The principles Flashcards
Principle 1 learning vs winning the system
At school you learn for getting good grades. You don’t learn because you think that it is fun. You are afraid to fail. You are learning for a status.
Learning should be the opposite. When it is hard and you don’t understand keep trying. You get stuck you don’t get good grades keep learning. But you should enjoy the ride.
Principle 2 What is success?
For some of us success is money or being very smart. However the one that are very successful have something in common and it is drive and persistens. You can be smart as a child and people keep telling you that but when you encounter obstacle you are lost because you think that being smart should do the trick. Someone that is less smart will instead keep trying and keep training and practising until he or she get it.
Principle 3 the obstacle
When you have an obstacle in front of you, you must switch your mindset and make the obstacle something that will help you to get better. It’s challenge, it’s an opportunity to learn something new.
Principle 4 the dip
It is important to know when it is time to stop. When you see that it is a dead end. Just leave it.
Principle 5 compound learning
It is good to learn a bit everyday that trying to squeeze everything in one day or week. If you learn 1 hour every day you will learn far more than someone trying to learn the same thing in 4 intense days.
Principle 6 failure don’t count
What is important is what you achieve today. That you failed 10 times before doesn’t matter. Everyone will remember you as the one who succeed and not the one who failed. Getting role in add is an example.
Principle 7 Choice vs chore
Doing the dishes is a chore. It’s not fun and you get bored very quickly. If learning is a chore it will happen the same. Make learning a choice and it will be fun and it will work in the long run.
Principle 8 it’s all in the frame
It simply means that you have to see thing in different perspective all the time. If you think that you suck tell yourself that it’s because you are learning and that you’ll get better at it.
Principle 9 the parito principle
What are the 20% that make 80 % of the results. Don’t learn hard but learn efficiently instead.
Principle 10 You must be happy to learn
