Learn Like an Athlete

Learn Like an Athlete – David Perrel.

There’s nothing particularly earth-shattering about this short essay, but I have been surprised at how few people really know how to learn something in a focused, organized fashion. I think this is the result of our education system, in which teachers organize your learning for you. It’s the Mama Bird going out and finding the Worm of Knowledge and shoving it down students' only partly opened beaks. As a result, after they leave school and never learn anything again. But I think a lot of people are hungry to learn, but don’t quite know how to do it on their own.
