How Do You Become An Adult Self Learner?
People who are truly effective generally did not get that way by sitting still, and learning doesn’t stop just because school does. Make a commitment to yourself to learn something new every day. Then, keep at it and enjoy what you discover. • Not everyone learns from books. Learn how you learn. Determine your own preferred learning style or styles. Notice what learning techniques are most effective for you and use them as much as is practical. • Most people learn through multiple methods but favor one or two. Use your preferences to your advantage. • Learn where your talents and interests lie. Try many different things. • Look at learning as an exploration and opportunity, not a chore. Don’t force yourself to learn things just because they’re important. Instead, learn things that you need to learn alongside things you love to learn. Follow your heart, as well as your sense of duty. • Read, read, read. Make friends with your local library and new and used book sellers. • Read all sorts
