4 Steps to Supercharged Learning
Follow these steps, any chance you get, and suck in information and develop your skills like a savant. The best part about this process is that you get to share your spoils - which only helps you grow faster. The only thing to be careful of is overloading your brain with all your new found interests!
- Learn to learn.
- Learn to teach.
- Teach to learn.
- Teach to teach.
Learn to learn. Learning is a skill. Figure out how to do this well, and everything gets easier.
Learn to teach. Take on the skills and responsibility of teaching others what you know and believe–then teach them what you know and believe.
Teach to learn. Two reasons here: First, teach others how to learn so that everything can get easier for them. Second, teach with the purpose of learning for yourself because the act of teaching teaches you twice as much as what you pass on.
Teach to teach. This is where the process comes full circle; show people how they can teach so that they can complete the growth-circuit and illuminate the world.

Hello,
I think that this article its very interesting, but how can i do to develop these skills?
Thank you,
Julian Castiblanco P.
Hi Julian,
I would say start with the first step: Learn to learn. How do you learn best? Are you a visual learner, auditory learner (sound), hands-on leaner (learn by doing), or other? If you are a auditory learner, for example, can you sharpen your listening skill? And would you benefit from developing other skills like learning-by-doing?
Does the information you seek tend to be in particular forms (i.e., books, magazines, videos, blogs, podcasts, etc)? How good at you at engaging those forms? For example, I am interested in the process of bridging gaps of knowledge, so I created this blog to discuss the process of learning.
Really, the first step is focused on mastering your ability to learn anything you want, from any source, at any time. Doing so will give you both depth and breadth, all at once. (Many people believe that a person can only either be good at one thing, or mediocre at many things, but I believe, and think I can prove, that you can be good at many things. But that topic will be saved for another blog discussion =)
Because of your question, I think I will update this blog entry to make it more descriptive and helpful. Thanks!
