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.

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...

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...

Find x

WTF!!! Before you tell kids to find x, can u explain to them why 'x' is used to represent the unknown. If not, why not find a, b, c, d . . .w,y...z. And how come alphabets can be calculated? Last time I checked they were used to spell words to form a sentence, how come now you can add, subtract, multiply, minus and divide alphabets and get your answers as an alphabet?. These are few of many questions going on in the mind and hearts of every so-called Slow Learner. And how is this subject matter applicable to everyday real life issues.
