Learning How to Learn Good evening. Today's lecture is about the phrase "learning how to learn". I remember reading that learning how to learn is one of the best skills you can develop. That phrase "learning how to learn" got stuck in my head and I turned that concept over and over in my mind and asked myself: "Do we have to learn how to learn?" After thinking about it, I've realized that learning is something so natural that we don't even recognize that we're doing it because we get so caught up in the process of it. Most of us associate learning as something difficult, something reserved for extremely intelligent people, but that is not the case at all. I think the biggest indicator that will tell you how much you will learn is what makes you want to learn in the first place. I know that sounds pretty obvious, but that single factor is very important as you'll soon see. Take for example, learning the latest accounting rules because your job requires it as opposed to learning about cars because that's something you like. If you have to learn something, you'll only learn as much as you're required to - in other words the absolute minimum, but if you want to learn something, the sky's the limit.
