What I’ve Learned About Learning(from zenhabits.net)

There are some brilliant English blog on the web. Such as this one zenhabits.net. I've read a post named life is an conscious practice and it impress me very much. In this post the topic is learning.

‘We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.’ ~Lloyd Alexander

Maybe that's why you can't pass the examines just by memorize the answers to the exercises. OK that's just kiding. But that's true the process is more important than merely the result. The reason is complex and thinker-unfriendly. By unfriendly I mean there are few people who are willing to spare some time thinking about it.

Almost everything I’ve learned, I didn’t learn in school; and

Almost everything my students (and kids) have learned, they learned on their own.

Sounds like a joke. The place our society design to implement the education is the most impossible place for us to learn something. This isn't a joke of course. But that's not really true. By using extreme word like everything i think the writer is trying to inspire critical thinking about study in the school.

This is where the real learning happens — when the fingers start moving, the feet start dancing, not when you hear or read something.

In my minds there are lots of brilliant ideas. But i think most of them never come ture. So if i want to make some differences firstly set the clear goal and more importantly stick to it and keep going.

The steps to teach oneself:

1.Get fascinated. The reason is easy to be understood but how?

2.Pour yourself into it. Only by constant using and practicing can the knowledge or skills be mastered.

3.Do it, in small steps. Small steps make the begining easy.

4.Play. Interesting one.

5.Do it with others. This is cool. Because i've never connected learning with others.

6.Feel free to move around. i don't understand

7.Deep learning takes months or years.

8.Test yourself.

9.Disagree. Do not always agree with the experts.

10.Teach it. By teaching you will have a deeper understand of why it works.

11.Learning can be subliminal.

12.Reflect on your learning by blogging.

The really steps i think are the ones in bold which is judged by myself.
