http://cn.wsj.com/big5/20141004/lif105708.asp?source=rss 这里有一个原则同学们要记住：不重要的学术作品大可不读，但重要的要反复重读，读多遍。不要相信重要作品的简化阐释，因为作者究竟怎样想我们不可能从简化的阐释中学到。 -
http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_47841af70102ux5w.html Rarely will I get through every section of every book. The idea is to create a kind of dialogue among the authors, identifying points of overlap and difference. Very often, the ideas from one book will trigger ideas that have you scouring the other books for elaboration. The mixture of ideas from several books will lead to a thought that is not contained in any of the books. When you read in parallel, it's like being in the room while the authors are conversing. The intersecting of ideas almost always stimulates fresh ways of thinking about (and applying) the topic at hand. -

https://betterhumans.coach.me[..]of-my-scholarship-and-study-68d1c35dd0d5 How And Why To Keep A “Commonplace Book” -
https://ryanholiday.net/how-and-why-to-keep-a-commonplace-book/ So is there a way to speed up how quickly we can comprehend a word? When we read our inner voice sometimes vocalises the words in our head, and some suspect that this might slow us down. Could banishing that voice make a difference? Not necessarily. Internal vocalising might be helping us to understand what’s happening, according to research by eye-tracking psychologist Mallorie Leinenger.
But the good news is that there is a way of learning to read faster, and that is to practise. Again, we are not just limited by our vision. What matters is how fast you can identify a word – a process that is faster when the word is more familiar. So the more you read, the faster you can get. -

These 3 Hacks Will Make You Remember More -
https://betterhumans.coach.me[..]will-make-you-remember-more-b30a3d9b3136 When trying to memorise new material, it’s easy to assume that the more work you put in, the better you will perform. Yet taking the occasional down time – to do literally nothing – may be exactly what you need. Just dim the lights, sit back, and enjoy 10-15 minutes of quiet contemplation, and you’ll find that your memory of the facts you have just learnt is far better than if you had attempted to use that moment more productively. -

http://www.bbc.com[..]-ways-you-could-become-a-memory-champion In animals, weight training appeared to promote the creation of new neurons in the memory centers of the brain. -
https://www.nytimes.com[..]w-weight-training-changes-the-brain.html The method works something like this: you use a familiar environment, such as your home, and walk through the environment associating information (like words or digits) you want to remember with various objects or scenery. In order to recall the digits in the right order, you simply have to do a mental walk through your mind palace. In Lu’s case, he devised an intricate story, and assigned images such as a chair, a king or a horse to two-digit combinations of numbers ranging from “00” to “99.” -

“It’s something people could do on their own if they wanted to and gain these benefits in situations where cultural stereotypes or pre-existing beliefs might be likely to bias their judgment or cloud their memories.”
https://www.zmescience.com[..]erception-perspective-enjoyment-8235342/ Instead it is the quality of the conversation that is important. That is, the back and forth, turn-taking nature that requires listening and responding. It’s what Hirsh-Pasek and her long-time collaborator Roberta Golinkoff refer to as a “conversational duet”, because “you can’t sing it alone”. In fact, another study found that if a conversation is interrupted by a phone call, the child does not learn a newly presented word, but will learn it if the conversation is not interrupted. -

2) How does the person respond to your successes? Many people are willing to commiserate with you when you're down and elevate themselves in the process. A person of genuine goodwill celebrates your successes and is happy for your happiness.
3) What strong beliefs does the person voice and live through their actions? Character means standing for what you believe in and living your beliefs. Go along and get along might be comfortable, but commitment is what powers effective action in the world.
