How To Learn

Key points in Sam's post about how to learn:

If you want to learn something, just start doing whatever you want to learn.

  1. Learn by doing.
  2. Learning a bunch of stuff before trying to do is useless.
  3. Learn what you want to learn. This keeps you motivated and excited. Motivation is a powerful tool.
  4. When you get started with something new, you'll suck at it. That's okay.

So, go start doing right now. Seriously, close this blog post and fire up Google. There's no time like the present.
