Bro thank you for this affirmation, i know that i am a slow learner, but i always fail to double up my effort. I settle things with the way how my other classmates make things done faster than mine. I also believe there is no other way, but to study 3x, practice 3x and pushing self to the limit.
Genius Kidd thanks bro, but I already graduated as industrial engineer. I just reflected after ive watched this video how ive went though tough college moments
I am like that; active learning does not work for me. I must understand what is being taught, before I can apply the content. I know that other people immediately understand, but the learning is not sustained. It is more performance than real learning- where long term memories are created, to be later accessed for transfer. if I had known the things I know now about learning, I would never have measured myself against the 'grab and go' learners. My learning style is slow and steady. I must have a consistent pattern of study and revision, not only studying for the purpose of passing an exam; it is studying to build a firm and transferable knowledge base. The key is to recognise how you learn.
Im like the slow learner its embarrassing because my teacher picks me to answer something on math and i literally stay quiet really trying hard to kno whats going on .ppl stare and look at me like im dat stupid .😞i hate my life
Don't be. Cause honestly, i was like that too. Im so over with handling numbers. My brain couldn't speculate any answers to any complicated math questions. Im not fan of maths. But, Science is totally my favourite subject as well as Geography. I mostly curious about understanding something about nature itself and logically. Im also a slow learner and im planning to be more active in a slow, steady and stable pace. I feel comfortable in that way. Everyone has their own style of learning and be productive with their self everyday. This video is great. Thank you for the advice. 😄😄😄
This is one of the worst things to be in life because after feeling like a failure in school & barely making it out of there then there's the world of work. I always look stupid to others because of my bad memory & the fact that it takes me forever to master things. So imagine working in a fast pace environment with my short comings, then getting confused .....this disability has made me so depressed in life. And to make it worst I am really forgetful . I feel like my whole life is a challenge.
You are a fucking pussy...it's not a disadvantage by any means. You probably have ADHD... Try Wim Hof method with cold showers afterwards for ten days. Thank me later.
Being a pilot would sound entertaining (though it is also a seriously job…all lives on board are in your hands) However things like: • Good teamwork • Fast thinking (especially understand high pressure, given short amounts of time) • Remaining calm and persistent when even in a near-death situation (JAL 123 being one….flight crew fought hard to land the plane for over 30min before crashing…) My teamwork and communication skills arent the best. Especially fast thinking…. And lastly is remaining calm in even horrible situations - normally I back away and observe, with my heart at a million BPM. I am currently having a crisis (don’t know the right word sorry) or my future..
Omg I just commented something similar. Yes people do not understand how absolutely depressing this is in the work world, and even worse in entrepreneurship. I now in my 30s want to tackle this in more deeper ways then just “double your time” especially when most of us don’t have that in our 30s and beyond. Researching information like changing brain waves of those who are slow learners (such as alpha state brain waves vs “studious” beta brain waves), the role of NATURAL interest in the subject as opposed to survival-based interest, lack of visualization skills or even #Aphantasia ….things like this. Beyond that, I’m just setting an intention that I won’t understand this ENTIRE subject by the end of this week, but I will understand how this PART works by the end of this week. And shut out all distractions and reprioritize our time. Best wishes to us slow learners.
@@yvespenaflor4610 dont worry just because were not given the same gift as others doesnt mean we cant do nothing, were all given different things on this earth and what matters is what we do with it. And what determines success is spreading good with what you're given, so keep improving andd keep doingg good
I am sorry you went through these harsh feelings man... but bear in mind, that there are many environmental factors that affect your speed of doing things. Another thing, you may be slow at learning languages, but quick at soaking up math. You can be slow at certain things, and quick at other things. It is also important to find which learning style suits you specifically for which task. Be calm, be focused and free your mind before approaching a problem/task. Slow thinkers tend to be perfectionists as well, and explore stuff to the smallest of details, or view problems from many different angles. Slow thinkers tend to be deep thinkers and analytical. Very few people are quick and deep thinkers (thats a rare intelligence). Consider many possibilities before jumping to the conclusion that there is a biological component to your lack of efficiency compared to other people. I met a scientist (very high IQs) who never learned how to tank a car. He just couldnt. Amount of common sense lacking by his side was astounding. And he doesnt suffer from any sort of learning disability.
Man I go back to school tomorrow but I’m such a slow leaner some things takes me sometimes days to get through I have so much things on my mind I don’t know how other people learn so fast I mean wow but everything is different a lot of times I’m not motivated but even when I am it still takes time for me to get it I get so overwhelmed and I just wanna quit I try anyways but I just need some type of medication or treatment or a one on one teacher like tutoring or something like that because I need to pick up something and stick with it I’m about to be a senior and I feel like I’ve gotten nowhere I remember some things I’ve learned over all my school years through elementary middle school and high school but most of the things I should know I don’t and I want to tell someone but they will just think I’m retarded or stupid but I’m not I’m smart but it’s just my disability I see all things smart kids and people but I don’t see them appreciate their gift and they just throw it away like trash while someone like me could do something with it I honestly don’t understand but I’ll just see where life takes me and I will hope for the best and everything goes alright.
