The author of the book "The Art of Learning" Josh Vaytskin at the age of 9 had 8 titles of the US chess champion, at the age of 11 he drew with Garry Kasparov. When he was 17, the movie "Finding Bobby Fischer" was shot about him, which was nominated for an Oscar. At 22, Josh became interested in the martial arts of Taijiquan and Jiu-Jitsu and won 13 different championships. But Josh is confident that he has mastered the art of learning best - here are some of his principles.
1. You can learn everything.
There are two concepts of intelligence - simulated by the theory of preference and the theory of increment. Assignment theory says that it is very difficult to develop abilities and for everything "there must be talent." Increment theory says that any skill can be developed. A child brought up in the spirit of this theory that with hard work it is possible to master even difficult material, that, incrementing his knowledge step by step, a beginner can reach the level of a master.
Research proves that the proponents of the second theory achieve great results. Children who associate success with hard work, when faced with a difficult situation, demonstrate an orientation towards mastering the necessary knowledge, in contrast to children who consider themselves simply smart or stupid, as well as capable or incapable of something.
2. Don't notice distractions.
Only in an ideal world nothing can take us away from the learning process. The real world is full of extraneous noise. Only by reaching full concentration during the learning process can you reach unprecedented heights. Try to deliberately amplify annoying factors (such as playing loud music) and overcome them.
3. Defeated? Come back to yourself quickly.
The first mistake is rarely catastrophic, but if it is followed by a second, third, and fourth, they set off a destructive chain reaction. Once you make a mistake, it’s not hard to return to your emotional comfort zone, but the anxious feeling that the situation has changed for the worse does not disappear. A person who previously thought soberly becomes confused.
You can visualize this with two lines tending towards each other, but not intersecting. One of these lines? time, and the second? our perception of the present moment. When we adequately perceive what is happening, our perception goes on a par with the movement of time, but if we make a mistake and fix ourselves on it, then we lag behind the passage of time and remain in the past. And the gap between time and perception is constantly increasing. Time passes, but we remain in place. We live, play chess, walk the streets, but our eyes see not the present, but the past. We must learn to notice such moments and not linger in them.
4. Cultivate "optimistic competence" in yourself.
The life of an ambitious person is like walking on a sports beam. The child has no fear, no fear of falling. The beam seems wide and reliable, and the childish carelessness encourages creativity and helps to learn quickly. You can jump, somersault, and the love of discoveries and everything new drives you to new achievements.
As a person matures, the log can become a tight rope. It is worth a little slip, and this is already a disaster. A key aspect of high-performance learning is the ability to cultivate optimistic competence, which successfully replaces the playful carelessness of older age. Roughly speaking, the simpler we are about learning, the better. We must constantly remember that this is a game, this is a living process, in which mistakes are inevitable.
5. Don't be afraid of mistakes.
There are periods of temporary decline in athletic performance, and this is absolutely normal. Sometimes during such recessions, we understand ourselves even more than during the period of victories.
Even great athletes sometimes allow themselves to waste time with no immediate benefit to their careers, and also to find time to, figuratively speaking, sharpen their swords to continue the battle. For example, the famous basketball player Michael Jordan has made more accurate shots in the last minute of the match than any other player in the history of the NBA. But at the same time, Jordan missed the most in the last minute of the match - in the entire history of this game. He became great not because he was flawless, but because he was not afraid to make mistakes.
6. Learn new things through the opposite.
We often do not understand what this or that person really means to us until he leaves us. The heart rate gives an idea of how strong the love was. Imagine how pleasant it is to finally walk on your own two feet after being chained to crutches for a long time? nothing better than illness makes us feel the price of health. Who values water more than a man dying of thirst in the wilderness? The human mind tends to evaluate things relative to each other. Use this.
7. Trust your intuition.
Each of us has been puzzled by a situation that has changed in some way over time, and then suddenly intuitively realized the answer to our original question. Many of us have happened upon meeting a stranger at once, seemingly for no reason, to feel sympathy for him or to experience negative feelings. I have found that even though it may take several years in some cases to verify that the original result is correct, in the end the intuitive conclusions are surprisingly correct.
Intuition? our most valuable compass in this world. This is a bridge between consciousness and subconsciousness, and it is extremely important to influence the subconscious through it. If we are so carried away by narcissistic academic realism that we are able to declare intuition non-existent only because we do not fully understand its mechanism of action, or if we shortsightedly consider the subconscious to be part of a system that mysteriously functions in an area with which we have no connection, then we lose an excellent opportunity to establish contact with an inexhaustible source of creative energy.
8. Give yourself permission to be the best.
There are clear differences between what it takes to perform at a decent level, a really good level, become one of the best and become the first. If you want to sit somewhere in the middle, then you have a fairly high limit on mistakes. You can get depressed if you were fired, and then wander around the apartment all day, waiting for a call with a new job offer. With this worldview, people perceive trauma as retreats to previous positions.
If I want to be the best, then I must take risks when others avoid risk, learn from the lessons and learn how to turn any unfavorable situation into an advantageous one. It takes passion to get to the top. Think of obstacles as an additional impetus to new searches and learning something new. They only strengthen the resolve. Any trauma or loss is easier to deal with if you don't give up.

There are several important principles that reveal the essence of failure that befalls a person.
️
In addition to the "blocking" and "guiding" functions, failures carry one more - "teaching". This principle, unlike the previous two, does not apply to everyone. Only those people who have advanced in their spiritual development far enough to consciously draw certain "lessons" from the troubles that happen to them fall under its action. ?
It is very important to learn how to take advantage of every little thing, any undesirable event that happens to you, no matter how insignificant it may seem!
️
If you begin to notice in what is happening only "bad", then failures will pile up like a snowball. If the preference is given to the "good", your affairs will rapidly go uphill. ‼ ️
Good luck will become the lot of someone who internally (that is, in his soul), perceives any (!) Situation with joy, even if at first glance it carries nothing but pain and bitterness, but externally (that is, in his actions), strives to achieve all the best, never stopping at what has been achieved.
