- Be thirsty and hungry for knowledge - In order to acquire knowledge, you must first have strong desire for them. If you have a rather weak and fading motivation for them, you can just forget about reading the following lines.
- Know what you really need to know - The earlier you realize this, the faster you could blow up your entire shelf of ill-picked books. Extermination of books containing none of your area of studies should be executed right away.
- Identify the "true" sources of information - Have you discovered the power of the internet? Oops..., WRONG question! I should have asked: Have you utilized your new-found knowledge to its full extent? It is very true that loads of information can be found throughout the web, textbooks, journals, etc. But, you need to seriously pick only information of the highest priority.
- Repeat to remember - Please........please DO NOT trust theories claiming that you can develop long-lasting memory effortlessly. Everything etched in your long-term memory must somehow be constantly rehearsed from time to time. Otherwise, they will sooner or later be blown away by the wind.
- Use imagery - That part of our brain called the visual cortex, the brain center that processes visual stimuli can greatly reduce our learning time in areas especially anatomy, chemistry (yup phytochemistry too!), biology and many more. Now you know why "A picture is worth thousands of words."
Most of you might say, "Siapa tak tahu cara-cara ini. Kita dah tahu awal-awal lagi. Cikgu dah lama ajar kita semua." Think again. How many of us have truly realized and acquired these HOW TO LEARN skills? So...., what are you guyz waiting for? Bring your hidden-for-too-long brilliant, intelligent nature to life NOW! Though some of you might be skeptical about these, but hey, you have got nothing to lose. In the end, you would either gain SOMETHING or NOTHING.
