Taking the next step is always difficult.....

The journey continues with this second blog post. I’ve been thinking about how easy it would be to skip writing today but that’s just being lazy! The previous blog taught us about how important it is to keep persevering and to never quit.

The Education Hustle shares views and opinions on the different challenges we encounter as we learn. So many view “being educated” as a destination.....once we’ve finished writing that exam, it’s all over.....but that’s short-sightedness. Education is a never-ending process whereby we are challenged with adversity and obstacles. We all have a goal in mind and so often students give-up because they’re not moving quickly towards the goal, or they get so overwhelmed that they stop learning all together and a mental-block is created.

In a YouTube video by Tony Robbins titled “Time of your Life”, he talks about the concept of “chunking” in order to achieve our goals. Education is a series of “chunks” of information which we consider and draw new ideas or skills from. To learn, we need to be able to break down large concepts into easy-to-understand examples. It’s much easier to recall examples than it is to memorise and repeat a textbook word-for-word. Examples provide more valuable insight as context is created. Theory isn’t easy to remember but when theory is applied practically to a specific scenario, this example helps us to memorise and understand the concept being taught. Every complicated concept or theory can be simplified into more easily understandable “chunks”.

Tony Robbins also tells us that “Change is never a matter of ability, it’s a matter of motivation and drive”. I want to continue writing more blog posts daily to help more readers around the world by sharing different views on the way we pursue education. Taking the next step is always so difficult but we need to realise that it’s the action of taking steps that actually creates the learning process. No student would ever learn anything if they weren’t willing to do what’s necessary to achieve success....blogpost-by-blogpost...page-by-page...question-by-question....step-by-step........
