41 Learning Methods That Benefit a Lifetime

Chapter 15: The Learning Effect of Like-Like Comparison
Having said so much earlier, some people may ask, what help does this kind of comparison method have for our study?As mentioned above, the learning method of similar comparison method is a method of sorting and comparing one or several issues involved in our study.This learning method is especially important for those who already have certain research and analysis skills.As the saying goes, only when there is comparison can there be identification.Through the similar comparison method, the following effects can be obtained:

First, it helps to deepen the understanding of the same issue.

As far as the same question is concerned, there may be a big difference between what the teacher taught and what is reflected in the book: either the teacher thinks that this question is not worth discussing in depth and simply said a few words, or the book is full of entanglements.Some problems are a piece of cake for those with higher levels, but for some people they are like a bible.The similar comparison method can effectively overcome the problems encountered in these daily studies.Specifically, it is to bring the things to be learned (no matter how difficult or easy) into a broad background, so as to better reveal their inherent universal laws.The so-called "one law is universal, all laws are universal", mastering the basic laws of things, naturally there will be no annoying problems in the past when learning.

Second, it helps us consider issues from more aspects.

Due to the relatively limited knowledge we have learned, we will inevitably have certain limitations when looking at problems.For example, when discussing a certain issue, due to the different levels of knowledge and experience of individuals, the arguments and arguments selected are often not the same.Through comparison, we can see more problems, understand more methods, and learn more experience, so that we can brainstorm and learn to consider the same problem from different angles.In this way, one-sidedness can be effectively avoided, mistakes will be made less, and the knowledge acquired will be more solid.

Third, it helps us discover problems and contradictions, and greatly stimulates our interest in learning and thinking.

As the saying goes, people are not sages, and they can do nothing wrong.Therefore, even the textbooks we regard as standard can sometimes make mistakes due to the author's carelessness or limitations, let alone others?Through comparative study, it is entirely possible to find the fallacy and gain insight into how the author's error occurred.This is also a kind of exercise of the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Why not do it if you receive the effect of "killing two birds with one stone" that "if there is something, change it, and if there is nothing, encourage it"?

Fourth, it helps us learn from the strengths of others.

One of the steps of the similar comparison method is to collect materials and documents related to the subject of study for comparative study. "Stones from other hills, can learn".Through our diligent collection, there must be unexpected gains: some documents are outstanding in writing, while others are informative;Through such comparative learning, knowledge can be increased in many ways, not just the small part we want to learn.

Finally, learning and researching with the method of similar comparison can help us obtain new discoveries and inventions, which cannot be achieved by general learning.

For example, through our comparative study with Japan, we can find the importance of striving to improve the quality of the nation.Japan is an island country with a small area but a large population.However, although Japan has a higher population density and fewer resources than ours, why are they so much more developed than us?One of the main reasons for this is their role in national education and related policies.After the end of the Second World War, as a war-torn country, Japan began the road of post-war reconstruction.It fully recognizes the importance of talent and technology and puts it in the first place.Continuous national education and training have developed the intelligence of the Japanese, and quickly cultivated a large number of scientific and technical personnel who have mastered the most advanced technology and a large number of highly skilled technical workers.Relying on these advanced technologies and high-level quality, Japan quickly occupied the world market and was at the forefront of the world.Therefore, if we can, like Japan, develop the potential intelligence of each of us Chinese, greatly improve the quality of the people, and always adhere to the basic national policy centered on economic construction, I believe that in the near future we will definitely Be able to become prosperous and strong, and stand tall in front of the people of the world!
The method of comparison of similarity and difference is a concept paralleled with the method of comparison of the same kind, and it is also a specific approach of comparative law.It is to try to find out the commonalities or similarities on the basis of the differences.Life practice and psychological research have proved that memory is based on connections. To learn effectively, you must determine the connections between things, and the closer the connections, the easier it is to establish and consolidate memories.

Between different things, try to find out the commonalities or similarities between them, so as to firmly remember them, for example:
