When I was a child, there were always several enviable schoolmasters in my class, which left an indelible "shadow" in the hearts of many children. For Xueba, most people just look at it with envy and sigh.

I remember there was a schoolmaster in the junior middle school class, A Can, whose academic performance was always in the top three in the class. In his view, those math exercises that make people scratch their heads are simply a piece of cake. When we are still complacent about finishing the exercises in the first chapter, people have finished the whole workbook.

What's even more "hateful" is that A Can never stopped playing games, basketball, reading novels and eating barbecues, and he played as well as others, with a particularly good attitude. He has no bitterness of studying hard at all, and he laughs more happily than anyone else. After the college entrance examination, A can was admitted to Tsinghua. God, the life of Xueba is really incomprehensible.

When they enter the society, there are fewer experts. Strictly speaking, they don't count, but they have changed into vests, turned into professionals from all walks of life, crossed the border, and even become online celebrities, making a splash in their respective segments. Most of these people have a wide range of interests, are good at learning and have strong growth motivation. They can always feel inexplicable excitement around them and are often inspired and encouraged by them.

As a result, we began to learn from the experiences, methods and habits of successful people, but we always felt a little overwhelmed, either unable to persist or confused. Obviously, I have read so many books, participated in so many training courses, copied so many courseware and interviewed so many people. Why haven't I seen the expected progress?

We want to work hard, but we don't know what to do. Think about the English you learned in those years. Will you say it now? Look at the composition written at the beginning, can you still write your learning experience now? Looking back at the original promise to expand your interest, how many have you realized now? Have you improved your ability to exercise now? Why didn't you get any grades when you studied very hard?

The root of these problems: "the original purpose of learning is to get rid of our immediate difficulties, but if we don't find a suitable learning method, it will be difficult to break through the status quo."

Before we start learning, we need to know ourselves, so that we can work out the best learning method for ourselves, overcome difficulties, persevere and reap results.

Most of the reasons why the learning effect is not obvious are as follows:

1. No suitable method was found.

The motivation of learning comes from interest, but the past study habits kill interest bit by bit, and boring mechanical exercises make people feel less happy about learning. But we can't all admit that we are bored, but we just mistakenly think that we are not suitable for learning something or suspect that our personal ability is insufficient.

Everyone's learning methods are different. Some people like to go from the basics to the parts and then to the overall situation, while others like to start from the overall situation and carry out focused local exercises, just like eating ice cream. Some people like to taste it bit by bit, while others like to take a big bite. But no matter what way you take, the most important thing is to keep a happy and cheerful state. The same is true of learning.

2. The influence of "ask me to learn"

Ask today's students how many people really like learning, not because they don't want to learn, but because those unpleasant learning experiences have gradually made learning synonymous with pain, so that many adults avoid learning when it comes to it.

The mentality of "asking me to study" is somewhat utilitarian. The purpose of studying as a student is to get a good grade, a good school and a good job; Entering the society, learning is to evaluate professional titles, improve performance and obtain professional qualifications. Learning is not for acquiring knowledge itself, but for some utilitarian purpose. Naturally, you can't take the initiative to learn, but think about what you want to do and how to do it.

3. Can't find the point

In the era of knowledge explosion, the first thing we have to face is not how to learn, but what to learn. Various training courses, courses and community activities are full of daily life. Under the influence of learning atmosphere, many people lose themselves and want to learn everything, just like Brittan's donkey, looking around, but finally finding nothing but deep anxiety and infinite sighs.

Adult learning is like a buffet. Instead of tasting fixed food in a set order, you should learn to choose the food you want and need from a variety of dishes and match it with your personality.

Adults are no longer students in education. They become more active in their studies and have more choices.

This kind of "self-paid" autonomous learning, like a baseball pitcher, needs to establish its own "winning ball". Once he has mastered the winning goal, his effect will benefit you for life.

Generally speaking, learning is a process of "finding the right method-persistence-breakthrough".

How do great men find their "winning goals" and finally achieve their respective careers? There are different ways to succeed, but there is always one that suits you.

Every great man's experience is different, and so are his learning styles and habits. To learn from their experiences and methods is not to copy them, but to find their own shadow in them, and to learn from them according to their actual situation, so as to form an "original learning method" suitable for them.

First, find a learning method that suits you.

(A) With the rhythm

If you want to find the learning rhythm, you need to carefully recall your past study habits, action patterns and thinking tendencies. Take learning English as an example.

Time. English learning is based on words, and everyone has different best memory times, some in the morning, some in the evening and some in the early morning. In short, this time should make your memory most efficient.

Location. Some people like to be at home, some people like to be in quiet places such as libraries and bookstores, and some people like to be in cafes or teahouses. In short, this place should calm you down.

Way. Some people like to recite words and short literary English, while others like to learn by listening to English songs and watching original English movies. Some draw key points while watching, and some summarize afterwards after reading. In short, the method should make you feel motivated to learn.

(B) to solve the problem of learning motivation

For adults, learning initiative is strong, which requires us to find out why we study. How to learn?

Like is more important than need. Most of the motivation for learning comes from "need" and "like". Need some utility, like to create the greatest happiness, more positive.

I have been watching Korean variety shows some time ago, so I went online to inquire about Korean learning materials and learn Korean while watching the programs. Now I can understand some basic words and short sentences in the program, and sometimes I can show off a few words to my friends around me.

You can feel happy without the pressure of easy study. And if I want to learn Korean instead of doing Korean foreign trade, it is estimated that memorizing the alphabet will be enough for me for a while.

