There are no secret tricks or magical methods to help you become knowledgeable. Nor is there a single way of understanding. Knowledge has many facets including skills you learn from books to understand constructive methods, to know how to manage your finances, and to resonate with mother nature.

Steps

Part 1 of 4: Getting Started Gaining Knowledge

1. 

   Keep an open mind. Learning often challenges innate assumptions or responses to eliminate ideas that are contrary to our own. Don't automatically ignore something just because it doesn't align with your current vision of the world.
   • Understand your own biases. Favoritism, or acting based solely on a certain way of thinking, results from your being raised - both at home and in society - that shapes your core beliefs. Realize that everyone has their own point of view, which is the result of growing up with past experiences, and that each one applies in his or her own life circumstances. It is also important to understand that each person's perception of reality will be adorned with bias and that it does not actually correspond to reality. One way to reduce the effects of bias is to learn to accept different points of view and subjectively recognize changing biases with one's own consciousness.
   • As you broaden your knowledge, even in its most basic form, you will have to re-examine your opinions and how you do things.
   • Learn how to be wrong. As you learn, you will come face to face with people and situations in which you get it wrong. And you should consider it as learning experience.

Or are you trying to broaden your background knowledge so that you can both repair home appliances and knowledge up to the ancient Greeks? Any knowledge or complete knowledge can be for you to learn. Knowledge is not simply a matter of going to college.
   • With generalized knowledge you will want to focus on breadth rather than depth. You should read and experiment a lot. Talk to as many people about as many topics as possible.
   • For specific knowledge, you will need to focus on the depth of the information or skill you want to gain. That means you need to read about the topic, talk to experts in the field, and many other practical practices.

3. 

   
   
   Step out of your comfort zone. Learn areas that are not your favorite. You may find new hobbies and interests that you have never thought of.
   • This also means getting out of your community. Look at your local bulletin board (usually hanging from the library or department store) or on your local website. There are many learning opportunities you can access: dance classes, economic aid, community theater. It is a great way to start learning.

4. 

   
   
   Don't be afraid to fail. Above all, this is the most important piece of advice in the learning process to become knowledgeable. You cannot know everything and you can get information and facts wrong. Take the mistakes and learn from them to gain more knowledge and better remember the correct information.
   • Examine what you did wrong and come up with solutions so that you can behave differently in the future. From there you are also prepared and shown that you are seriously accumulating knowledge.
   • You will go wrong sometimes, especially in the beginning. This kind of event will make you hesitant to keep your soul open. You should accept failure, learn from it, and continue to work hard.

   • There are a handful of prestigious universities, such as Oxford and Harvard, that offer free online courses for both on-campus and non-students, with pre-recorded lessons and linked to chapters. course of study.
   • Many university courses post their curriculum online. When buying or viewing class books on subjects that interest you, even non-students can update their understanding trends and continue their learning.
   • Museums and universities often invite speakers from around the world to speak on a variety of topics. Many of them are free and open to the public. You can find the information on the website of the museum or university where you live. The lectures are easy to find because they want to get people involved as well.

   • Librarians can assist you with your search by pointing you to the right book to use for your study. If you need to understand how to search for certain subjects, especially college librarians can help. Often times, librarians can point you to resources that may be of interest to you. Likewise, check out the book you're looking for on WorldCat. If your library doesn't have that book, they can usually borrow it from another library.

   • Focus on keywords. This is sometimes referred to as the "Journey Method". It means using certain words (or numbers) as landmarks on your journey through quotes, lists or speeches. In your mind, you'll put these keywords along the actual path, like the road from work to home. Writing is also quite effective. Now, when you follow the path in mind you have chosen, you should attach keywords to it. Example: Door-I have come; Car-I see; Parking- I occupy.
   • Another effective way to memorize, especially when learning the primary language, is to write over and over again until you can retarget it.
