Eating an elephant

How do we learn a seemingly complicated new subject?

How do you eat an elephant?

Take one bite at a time. Don’t look at the elephant and get overwhelmed or try to swallow the whole thing at once.

The first law of learning is repetition. You need to read, re-read, listen, re-listen, watch and re-watch the subject matter again and again, and apply all of the important points daily until they are firmly embedded into your being.

Life is one long learning process.

Every day is fresh, a clean slate, an opportunity to create or re-create. We shouldn't stop learning, however old we are.
