Step 1: Decide exactly what you want.
Step 2: Deconstructing the skills.
Step 3: Researching just enough to identify, understand and self correct most important sub skills. Don't allow research to procrastinate you. Best approach is to go to 3-4 resources and don't complete it by skipping unimportant part.
Step 4: Removing barriers to practice. Make important thing easily accessible.
Step 5: Pre commit at least 20 hours in skills to check how important that skill is for you.
Summary: Choose Learning in the easy way because learning is not hard. It is a little bit of effort for having fun.
Thank you.
Thanks for elaborating
Wola.. Thanks
your amazing
Thanks
I've spent 40 minutes each day procrastinating and now i'm a real master.
hysterical!
lmao
I'm a bigger procrastinator than you.... but we can talk about that later! ;-)
@@Fightergator01 I just procrastinated until the end of the video before sending this answer. master level 2
Silly
'Dont't allow this research to become a form of procrastination itself.' That's a valuable statement right there. I know that I'm guilty of this.
I found this video while researching...ummm...procrastinating.
But what if what you want to learn is an area of knowledge, not a skill?
@@jacobscrackers98
That's exactly what I was thinking!! Then what? I think I know and that means A LOT more than just 20 hours!! The subject I'm thinking of has a lot of micro-subjects and you need to be really good at ALL of those if you want to be good at the main subject, because they ALL tie in together!! Suck at any ONE of the micro-subjects and you will suck at the main subject!!! In other words... Your only going to be as good as your weakest link!
It's not ALL bad, if you know which link is weakest, strengthen it and your good to go!! That's why you should always break things down into so-called "links" that way you can always locate the weak link/links if you have one/some!!
That's exactly what I'm doing right now and didn't realize it until now! Thanks! Lol!!! I am a MASTER procrastinator and I've got way WAY WAY more than 20 hours into it!!!! LOL!!!!
I'm always guilty of this
I really like the way this man communicates. His way of delivering the content. Each of his words are clear, crisp, understandable and leaves a mark in ones mind.
1 set up ur goal
2 break down into smaller goals and steps
3 research on every sub tasks: 3 - 5 resources, focus on resources that repetedly appear
4 remove barriers to pratice , avoid distractions: tv, Internet, friends, social media, focus and force urself to pratice
5 pre-commitment at least 20 hours to make it through (40 mins x 30day)
thank u for ur share with this "common sense".
i don't understand 20 hours. is it 20 hours in 1 day?
Rofl remove distraction "friends" haha
Thank you big Bang, you're my lifesafer 😁💯😏🔥
Practice right before sleep helps in learning better
Light put out "common sense". What he had said many people do it without knowing it. He had just severed it in a plane 🍽.
Me: *Watching this video at 2 am before final exams*
Hahahahah i have beeen through this dont worry u will do great
It's too late lol
Be positive and prepare for next year :)
Its normal.. But not perfect atol😂
hope you did well?
Wow. Amazed at how clearly and persuasively he speaks. Excellent enunciation and smooth delivery. No reading from notes or teleprompters. No stumbling over or repeating words.
Removing distractions is much more important than we all think. Once we let ourselves fall into them, we have to start over again.
As a software engineer who had to learn new things fast, i have to say through experience he is 100% correct. When i first started out 30 years ago i also believed in the 10 year concept. Now using the techniches disscuseed here i have found i can learn a new programming language in about a month if needed
What could you reccomend me for learning Java? I transferred from C++ and it is not hard for now. Maybe you have roadmap or something that can guide me.
Thank you so much. I really needed this
I spent 40 minutes a day for one month so followed your advice and I became a full professor of mathematics. Thank you very much. You changed my life !!
John Edie r u serious?
obviously not
LOL
no, he is sarcastic, obviously!
LOL :D
I will definitely get bald for my first TED talk. It adds to the speaker's credibility.
Doesn't it though? Missing the beard though. Yes I want to look like a generic waif.
Damn! No one will come to listen to a bald wise woman.
Anshum Bhalla I will.
Don't forget the eyewear!
@@googly83in That's a subjective opinion. Sorry, cannot agree with you!
What an amazing talk! I like Josh’s work on the Personal MBA and now this is just amazing. I love how he finds ways to empower others to start and achieve.
1- Define what you want?
