⭐️ Four important concepts ⭐️ about learning
About "Think"
Although thinking is slow, laborious, and unreliable, people like the pleasure of solving problems through thinking, so they actively seek opportunities to think.
About "Memory"
People tend to use memory to guide action.
How to remember more well: things that are emotionally connected; meaningful thinking; effective repetition; interesting stories (cause and effect, conflict, diversity); Mnemonics (associative thoughts, initials, singing)
About "Understanding"
Understanding is the use of known things to understand new things, which shows the importance of background knowledge.
Pay attention to understanding the points, lines and surfaces of knowledge, and carry out global learning, that is, focus on understanding deep knowledge.
About Exercises
Practice consistently and effectively until you blurt out and form automation.
Be clear about what to practice, focus on diversified and decentralized exercises, and use them as you go.
⭐️ Wisdom ⭐️ in the book
Background knowledge determines learning preferences and school performance, so the earlier the learning of background knowledge, the better, the more solid the better, and pay attention to diversified learning.
Super-canonics, that is, having sufficient background knowledge, is more beneficial than learning in advance.
The difference between excellent students lies in four aspects: background knowledge, learning motivation, perseverance to overcome difficulties, and self-confidence.
The difference between people is enthusiasm and effort, and intellectual differences can be changed by "persistent effort", so practice and diligence are very important.
Each family member is an educator for their children, using their areas of expertise to educate their children and integrate knowledge into their lives.
Lifelong learning, not just on-campus learning.
