Read Chapter 3 of Leapfrog Growth: A Changing Culture: The Data Revolution

Living in Pakistan as a child, Ali Nakwe loved literature, began learning to play golf at the age of seven, winning the National Amateur Championship in secondary school and representing the country in international championships. But there was a shadow in his studies: he was a liberal arts student, but he could only get c- in science. Later, he was transferred to Singapore for high school due to his father's work, and the new math teacher used music songs to help him learn mathematical concepts, so that his math improved, but this was only a flash in the pan, a new batch of teachers changed in the second grade, his science learning curve returned to the original state, he stopped trying, which led to his failure to graduate from high school with his classmates. He no longer remembers how he passed the exam and took a media and communication studies course in Singapore at a certain grade level. Through this course, he entered an Australian university to study and obtained a degree in media and communication. During his time at the school he trained as an Australian ace golf instructor in golf. The coach needed someone to help him build an online business, and Ali got the job as a web content manager and was paid handsomely. The balance between practice and work made It impossible for Ali to fully focus on golf training, and in the end, Ali failed to make golf a lifelong career.

After graduation, Ali came to the UK to start a new life and a career in digital marketing, he entered a start-up company and became an SEO account executive. This position is one of the most technical of all in marketing, requiring strong mathematical and scientific skills and, most importantly, an understanding of how search engine algorithms work, which is Ali's fatal weakness. He chose this field because of the urgent need for his economy at the time.

Ali's work from this is: search engine optimization, coding, computers, change. He needs to learn paradigm shifts to achieve competence in this work.

Paradigm shifts, proposed by the American scientist Thomas Kuhn, refer to the emergence of new academic achievements in a field that break the original assumptions or laws, thus forcing people to make fundamental corrections to many of the basic theories of the discipline. In layman's terms, paradigm shifting is to break out of the original shackles and restrictions and create new possibilities for people's thoughts and actions. Such revolutionary breakthroughs are often made by two types of people, the first being young people, who have not yet been forcibly indoctrinated and formed a standard way of looking at things, who retain the freshness and independence of their thoughts; and the second type of career shifters, who bring seemingly unrelated previous knowledge into new jobs with new perspectives, thus helping themselves to innovate.

Ali clearly falls into the second category. At first, he also made some of the mistakes of the initial stages, starting with passion – the early progress went well – when things moved too fast, the learning curve fell sharply - compared to the classmates who improved much faster than himself – began to feel discouraged, and found all kinds of excuses to procrastinate – after a while to start again, only to find that most of the things had been forgotten and returned to the starting point.

Later, he stumbled upon a book, The Way of Learning, and the author was the author of this book. From the book he learned how the author mastered math and science by retraining his brain. He then began taking the online "Learn how to learn" course to learn some of the learning perspectives related to his career.

Ali's golf coach once said: "The past is over, you can't change it, all you can control is your attitude on the next shot, the only thing that matters in the world at the moment is the next blow." He applied this wisdom to online learning programming: a colon is lost here, the code can't run, there's a wrong step in your program, and the number is canceled. Whenever this happens, he tries to follow the standard routine he's learned in his golf career — admitting his troubles, then taking a deep breath, thinking about what steps he can take to troubleshoot, and then focusing on those steps. ”

More effective retraining experiences are: using the mobile phone Pomodoro program (Pomodoro) to help yourself focus on the process rather than the result, and defeat procrastination. Tackle missing block learning sessions – Keep understanding and practicing key thinking skills until you can familiarize yourself with them as if you were learning to sing a song. This includes pre-study lessons, important concepts, building learning frameworks in the brain, closing your eyes and recalling new concepts you just learned, and learning them again if you can't recall them. Arrange leisure activities to relax the brain, studies have shown that when you sleep or insomnia, close your eyes and relax, and the hippocampus in the brain begins to work to help you organize your memories and form new synapses. Apply metaphors to concept learning, using fun music with colorful images to make boring knowledge more interesting. Easy memories of new concepts you've just learned before going to bed will make you wake up the next day with a sudden epiphany. Teach yourself out loud, that is, treat yourself as a novice and then explain the concept to yourself.

Through such persistence, transformation, and change, Ali's life has achieved fascinating leaps and bounds. He has received two promotions at his advertising agency, first as business director and now as business partner.
