INTRODUCTION. SLOW LEARNER STUDY GROUP est.1995

   At a very young age, we are categorized by the school system into two groups, the slow learner and the fast learner. But as a slow learner and as you get older, you begin to realise that they were wrong all along, that you don't have a learning disability but instead, you think for yourself and you found it so hard to go along with the flow. You are called a slow learner because you have a powerful "why" for every and any abstract subjects thrown your way, you have a solid reason for every of your actions and you also expect everyone should do the same. Learning is a process and not a goal.
   
   I am a slow learner and that means that I:
  • Remember the things I've learned and integrate them into my actions
  • Have patience to devote the time necessary to really learn a subject
  • Seek out the experts on a subject and absorb everything I can from them
  • Find value in many different sources
  • I'm not afraid of being called slow, freeing me to learn subjects that don't fall within my natural talents
  • Accept advice graciously
  • Take time to understand another viewpoint whether or not I agree with it
  • I'm better able to help others learn; I'd be more aware of the steps of the learning process.

KEYSTONE HABIT

    Reading, studying shouldn't be forced. It can't be forced. It's voluntary, it's something that you do naturally,out of curiosity.You only need that trigger event that would make you not only cultivate a reading habit but it would spread across other areas of your life. Let me tell you my own story, early in my 20s I was lost, in the sense that I didn't know or have purpose. I wake up everyday angry and frustrated,my mom always nagging me, friends that I thought would be in my life for ever had left me not even answering my calls or replying my messages. That really broke me. Long story short, I fell into depression at age 21, mehn it was scary at first like really scary, I didn't know it was depression because I've never been depressed before so I didn't know what was wrong with me. I just knew that things don't excite me anymore even things I can't do without like listen to music didn't come to my mind, I lost my personality, I had suici...

COMMUNICATION. THE TOPIC

COMMUNICATION is simply the act of transferring information from one place, person or group to another. Every communication involves (at least) one sender, a message and a recipient. This may sound simple, but communication is actually a very complex subject. The transmission of the message from sender to recipient can be affected by a huge range of things. These include our emotions, the cultural situation, the medium used to communicate, and even our location. The complexity is why good communication skills are considered so desirable by employers around the world: accurate, effective and unambiguous communication is actually extremely hard.    There is no doubt that communication plays a vital role in human life. It does not only help to facilitate the process of sharing information and knowledge, but also helps people to develop relationships with others. Therefore, the importance of communication cannot be underestimated. But even as important /vital communication is in t...

MEMO

" I have found that “forgetting” is an important part of learning, particularly if I want to learn something deeply, gaining an intuitive understanding rather than just superficial facts. I immerse myself in studying something and then at a certain point my brain says “no more!” and it becomes stressful and I don’t seem to be making any progress. So I leave it for a few days (or weeks, or months) and then come back to it when it is no longer stressful (the right time seems to be when I start dreaming about it). Then I may have forgotten many of the surface details but I find it is so much easier to understand and remember the material and I can go further before I reach the “no more!” point again. It is as though my brain is doing a huge amount of reorganizing, unconsciously, during those interstitial times. Traditional learning does not usually give you the opportunity to take breaks when you need them. "        - KAIA " O gosh, that describes me too. I think...
