How to Learn Stuff Quickly
What a strange article.<p>First, there is no need to put pressure on yourself to learn 'quickly' - that's counter productive.<p>Second, you need to find a good teacher.<p>Finding good teachers <i>is</i> how you learn 'quickly'. Now the way to do that is to have parents who can help you.<p>Really, the way to learn 'quickly', is to be born into a family that's loving and competent at life. Then it just happens - by the time you develop the ability and interest in looking around to figure out what's going on, you'll have been in after-school activities and a good school for like 10 years.<p>There's a bit of an escape hatch - if you're good at academics or sports, you'll get to have secondary father/mother figures and that'll be your chance to catch up. If you don't, you're kind of fucked :)<p>If you weren't born with loving and competent parents, you'll be floundering through-out life, in relationships, in your career, in lack of self esteem. It's a near guarantee, because whatever short comings your parents had, you'll be solving and then some. That's just how life goes.<p>Anyhoo :)
