• There is no need to envy those who are naturally gifted.
  • Keep track on everything!
  • Whether you are naturally competent or stupidly bad at a thing, you can always chunked down everything into the dumbest smallest ideas to start grasping from there.

  • Science and sport have different method of learning.
    • Science is more about learning instead of training.
    • Science is more into understanding on how theories are working.
    • Sport obviously use more memory brain than when you are learning science.
    • Analogy and metaphor works better in learning science I think.
  • Nevertheless, conventional explanation works in setting the base knowledge.
  • Experts are trained to make complex decision rapidly. These are some examples.
    • Doctor.
    • Pilot.
  • Self consciousness is not good to be used when making complex decision rapidly.
  • The ideas and theories that you already have in mind can be a blockade to new ideas/knowledges.
  • So, there is a benefit of being stupid because easier to process new ideas. Whereas smarter people tends to stuck with the ideas that they have learn.
    • New thought can be easily go through your brain.
  • Smaller working memory make easier for you to generalize what you have learning in new way.
  • Smaller working memory does not locked you on learning new things.
  • For example, the discovery of electric lamp did not come from constant iteration of candle.
  • Nevertheless, create chunks. A lot of it. Because chunk could be used in many other unrelated subject.
  • Deliberately practices in the hardest part.
  • There is this imposter syndrome. Impostor syndrome (also known as impostor phenomenon or fraud syndrome) is a term coined in 1978 by clinical psychologists Dr. Pauline R. Clance and Suzanne A.
