Learning Anything by trying different learning methods

http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/tim_ferriss_smash_fear_learn_anything.html

Tim Ferris proves that we can learn anything IF we can find the correct learning method. So the effort (bulk of it) has to be made to find the correct method if the one being tried at the moment is not working for you. Once we hit upon the correct method for us, our learning in that discipline will 'take off'.

'Take off' is the appropriate phrase here as the learning literally takes off once we hit the correct method. Watch the above video to find out how quickly Time Ferris learnt swimming, Tango, and mutiple languages ONCE he hit upon the right method.

So, from now on, if I find learning something difficult, I am not going to blame my 'grasping power', but will blame the 'learning method'.