We both may not believe we are the smartest. But brother, with that mindset of yours and some confidence, I believe you can go far and be incredibly fulfilled and proud of your achievements, especially if you stop comparing yourself to other people.
What I have: social anxiety and slow learner, it means I’m scared to ask because I tend to ask same think over and over because I Learn too slow, I’m scared to find a job
If you don't believe in yourself, you cannot convince a recruiter to believe in you. Don't make decisions on behalf of others. There are many who don't understand and never bother to ask. You are miles ahead.
I had social anxiety quite bad in the past. What I did not realize is it's not an instant fix. It's a long process to become a confident speaker, depending on how severe your social anxiety is. People say it all the time " Go out and talk to new people" but it's the truth. Even if the conversation is awkward, the more experience you get the better your conversations will be in the future. My advice... Start now! also get big muscles it helps
I totally feel you bro. I'm always stupidly slow. Let me tell you a story. I got lucky to study at one of the top institutions despite being sluggish. I struggled so badly during the time in that school. Whenever I didn't put effort, I got D or F, absolutely. However, when I tried really really hard, I could be ranked top 1% for the class and understood my subject deeply. However, being slow is still painful. I can tell that my coworkers are not happy about me being slow, and they absolutely think I'm much less intelligent. It hurts me hard even though I almost accept being not so brilliant and extremely slow. Life is just more difficult for us.
My coworkers actually thought I have ADHD, but I never see a doctor to confirm that. I don't know, and I don't know how ADHD should feels like. Yes I procrastinate, but who doesn't? I feel I'm very slow because I take longer time to absorb and understand information. I need to deconstruct things to analyze them so I can remember, otherwise I don't remember anything
@@580bulldog Did you ever get tested for ADHD?? You might have it because I struggle with the same things I ended up having to get on meds for it last year and it has helped a bit
This video was really needed for me because l was and always used to feel depressed as a slow learner thanks for the support sir I will try my best😃👍👍👍
This is a very interesting perspective and I’ve definitely have another view on being a slow learner, due to the fact that I have a learning disability myself it’s hard to retain certain information in some circumstances but I’ve generally always perceived it as a curse , hence why this video has gave me a sense of encouragement. Great content!
I really appreciate the time you put into this and effort, I have always been a slow learner as I didnt go to college I am a skilled laborer but it still makes things so hard when you dont catch on as fast as the rest. Thank you again.
@@MuditY trying various methods of learning which works best for me... Keeping working hard with consistency... My point was fast learner will always have an advantage... While slow learner has to slog to make it through a task
There is a huge problem with the advice: Your success depends on other people being lazy. So what if the smart people around you are already spending all their free time studying? How can you survive? This is usually the case at an advanced level (e.g. top tier college, working at a top tier company like Google, etc.). In any case, I don’t think “working hard” is the right solution. A better strategy is to find out why you are slow and fix the problem. Say you are slow at math. Sure, why? Perhaps you are a visual learner and the professor is a verbal teacher. Then go onto Khan Academy and start learning visually. Or perhaps your brain is just not built for math. Sure, maybe you are meant to be an artist. Find that thing that you love, want to excel, and can excel. Try different ways to learn more efficiently. Once you have done the two steps, then start working as hard as you can. Never start by working hard. You have to know how to work smart and work passionately before you work hard.
Yep this is it! You need to know what your strengths and weaknesses are....when I come back home from school I will try to write down what I lack in school and what I excel in.
You ,may be good at other things , every one has a unique qualities ,studying something to get knowledge gain something from it ,dont judge your self base on your studies .
I hear you, but if that is the case do 6 hours. Watch videos on how to study more effectively. Study at night sleep and study in the morning works for me.
Thank you for sharing this video, i actually have a new prepective to learn something.. not about how fast we learn but we do much effort to become great in the course/subject
Sometimes I would go to school and my friends would come up to me and start talking about stuff I didnt even know was real so i started torturing myself by watching boring study videos about how life and the world works but I still came back and beat myself up about being dumb and I dont know what to do
The main problem with investing MORE time than others is that we often DON’T HAVE more time because we’re too busy surviving. Especially to the students who are taking a minimum number of credits to receive aid. That’s what bothered me when I was in school and if I could go back in time, I would have only taken 1-2 classes a semester while working. For slow learners in the work world, and even worse, entrepreneurship, we’re hit the hardest to the point of almost being screwed because an instant reply and solution is needed frequently.
@@sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149 thank you captain obvious, that was my point. If you have no resources to assist, don’t comment. Don’t @ me; I’m not going back and forth
Oi oi, I was just agreeing with you. No need to get defensive about it. You can't change how much time is in a day, but speaking from personal experience an attitude like that usually doesn't help either. If I got any resource to give it is that I suggest shedding that.
