Chapter 3 Techniques for Breakthrough Learning (1)
Just as the land can be improved by sowing various seeds, so wisdom can be improved by various methods of learning.

first steps in learning

Learning is not a difficult thing, the key lies in our attitude towards learning.It is often said, "The world was made by faith." There is a lot of truth in this statement.Strength is the mother of success, confidence is the source of strength.Once you have a firm and lasting confidence in learning, you will be able to explode with enormous and incredible power.This is what is often said in psychology: "self-suggestion." If the "self-suggestion" method is used properly, success will belong to you.As the saying goes: "Strong confidence can make people work hard", this is the truth.Former American world boxing champion Joe Fleurer’s secret to winning every fight is: the day before the fight, he always sticks a motto on the ceiling of his bedroom - "Yes, I Can" (I must win!)

Don't be afraid of failure, let alone think about failure all the time. The negative development principle of the psychological "self-suggestion" method tells us that if you think about failure, you will definitely fail.The best way to deal with failure is to not take it personally and realize that failure is not all bad, failure is the mother of success.

"Self-suggestion" will succeed if it faces the positive side, and it will fail if it faces the "negative side". If you think about failure, you will definitely fail.

In the examination room, facing the examination questions, you said: Oh, it's so difficult!I will fail the exam (this is self-suggestion).The result must be a bad test, which has been verified thousands of times.

People who always say they don't know how to do it have a mentality problem in nine out of ten.This negative self-suggestion will affect the development of your potential wisdom and strength.It's like swimming. If a person thinks that he can't swim anymore, he's bored.And the other thought, I still have the energy to swim back.Although they are all very tired, the one who swims back first must be the one who is still "vigorous".

Therefore, when encountering such a situation, the first thing to do is to release the shackles of "negative hints". You must not just say that you can't or think that you can't do it.

People often like to use words such as "no way" and "last resort".These words with the helpless and obvious meaning of "giving up", although they are regarded as a virtue of "not forcing everything" and "not haggling over every detail", can be used in learning, thinking or solving problems, which is a great disaster.Such desperate words tend to frustrate you, stop you from moving forward, and hinder your thinking activities.Especially when studying or taking exams, don't let it appear, even for a moment.

You have to understand that the score is only a superficial phenomenon. A person who often gets full marks in the exam does not mean that he has succeeded in studying.If he can't use the knowledge he has learned flexibly and skillfully solve practical problems at work; then he is still a failure.

So don't be too envious of those who often get full marks in studies, and don't be jealous of them.You have to firmly believe that you will definitely get a good grade in the exam. As long as you have confidence, you will be half successful.With the help of our own hearts, we will definitely become strong in life.Even if we have faced failure in learning, failure can also become our wealth.

It often happens in life that some people who have suffered repeated setbacks and mediocre academic performance can show amazing strength in the examination room and achieve success, while those who are usually considered excellent academic performance are often helpless and lose their names.The reason is that the former has "failure experience", is always ready to be mentally prepared, is not afraid of possible failure or success, and can easily control his emotions at critical moments.The latter can't, they don't have this kind of experience, and they lack psychological preparation.Once frustrated, you can't control your emotional fluctuations, and as a result, you fail in a pinch.It can be seen that failure experience is really important to a person's life.People with failure experience can stand up bravely even if they suffer setbacks, absorb the lessons of failure, and give full play to their own strength.As long as your faith is not extinguished, failure is only temporary.

Follow Joe Fleurer's approach, write epigrams such as "I firmly believe" and "I will win" in large characters and paste them on the wall and bedside, stare at them for a while before going to bed every day, and feel the mood of your good grades , The next day, it was the first thing I saw after waking up, and I felt it again.Over time, you will feel that there is a huge force supporting you.Even if you are hit by failure, you can remain invincible in your heart.If you want to strengthen your confidence in studying, you can also shout out the window a few times every morning: "I can get full marks in the exam...", "I will definitely be able to learn well...".When the famous writer Hemingway was depressed or lacked inspiration, he would shout loudly into the wilderness: "I am a genius!" "I am a genius!"...

The method of repeated emphasis is very simple, but the language that is enough to motivate oneself can produce a direct suggestion, which will gradually penetrate into your heart and arouse strong resonance.At this time, you will gain an indomitable courage and confidence to win.

Everyone has the potential to learn.If you regard yourself as an outstanding student, you will imitate the behavior of outstanding students. After a long time, you will form a habit, which will inevitably affect your mentality and actions, resulting in incredible changes, making falsehoods come true, and finally becoming an outstanding student.When we jump high, we can't jump high from the ground.If the horizontal pole is raised too high at once, it will also make people daunting.So when jumping high, the horizontal pole is raised a little bit.Whenever a new height appears, you will think that I jumped over that height just now, and now it is only a little higher, and there must be no problem.The same is true for reading: reading without a goal is like a high jump without a horizontal pole. There is no way to establish confidence and it is difficult to make plans.Goals can be big or small, and generally small goals are easier to achieve than big ones.Therefore, when you make a study plan, don't pay too much attention to the integrity of the plan, but try to use a day as a unit to divide a number of small stages and small goals.Just like climbing a mountain, the most important thing is to determine when to climb and what height to climb, and not to think too much about those distant general goals, so that you can reach the top smoothly.

The best way to restore and build confidence is to increase your confidence by achieving small learning goals and ultimately achieve your big learning goals.

