techniques you need to study to pass the exam.  However, in Calculus it is more complicated. In each problem, you need to use a technique before you start solving the problem. In each exam, you will have to use many techniques before you start solving any problem. You are supposed to be able to use each one of these techniques. But there are so many techniques and you don't remember all of them because you haven't used them since long time ago. Or you might be not sure which technique you need to use because some problems can be solved by more than one specific technique.  So when students start studying Calculus, the teacher assumes that they already know all the simple techniques that schools teach. Calculus teacher keep repeating this phrases ...

Poison Positivity

 When I was in my third year in college, I had an acute depression. I had very bad grades and I had a lot of family problems. Starting from 2018, I decided to listen and read about self-development. I immersed myself in this world and I replaced my negativity with positivity. I literally brainwashed my brain. After I have have solved my depression problem completely, I started looking unsatisfied on many self-development post. I realized that often time, being optimistic is just a way of escaping the brutal truth. It is actually will make you less happy instead of more happy. Even too much positivity is bad for you.