2- Deconstruct the skill
3- Research (3 to 4 resources)
4- Remove barriers to practice
5- Pre commit to 20 h practice
I think it's worth watching the whole lecture.
And if you join AT&T get together with someone who has 30 years to learn. the first thing I was told on the job by an old timer is there's no book you can read to learn this job.
@@cat-lw6kq old timers like to hold you back
Not the one I was assigned to ride along with, he was very free with his knowledge. 30 years with the company and held in high regard by everyone that knew him.
@@mannycalavera121 Don't say that- you may have to pry his cold, dead fingers off of what HE knows, but it doesn't prevent you from increasing what YOU know now
@@cherylm2C6671 it's called gatekeeping
A good road map to learning anything. 23 minutes worth anyone's time. Take notes! Thank you for posting.
12:29 "Learning... The process of learning is not difficult." If you don't listen to the whole speech, at least listen to this part. Excellent.
I expect a lot of people struggle with two things: Distraction, and waiting too long choosing the perfect exact thing to study. Choosing to study something may be quite a commitment financially, on resources or on a qualification for it. Distraction I find personally is unsolvable unless I work in a public space like a library, or I'm really interested in something (state of flow). People have finite self control but expect to be able to have infinite, so you've got to force yourself into environments where it's not even needed.
To solve the problem of waiting to decide on the perfect thing to study, realise that you currently aren't doing anything at all, and at least choose something remotely useful after a couple hours of decision making.
If you've got to learn something that is already laid out for you, like if you're studying for your degree, then you've got to both get interested in the subject through youtube videos, understand its importance through a bit of googling, and just force yourself to work on it (e.g. working in a library).
And don't get distracted watching videos like this one like me
Great! I was working on my typing skills and when I started I was like 30 wpm. But after following you I improved it greatly. I can type 120 wpm now. Thanks. I took 40hrs( 20hrs*2). Practicing at night is indeed very helpful.
1, Decide exactly what you want...
2, Deconstructing the skill
3, Researching. Self-correct as you practice.
4, Removing barriers to practice.
5, Pre-commit to at least 20hrs of focused deliberate practice before you begin.
Thanks Josh
thanks for this
Thanks Kelvin, you saved me 24 minutes by not having to finish the video. 😀
Awesome video!
Video games work that way... if you do not master the lower levels you will not get to the next level. Unfortunately elementary schools do not focus on mastery of the base...
Thanks
I've never been good at math but I had to take a course that I was told was very difficult, part of My Critical Thinking course required I memorized and practiced "Quadratic Equations" for a class and I mastered those formulas... How? I lived every moment I had formulas in my purse, car, bathroom, on my desk at home, every where I'd have a minute. When midterms & finals came I aced the course that so intimidated me. It can be done.
Thanks! I'll be memorizing the "Quadratic Equatikns" too so that I can aced my exam like you.
What a waste of time! You do not memorize formulas, you learn to derive them or you've learnt nothing. I suggest you learn some basic factorization and algebra and you'll never have to memorize anything. Exams are useless.
memorizing Quadratic equations might be easy but how do u plan on cracking engineering competitive exams ewww
@@squarerootof2 deriving the quadratic equation is a waste of time. it's like 10 lines. you gonna do that every time you have to find the zeroes of an equation?
@@brendanbenedict31 It's not 10 lines and I didn't say you had to derive it to solve a quadratic equation. There're multiple ways to solve equations but if you don't know where the basic form for a quadratic equation comes from and how to derive the formula to solve ALL of them, then you know nothing. Try to learn something Brendan, memorizing will not get you very far.
Thanks. Last week I worked as a fishmonger in Tesco. But this week, thanks to you, I have in less than 20 hours become Britain's Top Gun Typhoon pilot. You have saved the RAF a fortune--all the other pilots needed at least 1, 000 hours.
I found your speech in the right time, thanks a lot professor. Definitely I will start your advice from this moment .
I am an intuitive artist to begin with and I also agree on those steps. For me focusing is been the biggest struggle of my life, I’ve got better over the years. Today I am interested in learning as many skills I can to create a fulfilling life.
I don’t know my future career and I do my best not to panic about it.
Thank you Josh and great video!