I am like that what you described, except for having to put 4x effort. The quality of life such a person lives is so poor. Long workdays, busy weekends, few holidays, and constantly under tremendous pressure to keep up with peers. Jordan Peterson talked about such a life for people with low IQ in high IQ jobs, its miserable.
i think a love of the learning process helps too. i can remember being so resentful n frustrated i had to put in more work for less result than others, but i think ive learnt more because of i enjoy it. Ive also noticed im a better learner now at 36 solo than i was at 15 in school n this is despite having brain inflammation since 2014 XD i learnt more spanish on duolingo in 3months (b4 i quit) than id done with french at school
I also noticed in my 30's that I was a better learner than when I was in K-12. Particularly numbers and basic mental math processing...that was something I just couldn't "get" the entire time I was in school. But now with a little effort it comes much easier.
I used to learn and never forget what i had learnt, still remember most of the things I learnt in high school. But now a days, takes me hours to learn something and easily forget it the next minute, I need to improve. Any suggestions?
well, nice tips but I believe there's a classification for slow learner, like slow bc forgetful or slow at understand etc. for slow learner student : don't stop learning new things and repeat it, Im a slow learner too but can studies on Top state universities in my country (even still struggling). take motivation for boost your goals. today Im reaching my 21st, and still aim for mastering Nihongo and Arabic for my 5th and 6th language. fyi: entering state university in my country is damn hard, even money isn't guarantee
I wish I saw this when I was a student but now I’m in my last year of uni and I wished I had spent more time studying to do well 😭😭 but still this can be used throughout my life so
I am a slow learner, slow reader and I have adhd. I can't remember what I read unless I follow along while the computer reads to me. I feel like I must have a learning disability. I can only do long math problems if I have the formula and step by step instructions in front of me for every single problem. I forget how to do the problem or miss a step or two within minutes of removing the instructions. My working memory does not seem to work very well and my executive functioning appears to be broken.
I think ADHD decreases iq by like 10 points no joke thats also including brain fog that comes with it, (btw i am adhd) but. I tried things like Hypnosis and it turns out I couldn’t get hypnotized at all. I was wondering. Why? Turns out I had an analytical mind but my ADHD is bringing me back from my potential. Also depression is ruining me too. I know I don’t have bad genetics since my brother is a fast learner. Its just that I had gotten this ADHD a while ago, while he hasn’t and he’s very good at competing. Honestly I fucking hate natural selection but with medication u could literally be way better than you are now, But you dont have to take medication because I am not aswell.
I'm an extremely slow learner because I've a thousand ideas at once. I'm trying to learn code but I'm also thinking about black holes and atomic structures but also Humpty Dumpty nursery ryhmes and pornhub. In school we had to do a science fair project and I came back with a massive collection of war stories. a little off topic but it was the best world at war book you'll find. Not science but fuck em.
I am a slow leaner. But that doesn't mean I am a bad decision maker. I'm actually way above average in most mental things. I'm just terrible at learning new things. So I acknowledge that weakness and plan on giving myself extra time to lean something, or respond to someone. But once the information is in my head I usually see the information at a much higher level. On a standard IQ test my Processing Speed is in the 20th percentile but everything else is above the 95th percentile.
Sadly it is true. I also double or even triple the amount of time I plan to devote to an activity compared to averages. Sadly, it works. Sadly, I can't now tell where the rational border is when it comes to distributing the efforts between activities.
So it cannot be changed🤦 Putting more effort works but sometimes I really need to understand a topic in class.. Thanks for the video at least I know I'm not the only one ugh
Hi guys Let me tell u important point and a secret about sllow learners. I remember a guys who were in my class .he was very smart guys and sucses full guys at subject with little try he was in top Hear then HE CHANGED A SLLOW LEARNERS WTF I AM SURE HE CHANGEC TO SLLOW LEARS .I SWEAR .BUT HOW . I THINK WHEN SOME PEOPLE DO SOME ACTIONS THEY TRANSFORM TO SLLOW LEARNERS INSIT THISE ACTION WE MUST FIND A WAY TO CURE SLLOW LLEARNING .THERE IS A WAY TO CURE
My mans, my peers have 60 hours and find success. I have 100+hours in algebra and can't pass any test on god. Should I just quit or kill myself or something cause this shouldn't be possible but I live it everyday.
of course i think, you can increase your intelligene through education alone, and through this and this learning concept (active recall, sensorioum, application of knowledge, etc. pp) but sometimes it is really also just that simple... invest more time. This is the conundrum of modern university schedules....
Life is so unfair. Being a slow learner is horrible. The people that learn quickly + have a good worth ethic are the ones that make all the money. Slow learners usually don't achieve much obviously. I wish I had a high IQ. Life would be so much easier. I could literally be anything or do anything I want, if I had a high IQ. You're not alone Deepak, I hate myself as well.
let me add one more thing slow learner never mean that you are slow in learning every thing, may be you are slow to adopt university or school stuff, but probability are quite high that you might be good at some thing else, may be you don't know what that is, or if you know may be you don't know how valuable it is and how can you use it in right way..
Bro ok u can make effort into 3 times to understand things fast and better ,then what about the situation when somebody knows ur weakness and take advantage of it then
