” never have an era, like today, need to continue, anytime, anywhere, fast and efficient learning. The times that depend on what we learn at school can cope with everything, gone for ever. ”

“- Rudenstine (former president of Harvard)

Harvard, did anyone chew books until half past four in the morning? Yes, but very few. The top academic tyrants are really diligent, but more important than diligence is “learning power””. Kirby Professor Department of business administration at Harvard Business School (W C Kriby) is put forward: only learning ability, can let the child really improve the learning efficiency, to become masters of learning.

Kirby Professor, to learn in a traditional way, is a process of rapid depreciation; and to learn to acquire knowledge, is the process of increasing. in his book “learning”, “learning ability” introduced the concept of a learning method and way to solve the problem, it lets the child learning, in accepting the knowledge on the basis of their own original and independent thinking, and exert their creativity to solve problems.

he put the “learning ability” to learning motivation, learning attitude, learning ability, learning efficiency, creative thinking and creative ability of six, describes the effective ways to enhance learning.today, we share the essence of excerpts from the book, and share with you the ways to develop learning ability.

Harvard’s 8 most important qualities,

learning power is competitiveness. Harvard has a motto: “there has never been a time like this need to constantly and deeply, whenever and wherever possible, fast efficient learning.”

in the past, a person of all knowledge is 80% stages of learning in school, the other 20% are on stage of learning; and now completely contrary to the knowledge learned in school but accounted for 20%, while 80% of the knowledge you need through continuous learning and practice in long life. The times that rely on what we learn at school can cope with everything and enjoy life, and are gone forever!

I think you’ve realized that to be a student of Harvard, it’s not good to just learn it well, and whether it’s a potential future and a competitive student. Because we do not want to see Harvard students have such results: is one of the best students in the school, all the subjects can be A+; after leaving school has become an imbecile, do not know how to learn is to do with life, cannot use to study to make more value thus, the value of their own, like the sun slowly melting snowman, until the thaw Not the least trace was found.