The way I learn a new skill is like this. Say if I have 1 hour to learn that new skill, I spend 40 min only to get the concept / principle of that skill clear, I mean very very very clear. The remaining 20 odd min are more than enough to learn the technicalities of that new skill. As a learned person has once said "Learning any new skill without understanding the CONCEPT, is like riding a Mercedes without engine." That learned person is me, of course. Lovely video though :)
I accidentally hit upon the link to this video, which has been posted seven years ago. I wish I had watched it the day it first appeared. The presentation is really impressive. Like it very much. Better late than never.
Thanks for confirming and giving me some validation to steps-to-learning that I previously subconsciously defined to myself. This confirmation will really have me more focus and on target with my goals, because now I will feel a sense of authority with my method to learning.
Practical. Thanks. Probably just beginning to watch such a video puts the viewer of the video in the category of being more ready to learn (about) at topic.
I think the essence in good learning is how you align the studies with your ultimate pursuit in your life
I was struggling to learn English almost 15 years, but one day I decided just to use it as an instrument - I started to do search in English only, whole my computer and programs were switched to English, I watched movies only in English - and voila! I speak it as like it's my mother tongue. You have to tell your brain that what you learn is not only a thing you like to do, but also a very necessary one.
Thanks Lex Luther

Think positive and be positive make your dream to be best in the world you would be at that place. for that you need to follow the same steps. i believe this will work and i am going to start practice from today on wards.Thanks Josh Kaufman.
How is it going?
This presentation is highly necessary for children, teens as well as adults....This should be played at every school in the country, at least once a week.
8:24
"It's extremely important to make sure you aren't distracted by outside forces..
1- Turn off the TV
2- Block the internet
3- Close the door
4- Turn off your cell phone "
i don"t think blocking the internet would help...It"s like asking people to stop having food .....If we have self control that's enough😊😊😊
@@kabotohaye8666
True 👍
Actually u might need using the internet for developing your skills or understanding the contents of your courses
Amazing. Thank you Mr Josh Kaufman.
Truly magnetic and deeply thought provoking, inspiring!! I'm in awe of this person's radiant positivity! Thank you. 20 hours. 20 hours. I can start with that.
Excellent! I prefer shorter videos, but this was well worth the time. Learned on several levels - not just how to learn, but how to present without slides, how to entertain, how to connect the audience with a personal experience, and LOVE "I love THAT song!" Great job, thanks, Josh!
I was a lecturer. I started following your ways to learn things faster. And, now I am an uber driver. Thanks for changing my life.
Very nice bro
Do u like it?
😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao
😂😂😂😂😂
One of the most encouraging, inspirational and amazing videos in my life ! You are doing an awesome job. God bless you
yes this is so simple but would not have learned this skill in itself without coming across this video. Very well put and now I am going to have my son watch this whom is 14 now and this is very important to get him into more activities and a sense of confidence, self esteem all this he could get from implementing whats in this video Thank you for it. Love it.
Watched this video nearly 2 years ago, and talked my woman into learning s'thing in this way. She decided to learn to play the flute and plays now classical music, Pink Floyd, Pop, Jazz, folklore on the flute, went from beginner to advanced level, coming from zero.
Thank you, Sir! You made a difference in this world.
This guy is the guy I was looking for. I've found him again.
Thank you, young Charles Xavier.
How to Learn Anything - Fast! (click Read more for my notes)
learn a Skill, be fun and exiciting
Dr ericcsion's idea - 10,000 hours rule - required to master
deliberate systematic practicing to master
it's not true that one requires 10,000 hours
A skill from nothing to good takes about 20 hours
40 minutes a day for a month
This method has 5 steps
1. Decide exactly what u want - be clear about it
2. Break apart the skill into its smaller parts
practice as individual skill
3. Self Correct: Pick 3-5 resources - identify the ideas coming again and again
4. Get on with the practice - avoid distractions
5. Make it easier to approach the skill by removing delay to access
like unpacking a guitar, when u can have it near u
Commit on 20 hours or don't start
early hours are frustrating
beginning is boring, go through it
Pre Commit that you'd do 20 hours of effort
Learning a Skill is:
A Focused Strategic Effort invested in something u care about,
Something which is going to be rewarding to u in your life
- The process of learning is not difficult
-
3 phases of learning
1. cognitive - really thinking about it
2. Interrelating - starting to do on your own
3. automatic
10000 hours rule is still valid. If you can learn something within 20 hours, they are just easy and low value skills. Nobody will pay you more than minimum wage for that.
