When you are reading or studying, will you copy down the key knowledge that is originally unchanged, and will you think that you can remember the knowledge points only by copying them down and taking good notes, reading more rote memorization?
In fact, you don't have to memorize by rote, you can also remember the knowledge points firmly, if it is rote memorization, you don't know how to copy the notes in the books and courses, but it is not easy to remember.
I used to be like most people, and when I read a book or take a class, I would take lots and lots of notes. I think these notes are proof of my learning, but then I found out that I made a lot of notes, made a lot of notes, and finally I couldn't even open the notes.
In the end, I made a lot of notes, not only remembered, but also did not change at all, wasted a lot of time, pen, ink, paper and inkstone also consumed a lot, and finally the accumulated notes became garbage and thrown away, not to mention the value that these notes brought to me.
How to memorize knowledge points without rote memorization
A way to memorize knowledge points without rote memorization and understand knowledge in your own language. Only if you understand the knowledge points yourself, you don't have to memorize them, you can memorize the knowledge points.
Because if we just copy the knowledge points that others say into our own heads when we read books and go to class, and we have not processed these knowledge, it is difficult to understand these knowledge.
If we don't understand, we won't need it, so to understand the knowledge points, you don't need to memorize, you don't need to copy what others say, you can remember it by understanding it yourself.
How do you know that you already know this knowledge point?
To test whether we understand a knowledge point, it is very simple, we only need to use our own language to explain this knowledge point, explain it clearly, and the meaning is expressed in the same way as the meaning expressed by the author, then it proves that you have understood this knowledge point.
If you can't say it in your own language, it proves that you don't understand this knowledge point, you still need to continue to ponder what the author means, and if necessary, you also need to use the information to see what the meaning of the author is in more popular language.
For example, in a certain book, Fan Deng said: It is more reasonable than 10,000 hours of theory, and if you want to become an expert in any industry, you need to practice deliberately.
This sentence is what Fan Deng said, you don't have to copy and memorize what others say, you don't understand the meaning of this sentence, even if you memorize it and remember it, you don't know what it means, you don't know how to use it.
You have to repeat the meaning of the sentence in your own words, and you repeat what the sentence says. That's how I understand it in my own language.
Deliberate practice is more reasonable than 10,000 hours of theory, because you practice 10,000 hours, how much is right and how much is wrong, you may not even know yourself.
But deliberate practice can let you know that every practice is deliberate, not blind. No matter what industry you want to be, you need to practice deliberately.
This is my own note, what others say, I may not remember, but what I say is easier for me to remember, and I can understand.
Therefore, to memorize the knowledge points, you don't have to memorize them, you can also let yourself remember them by letting yourself understand, and you can understand and remember the knowledge, so that you can create value through the knowledge you have learned.
Well, that's all for this article.
