Learning must be in reasonable pace

 


Reading books is very helpful in many ways. It makes you learn new information about the world and teaches you new skills as well. Moreover, it makes you speaking more eloquent and articulated. The problem with reading is that it is very boring for many people and it takes a lot of time to really understand the content of the book. You might even have to reread the same chapter multiple times to really grasp the meaning of it.

In the recent years, many YouTube channels started simplifying complicated information to one short video where the give you they just give you the summary. They work very hard to prepare good script, pictures and spend a lot of time editing. They make pretty good videos simplifying complicated information many people struggle to understand.

However, often times you need to take the long road to get what you want. Reading a book or articles to understand a topic might be boring a take a lot of time but it will help your brain to process the Information and digest them well. It will give your brain time to put all the pieces together and really understands the topic. Watching well prepared videos and documentary is not always good because your brain can’t slow down and analyze the information.

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.

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.