@@20cmusic 10,000 hours is good if you want to get to expert level. If you want to learn something at a level where you can do it without embarrassing yourself, 20 hours is a good start.
Thanks a lot guy.
Asif Ali Rizwaan thanks for the summary!
@@jerriclemons3718
So true, I've been playing the drums for about 41 years!! Started at 13 and now I'm 54 and I can honestly say that after only 20 hours of learning how to play the drums, that still puts you deep in embarrassing yourself stage!! LOL!!
If I block the internet, I could not watch this priceless video. It is not about blocking, it is about discipline in first place.
Thank you very much for the inspiration. I have just started to try to learn to play the diatonic accordion, the cajun accordion. You give me hope. And I'm giving it at least a half an hour to 40 minutes a day for at least 20 hours and then I'll go from there. Thank you again
Excellent! "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
one of the best teachings method how he went from something scientific to demonstrate through art, he absolutelly stole the show
And touches your emotions through his humor. Does not come across as humorous in first half, thats what makes the medley so funny. Makes me want to learn the eukalalie.
Thank you, I found what I was looking for.
I think it is important for every generation that wants to feed its knowledge throughout life.
Wow. I never cease to be amazed by modern science. So like if you practice stuff you get better at it. Research shows that the more you do something, the better you may be at it. Simply mind boggling. Who knew? Who would have guessed? This generation is the first one to think and figure stuff out.
Great talk!
Guys, do not overreact. "Ignorance may be absolute, but knowledge is always relative". In no way you can learn one thing even in 10k hours and be done with the learning process. Technology advances, knowledge expands with new discoveries in the field you're learning, and by the time you're done with your 10k hours there is new data you need to learn to keep being an expert in your field! Since even 10000 hours cannot guarantee that you'll become an expert once and for all (don't miss previous four words) and be done with learning process forever, what can you expect from 20 hours?! Well, the answer is in the video! You'll have one (or few) skills you are good at, and a pretty good idea if you want to keep on going with the learning process. Nothing else was promised! However, if you don't start this relatively short 20 hour walk, you won't know/be able to do the things you learned in this time period.
So, instead of focusing on the index finger of the speaker please look in the direction he's pointing. (:
It's amazing how many people will focus on the number 20, instead of the crux of the argument, which is the five step process that he identified to make learning a process that can be strategically executed.
Yes, but most people didn't finish the video to hear those 5 steps. He actually has good concrete advice.
Those same people were looking for a easier way to learn that actually taking responsibility for themselves and actually doing anything that they feel is too much work. Those same people will be the poor wretches wanting a hand out.

Wow! You rock! My late husband was a professional guitarist. When people continually stumbled over a part of the tune, he'd tell them just to focus on those few chords or notes over and over, at any time, rather than go back to the beginning. It was extremely effective. The young had dexterity but struggled with discipline. The older had less dexterity but didn't try to run before they could walk it.
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS THANK YOU!
love the difference in sitting posture between the two guys at 25' on. Amazing just looking at the two of them sitting you get very different impression
I noticed this too, very strong posture from Josh, and the man on the right seemed very relaxed and slouched.
Another important factor is the "level of interest" in whatever you want to learn. Be as passionate as possible in those 40 mins to reach your goal!!!
15:40 Kawaii ne! you can tell that instrument, makes him happy! That smile he tries to tuck away... I hope he still plays! :)

So south African...ne!
If he tried to play 'All The Things You Are' in G sharp by Irving Berlin, he would learn in just 20 seconds that the chord and key changes in the first eight bars would rapidly undermine his enthusiasm and give him a headache to go to bed with, or tried to play 'You Go To My Head' in B sharp followed by another sophisticated wonderful song...
'Laura' in D flat.
However, he could soon master 'Knees up Mother Brown' and play it very well indeed.
Sugoi desu ne~
Loooove this so much, the message and the delivery
I put this concept to a test on myself..I quit school years ago and I always wanted to learn math atleast get to college level math.. but the thing I did differently was that I put more than 40 minutes a day to a couple of hours a day and in 2 months ..just by repetition..I learned Math from about a 7th grade level and I am now in college level math..I believe that if you want to learn something ..you can just by doing a little bit each day like he says ..
The early hours of practicing your skill are frustrating. The recipe is to repeat! repeat! repeat!.......Wow Thank you so much Josh!...... Excellent video!
This guy is Awesome, I'm going to try this. Thanks..