President Theodore Roosevelt (Theodore Roosevelt) once said that "firmness and courage" is the most important trait in personality. To achieve great achievements, one must not only be determined to overcome thousands of obstacles, but also be able to win after hard work .Learning requires methods and willingness. Having specific goals will stimulate people's willingness to pursue goals, and then generate a firm and resolute learning fighting spirit.Primary school graduates yearn to enter key high schools, and high school graduates look forward to walking on the campus of Harvard University and receiving education in university classrooms; or those who want to be doctors imagine that they will become capable doctors one day and occupy a place in the medical field .These imaginations have very specific goals, coupled with strong desires, will inevitably inspire firm and resolute fighting spirit.

As we all know, a person's psychological state will affect learning, and the speed of learning varies with the learner's vision and way of accepting learning.If you have an exclusive attitude towards the absorption of information, you will naturally reject what you have learned, and the learning effect will be low; on the contrary, if you hold an inclusive attitude, your absorption of information will be smooth.The characteristics of the so-called exclusive mentality, such as:
1. My intelligence is mediocre, so...

2. Excellent students progress too fast, it is difficult to catch up...

3. This matter is of course easy for you, but I can...

Exclusive mentality keeps us away from our goals, while inclusive thoughts make goals more attainable, such as:

4. My intelligence is average, but my perseverance is amazing, so I am more able to...

5. Outstanding students are making rapid progress. If they don’t keep up now, they will fall behind in the future...

6. This matter is simple for you, believe me it should be no exception?
You have to have an optimistic learning mood, get rid of prejudice, anxiety and restraint, and maintain the idea that everything can be achieved, then learning will become an open world, and the learning effect will be extraordinarily fruitful!
According to the following three learning states, if you practice persistently and make it a habit in your life, you will be able to break through the limitations of old thinking and accelerate the learning effect.

1. Understand the current situation: focus on breathing, read out the words and sentences that can calm the mood from the heart, and pay attention to the coordination of breathing: "Until there is a heat in the chest, which spreads to the cells of the whole body, and then dissipates the heat to the surroundings. Feel yourself in a state of total understanding and mastery of your environment. With continued practice, gradually you will be able to control your thoughts, which in turn aids in learning.

2. Wholehearted devotion: The word "listen" in listening carefully includes ears, eyes, and heart, that is, listening to the information given by the environment with the whole body organs.

3. Absorption and digestion: Combine the first two states, deeply understand the essence of things, quickly absorb and digest them, and interpret them with your own thoughts, and at the same time make them part of your own experience. In this way, the speed of learning will be doubled.

The goal of learning is the motivation for a person to struggle and make his dreams come true.Use the feeling practice in Chapter 1 to put yourself in the future plan and imagine your future situation in the present tense, as if it has already come true. This is a good way to help your personal learning and keep your mind positive. method.

Suppose you want to be a successful musician in the future.You can imagine the grand occasion when the concert was broadcast: the concert hall was full of seats, and even the square was crowded with people standing and listening to the loudspeaker broadcasting their own performance in the hall. Soaring through music.At the end of the performance, the applause from the audience and the cry of "one more" continued for a long time. The curtain call has not yet ended three times, and I have succeeded.

What successful people have in common is that they have clear learning goals and eager pursuits, and strive to implement them.After attending an international conference, Locke, the financial manager of DuPont, met the attendees who went with him fluently in French. After returning, Locke decided to work hard to learn French so that his French was as fluent as the attendee.For half a year, he read French newspapers and listened to French radio programs every day, and soon achieved his goal. His French level has greatly improved, and he can also communicate with French people fluently.You should often use the feeling method to practice the imagination of the achievements you hope to achieve in the future, so that your mind can keep this kind of forward-looking goal at any time, which will improve a person's spiritual level, and then generate the motivation to struggle, urging you to seek the realization of your future dreams accomplish.

learn in joy
When we are in a good mood, our brains are at their best learning state.We all have this experience. After being bedridden for a long time, when we meet the loved ones we miss so much, we will immediately feel that our illness is half cured.Annoyed and irritable in the heart, delicacies of mountains and seas can't arouse appetite.The same is true for reading. If you are in a good mood, you can read it, and the effect is very good.When you are in a bad mood, it is difficult to read it, the effect is extremely poor, and you don't know what you read after reading it for a long time.

Professor Garthier of the Center for Psychological Research at Harvard University once conducted an interesting experiment.He divided 51 students into two groups; one group attended the class in a pleasant way, and the other group attended the class in an unpleasant way. After 3 weeks, it was found that most of the students who attended classes in a pleasant atmosphere could remember more things, and they would not forget them for a long time.In the other group of students, the situation was significantly worse. They had difficulty remembering what they had learned.

This experiment shows that mood can restrict the effect of reading.In other words, whoever can effectively control his mood and maintain a happy and relaxed state all the time can read more effectively with less effort.

Appropriately adjust the original study plan, and deal with the small things in mind as soon as possible. This is an important method for self-regulation:
If your lack of concentration is due to encountering unsatisfactory things and being unable to escape for a while, you can no longer use the "self-feeling" method.While "trying to open up as much as possible", the best way is to properly adjust the original reading plan and progress.

For example, when it comes to reading French, you can change to do your favorite math problems; you originally planned to read 10 pages of the book before drinking coffee, but you can only read 8 pages instead.In short, if you blindly force yourself to do things according to the original plan, especially doing things you don't like to do, it will only make your mood worse and the results worse.
