LIFELONG LEARNING STRATEGY

Every person starts learning from his birth date. Firstly we learn speaking, walking and then we go to the school, then study at university or college and so on. We learn all our life because there are lots of new things which we should learn about. So what is the best strategy of lifelong learning?Firstly we shouldn't learn too much information at the same time. If we do it we can't remember anything after few days.The second thing is that we should use visual aid while we are learning. It is easier to remember things when you see it, than when you read theory. Of course it is better to use both things, but if I had to choose one thing I'd prefer visual aids.The third thing is that we should concentrate while we are learning. We shouldn’t listen to music while we are learning. We should think only about that subject and make us interesting in it. If we don’t do it, our learning will be worthless. The main thing which we shouldn’t forget is that learning makes us cleverer!