Great podcast. Focused, strategic effort. Remove all the barriers that limit your learning or commitment to learn.
This is a great video!!! Thank you. Very educational and I will use this daily.
It takes smartness and courage to master something.
This is very true, I watched this video about a year ago, I applied his teaching when learning piano, Python & photoshop. And I've learned so much!
What can you do from a years worth of Python practice? I'm just starting out.
Brilliant, thanks Josh, I do have a guitar that is idly waiting , you have given me the incentive to carry on learning.
Saitama out here teaching us how he got to God Level of Power

13 minutes in and I got the message, I strategically opted out of the rest of the video to go study something I care about. Thanks
Real Deal lol
Then you missed his music medley which was worth the price of admission.
😂😂😂😂
Happy Days that was the best part
You were absolutely right! Thanks!
Your guitar playing is a perfect communication that your idea works. You are really good at what you do.
I found this video extremely educational, inspiring, eye-opening, logical, and most important....Do-able..... very happy I tuned in to watch
one of the best speeches I have listened

@Bro Ski Because it'll only take me a few months to get there yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
I think that by hearing, reading, saying what you have learned out loud, then writing what you have learned done and finally repeating these steps at least 5 times will allow for you to learn so much quicker than normal.
This 20 minutes video about 20 hours method has changed my life ....I am from Yemen
Awesome very helpful i got my problem solved. thanks josh.
I thought he made this very clear. There's a lot of comments here like "it doesn't work for X" or "that's not true! it depends on the activity!".
The point he's trying to make, is that it DOESNT TAKE 10,000 HOURS TO BECOME GOOD AT SOMETHING! This is an important differentiation. Many people, with the help of human-kind's natural tendency for laziness, avoid doing difficult things, like learning something new. He's addressing the point that a new reason people use for avoiding learning these days is the idea that"what's the point of trying, it'll take me 10,000 hours, I don't have that kind of time". Which, as he points out, is wildly inaccurate. In fact, to become decidedly competent in most anything, you only need to apply yourself for about 20 hours.
The commenters who fiercely defend the idea that 20 hours isn't enough, are just throwing up yet another boundary or obstacle for themselves and others. This video is meant to inspire you to have a go. I mean come on! he played a ukulele after supposedly only practicing for 20 hours! Now I want to learn the guitar!
Robnoxious77 Deep understanding, I fully agree with you.
Preach! That's exactly his point! Thanks for emphasizing! Some people love living in their fancy comfort zone.
🖒
GOOD COMMENTARY...THANKYOU!
I disagree entirely. You miss the point entirely. He said "Good" not expert, not professional, but GOOD. He said you improve with each new learning sequence. Your criticism is entirely unfounded and invalid. This inspired me and I will return to learn a couple of skills I've always wanted to master and could not get over the hurdle: I will learn Arabic, Russian, Pashto and a few other language skills. People like yourself who discourage and criticize are merely another obstacle to be brushed aside.
honestly i procrastinated the whole day just to watch this video and i wish i had watched it sooner, thank you for allowing me to open up a new path to do things (:
This is absolutely encouraging for my situation right now, as i am reviewing for my CPA board exam....Thank you so much fo sharing this....God Bless you ...Thank you so much...it is so empowering...
The best part for me was discovering myself in the context of the way my life path was. Everything I know now I know for sure. Everything I learn now its stay because I am still in other areas that would have been a distraction to my growth.
Learning is not linear.
I think several people are missing the intention of what he is actually saying. He is speaking to the process of learning and how 20 hours is sufficient to breakthrough to capability for further knowledge. Its is a realistic starting point. Listen to 11:31 to 11:59. That's it.
With a focused strategic effort and 20 hours you get results based, committed effort and ample skill and, "you will be astounded". You will become "good". Nowhere does he say you will be a master... like the '10,000 hour rule' evidence shows.
Anyway, in my experience 20 hours or less of focused effort is sufficient. It depends on so many factors. Personal capability, purpose/motivation, interest, mood, emotion, focus, culture, etc.
Robert I agree with you. Some people have a mind like a sponge and many others do not and therefore takes them long to comprehend anything.
Then that's what he should have said and saved us all a bunch of time and having to listen to him sing. Anyway, I don't think I agree with the premise, but food for thought.