Learning with goals is more active. Many times, confusion is not a lack of choice, but there are too many forks in the road in front of us to start. If you don't set your goals in advance, you will lose your way. Purposeful learning makes learning more active and efficient.

Originally an apprentice in an auto repair shop, Shoichiro Honda started to run a branch at the age of 22 because of his exquisite craftsmanship, but at the age of 28, he resolutely closed the auto repair shop and moved to a more promising piston ring manufacturing industry.

Due to the lack of manufacturing experience, Honda Tsuichiro decided to start with the basic knowledge and go to night school to learn only the knowledge of piston ring manufacturing. In order to solve the technical problems in production, he traveled all over the country and visited various experts.

During the two years from the completion of the prototype to the official start of mass production, in addition to learning production technology, Honda Fukuichiro also obtained 28 patented technologies and formed his own learning method "on-the-job training" (OJT language). Learning with purpose is more effective.

(3) Suitable for

The fit of learning is to find a comfortable learning style that conforms to one's own personality characteristics.

1. People who are easily disturbed and go with the flow-Stephen King's "external shielding method"

Create scenes. Most people try to calm themselves down before going to bed. They can read books, listen to light music or meditate. When these scenes appear, it indicates that it is time to go to bed. The same is true for learning. You need to create a scene, which can be a cup of tea, a little doll or turning on your tomato clock.

Isolated from the outside world. You can choose a quiet room, library or other place where people can calm down. In addition to spatial isolation, the most important thing is "electronic mute", which shuts down the mobile phone network and ensures that it will not be disturbed during this time. If there is something important, you can arrange it in advance.

Immerse yourself in it. Many people use pomodoro technique to ensure the high concentration of tomatoes. It is not who has more time to compete for learning efficiency, but who can make better use of a whole period of highly concentrated learning, which is the biggest challenge to learning in the fragmented era.

2. People who want to try everything and like to take shortcuts-Goethe's "restrictive method"

The propaganda aimed at celebrities, online celebrities and diaosi makes people see hope, but it also makes people paranoid. Many people study hard, but not to gain true knowledge, but to find a shortcut for quick success and instant benefit, eager to get the guidance of experts to get ahead. So all kinds of attempts, looking for a panacea everywhere.

Goethe, who was famous for young werther at a young age, was not only good at painting and playing the piano, but also proficient in Greek, Latin, Hebrew, French, English and Italian, but he stipulated that he could only write in German. Only by focusing on one thing can we be different.

In the process of learning, we should focus on one thing. First of all, exercise your insight and don't limit the scope. If we only focus on the existing fields of specialty, specialty and knowledge, it will be difficult to broaden our horizons, just as the more dishes in the canteen, the greater the choice. Secondly, actions should be limited in direction, precise in a certain field, and limited in time and energy.

3. People who have tried but can't see the result-Haruki Murakami's "body strengthening method"

There is a proverb in the west, "Be careful that your dreams come true". What is more terrible than not realizing your dream is that when it comes true, you find that it is not what you want. People don't lack hard work, but blindly follow the crowd without knowing their own situation before trying.

Running a marathon is a popular activity recently, but not everyone is suitable for running a marathon. Maybe you are more suitable for swimming. Haruki Murakami is also a marathon enthusiast. In his view, whether it is marathon or writing, the most important thing is to control the rhythm, and the key to controlling the rhythm is to keep a good state until tomorrow.

Take the long-distance running as an example, if you want to run fast, you can speed up, but at this time, you should reduce the running time, otherwise it will easily lead to excessive physical exertion and affect tomorrow's training. However, many seemingly hard-working people often want to do a lot of things on a whim, spending too much time and energy, affecting the next stage of task execution, and finally getting exhausted and getting nothing.

Second, keep learning.

It should be noted that finding a suitable learning method does not necessarily mean that you can achieve the expected results. Just like downloading a complete set of scientific weight-loss tutorials, you may not be able to lose weight successfully unless you persist in implementing them.

The process of learning itself is full of all kinds of uncertainties, and there will be boredom, loneliness, confusion, stagnation and even retrogression. This is the last stage of learning, but also the stage of accumulating experience and growing up. Without a hard process, there will be no wonderful ending.

Of course, if we can formulate our own learning methods according to our own personality characteristics, although there will be setbacks in the process, a proactive attitude will better absorb negative influences and maintain a positive state.

Third, breakthrough promotion.

The process of learning is also a process of breakthrough and promotion of knowledge, skills and talents.

Enrich knowledge and choose knowledge. Help people learn to think, know which knowledge is the most important, and which knowledge should be given priority to study, instead of grasping the eyebrows and beards, and increase the initiative of learning.

Learn to improve your skills. Just like a beginner driving, he knows everything by watching the coach's demonstration, but he will still be confused in actual operation. "Understanding" and "proficiency" are not the same thing, and the improvement of ability is proficiency-oriented.

Cultivate personality quality. The process of learning is mixed, whether it is success or failure, whether it is happiness or sadness, it will always temper and cultivate a person's mind. We can always see the eyes of perseverance, courage, decisiveness and patience from our elders, and it is precisely because of more experience that we become more mature and firm. Learn to hone your character in your study.

Finally, we should pay attention to the shortcomings and deficiencies in the learning process, which is the key to break through ourselves, re-establish learning goals and start a new round of learning entrustment plan.

Learning can't rely solely on enthusiasm. Mastering good methods is more important than hard work. Find your own "winning goal", formulate your own learning methods, and regain the happiness of learning. Don't make study seem like hard work.
