The best results are achieved by using the right amount of effort in the right place at the right time. And this right amount is usually less than we think we need. In other words, the less unnecessary effort you put into learning, the more successful you'll be... the key to faster learning is to use appropriate effort. Greater effort can exacerbate faulty patterns of action. Doing the wrong thing with more intensity rarely improves the situation. Learning something new often requires us to unlearn something old.

Proverb, English

31.

We all learn best in our own ways. Some people do better studying one subject at a time, while some do better studying three things at once.

Krishnamurti, Jiddu

Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense; a substitute for true knowledge.
