RE: Learn Anything - Perfection Through Practice
Wanna share this quote I found to be powerful:-
One of the most damaging and widespread social beliefs is the idea that most adults are incapable of learning new skills.
by Naval Ravikant
School should focus on producing people, who when leaving school, are curious and eager to learn.
Absolutely! It seems that school is geared toward teaching people how to be cogs in a machine rather than how to be innovative, think outside of the box and be leaders.
It would be so beneficial to society if our education systems could produce more self reliant citizens. Well, obviously working as a community is also important, but I meet too many kids who just don't know how to figure things out and are actually repelled by anything that even slightly smells educational.
I totally agree, the most important thing school should teach us is to have a critical spirit and curiosity. Then work discipline (the practice) is also very important. Learning a musical instrument is perhaps the best example, there is nobody out there that mastered an instrument without practicing for hours, every day, for many years.
I'm a self made programmer, just because I have a critical spirit and curiosity. It's happened a long time ago when my school provides a programming class. After about 2 sessions they stop it. Started from there my spirit and curiosity boost up and I cannot stop it.
It's sad when you see older people thinking that they are unable to learn new stuff.
please follow
I agree with you @kevinwong , and I don't like this it cause peception that only young ones can learn new skills and this prevents employers hire candidates who are above 35 or 40. Sad, this MUST be changed.
Yes. I just published a quote that you might like https://steemit.com/quote/@vdux/quote-of-the-day-december-9-2017. It's a quote about your mindset when facing
a challenge. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts -- also @adsactly and anybody else who reads this post.
I completely agree with this quote! We should all think about our natural skills but we should also continuously improve them and try to make the best out of it.
Have a good day!
