The Feynman Technique to Learn anything
A better learning system that will improvise the new learning appetite in you and will make you more progressive and forward.
Why do we need to learn something new ? What is the purpose behind learning ?
We learn something new , because it insights curiosity inside us , it allows us to think more at a deeper level and makes our understanding about something more clear .
When we learn something , it makes us Knowledgeable , drives righteousness inside us, drives us to take actions , makes us feel better , embrace curiosity inside us , sparks thoughts of creativity and Innovations in us , makes us to think for a better future and most Importantly it helps to develop a better human in us .
So , I think that it’s very important for every individual to keep on learning something new as when we make ourselves more learned and Knowledgeable , we lead the thread of humanity to a better place and we open a better opportunity for younger generations so that they could also learn something new and become a better version of themselves.
Professor Feynman is said to be known as one of the most prestigious and extraordinary men in human history. And his techniques and methodology are also well-known for years . So let’s learn a little bit more about his learning methods :
Feynman has derived 4 Important steps to learn something new :
Step 1 : Identify a Topic
Step 2 : Try to explain it to a 5-year-old.
Step 3 : Study to fill in Knowledge gaps
Step 4 : Organize , convey and review .
Step 1 : Identify a Topic
In order to learn something new , the first thing we need to acknowledge is to which topic we need to learn or on which topic we need to strengthen our skills more. When we realize our topic or niche that we need to work on , it then becomes much easier for us to dive deeper into the learning process and it makes our learner better .
Step 2 : Try to explain it to a 5-year-old kid
The next process to advance your learning and strengthen your learning skills is to explain it to a 5 year old kid .
“True genius doesn't make simple things complicated ,
But they have the ability to make Complicated things simple. “
Step 3 : Study to fill in the Knowledge gaps
The next Important step to learning is to try to fill in the Knowledge gaps as much as possible . If you are weak at something or if you’ve not understood the concepts very well try to fill in the knowledge gaps. Try to grasp more of the concepts and make your understanding better . Surround yourselves among people who have a deeper level of Knowledge on that topic and study to learn something new from them.
Step 4 : Organize , convey and review
The last step is to organize the concepts that you’ve learnt so far ,i.e. Make a clear and better understanding out of it , then convey those concepts and learning and review them accordingly . Give yourself a reward , whenever you’ve accomplished/solved a difficult problem or solutions .This will make you strive to give more to yourself and encourage you to move forward.
Don’t make your concepts complex and complicated , try to make it as simple as possible : conceptualize your learning process and organize everything accordingly .
Simple is beautiful.
I’ve followed this beautiful method and I’m in love with this and I also want you all to do the same . Follow your learning and make yourself a better learner everyday.
