○Learning How to Learn [1]

     Regardless of the matter at hand, the process of growth is the same, summarized briefly as "curiosity, practice and technique, long-term repetition". To elaborate a bit more, it is as follows:

1. Curiosity

    Always follow your curiosity. Curiosity is intuitive, and proceeding according to it is a good order of learning. When you follow your curiosity, learning becomes autonomous, and motivation is easier to maintain.

2. Practice and repetition from simple techniques and knowledge

    Choose simple techniques and knowledge frequently used in practice, and repeating them for 30 minutes a day for a week will make your body start to remember. At this time, visualize the techniques and movements of skilled people in about 3-5 stages, and imitate them slowly at first. When you can do it, try imitating at the same speed. After about a month, more synapses are formed, and once you remember about three simple techniques, you start to grasp the knack of learning. By combining these techniques, you can create complex skills. And use this in practice. For knowledge as well, instead of trying to memorize it, devise ways to increase the number of repetitions through practice and get used to seeing it. By repeatedly practicing like this, you will also see hints necessary for the next growth. This repetition increases analytical skills, and it becomes a power to understand immediately when tackling other matters, so the ability to grow independently no matter what you do increases.

3. Amount of practice per day

    The more repetitions, the more synapses increase, and the quality improves. More than 3 hours a day is considered high, 2 hours is medium, and less than 1 hour is low. If you practice the same thing every day, you will get bored, so the key is to add variations even to the same technical practice. Therefore, continue to gain new knowledge from books, videos, and others, and think and devise for yourself. This trial and error cultivates the power to think and plan, fostering a wide range of knowledge and perspective, as well as self-control.