I get it but those that do not are the ones that do not want to put in any effort to gain that knowledge. They only want to complain about how someone or the government etc screwed them over because they did not gain the knowledge needed to be able to protect themselves from being hoodwinked.
You're being very charitable - he does make the clear claim that 20-40 hours is enough to get "very good" at something. If he'd said it's enough to make a motivating start and see come concrete progress I'd have agreed, but that's not what he claimed. If you really think you can become "very good" at speaking Japanese or playing the violin in 20 hours, you're simply delusional.
I agree, either you're overconfident and overrate your own skills by the end of 20 hours (seems to be the American way these days) or you are a person with total recall--and that's very rare. This video and this guy themselves are evidence of what overrating one's own ability can lead to: other people wasting their time watching something they hoped to learn from, but instead, just come away scratching their heads, asking, "How does this make any sense, and if this guy is right, why isn't he good at his music?"
Love this talk and you guys did a great job, the playing was excellent, an my favourate
Oh so very True, in everything you have said and done! Loved it! Thank you for sharing.
Loved the ukulady 4 chords concept
"Lady"?
Cool Thanks!! I just started learning to speak french and have been practicing before bed, coincidentally. I thought it was coming pretty easy! I can't wait to commit to the 20 hours and see how it goes for me!
how did it go with you
I was a professional dancer and I‘m teaching now about 20 years and I nearly say the same to my students! Like „ you will be frustrated that your brain get‘s it but your body does something else…Stop thinking about if it’s good or bad, just do it! …As a dancer before I went to sleep I get over the choreography‘s in my mind …well, everything he says is right for me!
Thank you, this is really good teaching for me !
Really interesting! this is applicable also for reviewing and taking board examinations.
Excellent delivery gets to the heart of your topic.
Most enjoyable, indeed! I am keeping this piece! Thank you.
Incredible insight. My journey to learning how to become an outstanding writer begins.
So true, am working on my self, to learn new staff in my life...waooo your good you can sing..👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
A truly amazing presentation! Great work!
this is a great learning video for those who have an attention deficit. I enjoyed this!
How to watch a movie on Netflix:
1- Describe what you want from the movie
2- Deconstruct the elements of your description (a certain actor, types of scenes)
3- Research 3 to 4 resources or videos on youtube; ie, "movies with (desired actor/actress)" or "movies with (type of scene)"
4- Remove barriers to watching (avoid watching more videos or reading too many reviews, silence your phone's notifications, etc)
5- Pre commit to 2 hours of watching
Just pick and watch the dang movie, steps 1-5 should take between 3 to 8 minutes.
Quite simple principle, the key is always ourselves for all these kind of methods. Keep constancy effort on the targets u set
10:44I do not blindly agree. If it's something you ever wanted to do and you do have fun and great feelings WHILE doing it, its way more in the opposite way, that you do have fun on it before cause you know you'll be doing it, and you'll be having fun learning it. But at this point, the good feeling is consistently going down while coming a bit back up when reaching some subgoals.That's at least my opinion, obviously not on every Goal, but at some it is.
Yeah I agree with that mostly. However consider learning bad habits. If you learn something by just having fun with it - you're more likely yo focus on the fun bits and maybe not the boring essentials. So long term your learning may be capped and you'll have been doing to skill for years without reaching a high level.
U r just amazing...yar
The way u talked..👍
The way u played guitar.. 😍
I just love it.❤❤
Kaufman is in fact telling us what we already know, that is; step by step little by little or in other words, practice makes perfect. Anyone with brains knows this. The reason for his smug talk and the inordinate length of his talk is simply this; a sales pitch for his book and a lift to his Ego. That is the primary reason for many talks and presentations in the first place. If you did not know this, Now you do. Good luck with whatever you are undertaking people.
When a lawyer quits His Job and Starts giving lectures how to learn Ukulele. Awesome
I think Josh has shared some great wisdom about learning a new skill... I’ve used these techniques for 30+ yrs and he’s spot on in his deconstruction.
It takes five things to learn something as fast as possible.
- Time
- concentration
- A goal and a target object
- Motivation through moments of success during learning.
- Try and Error to learn from oneself, in order to strengthen their learning curve and knowledge. (The learning by doing method).
Result: Excited motivation is the kickstarter and accelerator of learning. The more motivation you get, the faster you learn.
Love you Creator....
Really love you....
Amazing you are..!!
I salute your experience..... Your lesson... Your learning process......
