How to Never Forget Anything you read - Elon Musk 

What school did you finished?What do you learn now?

I got a degree in Biochemistry at the University of Sydney, but I ended up working in IT after a few years. Now I'm retired, but I'm teaching myself electronics and cabinetmaking at the moment, I also like plants and gardening @@ktoscos4546

yes excellent comment !!

Curiosity itself is the road to discoveries where endless questions become to be the milestone of knowledge. by; Frank Zubek

@@ElusiveCube You can’t learn anything if you think you know everything- I wish a lot younger people these days understood that.

It's common sense. People forgot to read. This put the humanity at risk in the first place. Too many gadgets.

I, too, have the benefit of tremendous retention & comprehension of written material, but I had to study critical thinking, formal & informal logical fallacies, and the scientific method to be able to do anything meaningful with the knowledge I'd accumulated as an autodidact. Knowledge is NOT intelligence nor is it wisdom, just facts, the beginning of the critical thinking process. Its what your mind can do with these facts that matters - and that involves skills that are more and more rarely taught in America any more.

Sir how we can pour love of reading in kids???

Not that hard really. 1.) For example, if your kid likes adventure movies like the Avengers - introduce them to comic books. If they like sports then introduce them to books about the greats of their sport. 2.) Get them interested in building models. They make models of anything now days so find what interest your kid and build models with them. This makes them read the instructions to build it. Make sure to help them as needed. 3.) Most importantly, YOU READ TO YOUR KID! Read a little bit to them at bed time. My kids, through me have read all the classics from Bible stories, to Moby Dick. This helps them find books that interest them and if nothing else they know a book they want to read for themselves. 4.) Talk to them about books and the characters and ideas within them. Show them how a movie they liked that was based on a book differs from the original book. Challenge them to read it. 5.) Introduce them to Kindle, and don't omit Audible. A book you listen to online can lead to them reading the printed version, but at least it is still consuming the contents of a book. 6.) Finally, if nothing else, talk to them about what they read online. Encourage them to read more about it and seek other opinions online.@@m.aniquemani6574

I also experienced that when I understood the basic knowledge in the Bible (the Gospel). As a result, I learnt more deep information easily. The Gospel books, are Mathew, Mark, Luke and John.

@@svmcleverthats the best tip you could give us 😄

Good comment!

Read, read, read. Some of it will stick.

Learn how to study and study how to learn😊

I say First learn how to Unlearn as a tactical plan to tackle the ignorance😊

@@kafkaesqued great point. Yes, unlearning is harder than new learning in most cases, at least for me. For example -guitar. I had to unlearn years of messing around until I learned how to stay disciplined with practice. Now, I’m learning whereas before I was a hindering.

You wrote all that and said absolutely nothing..

@@Koudy111Well said, mate! 😂😂😂😂😂

More paid comments.

Actually this comment shared the importance of 1) the choice to go another route than traditional education as necessary 2) self-directed learning as a key 3) honing techniques [or skills instead of just memorizing and regurgitating] 4) a focus and development of core concepts [or first principles or a good foundation].

@@Koudy111, Hello! Understanding of core concepts is the key. If he added or subtracted, then, the Elon’s way is modified or diminished. Why don’t you explain to us your own way then?

Wow! Great comment! I’ve been learning something similar. Thanks for the story. It helped me see what I used to do and what I’ve let slide… which has led to a lacking in learning and remembering.

Brilliance is probably not Musk's best characteristic; rather, I believe his best traits include 'conscientiousness' (can and WILL do) and avoidance of the narrow limits set by others.

​@@richh1576 I think it was Thomas Edison who said, "Genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration." Calvin Coolidge, who was usually a man of few words, said, “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

Please how does the mind map work?

@@joshuanamo228 How to mind map: Let's say you're listening to a lecture. In most cases, people take notes by writing things down as they hear them, so the notes are not in logical order but in chronological order. That makes it harder to make sense of the notes later on. With mind mapping, you write the name of the topic in the center of the page. With each major point you hear, you write nearby and draw a line from that point to the main topic. Each time a sub-point is presented, you write it near the major point from which it proceeds. At the end of the process, you have an information tree. The main topic is the trunk (though it's in the center of the page), and all the points, sub-points, and sub-sub-points branch out in all directions from there. With mind mapping, you deliberately remember things the way the mind naturally learns things; it connects new information to already established information. Not only that, but it helps to make your thinking more logical. You'll get to the point that you'll find yourself mind mapping even in your head, without pencil and paper. I'm not satisfied with any of the RU-vid videos I've seen on mind mapping. Most of them either talk "around" the subject, or they complicate it with unnecessary facts. Here's a link to the least unsatisfactory video I've seen on mind mapping: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oY4sUQzXJ1g.html

🤣🤣🤣

Mix with chat GPT, might help 👍

Exactly. As a software engineer, I've solved a ton of very difficult problems over the years and certainly wouldn't be able to recall the particulars on the spot.

Didn’t Popeye say that?

check my post for the answer.

That's it. Too different from the topic

Actually, it said the semantic tree and really studying the core concepts first allows one to remember the rest of what one is reading on that subject. Of course, focused study was another thing that was talked about. So, if we were to study like Elon Musk, it seems, according to this video… we would narrow what we read to just what we need to build that framework and then to add details when necessary. Also, talking about what we are reading aids us in remembering. Talking with an expert allows us to add to that memory with new relevant information. At least, that’s what I got from the video. I’m very curious to read more posts to learn more with all of you.

The people you are mentioning are geniuses., so it is not that simple for other non genius people.

For good recall, you must review the facts every 3-6 months. Memory fades.

Thank you very much

Not so> A basic knowledge + learning from reading books on various topics of interest + information not of the MuskRats authorship + cunning + deception in the eyes of the public + the gullibility of individuals who fall victim to believing what they see, hear and read of the work by a scoundrel... then the products sell themselves and who would have thought that skulduggery was what got the MuskRat famous? Take it as being true - as my years of designing things now all around the world were magic, but I did not wave a wand to make my work vanish and products appear on the market that has changed the way people work, live and play. Where is the genius the MuskRat is conceived to have from? I put years of time and effort into designing things I wanted and believed everyone would appreciate having to make their life more fulfilled, but after my designs were snuck out of my home by someone the world soon began to change in many ways as my inventions got released and taken up by people who found my inventions handy in some way. Now you know how digital communications systems began to change the way people think. You need nourishment for your heart and soul, so if you are hungry for more food for thought, watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f6evE6yRNLc.html

Excuse me….. ever hear of the stable genius, Donald J. Trump? 😜😂😂😂

İt cant be real he's age doesn't match

The thing he's "blessed" with is called Neurolink. I'm not becoming a cyborg no matter how popular and appealing they make it. People shouldn't be too excited about something that will only last maybe 25,000 years. We are infinite beings, but, with enough media attention-

RAMMAR, GRAMMAR

Examples Exist Everywhere

No offense but that is because previous generation wants our generation to build more in less time for the same resource. Thus we must rely on quick fix solutions to accumulate capital gains instead of devouring in long form reading, listening. There simply is not time for it, and this is dictated by the rest of socio-economic ambiance

I understand your generation lack of time, however I beg to differ.Reading is NOT waste of time(resources accumulation is NOT everything, trust me).Life experience is unpayable when it comes to setting priorities the right way.I sometimes refer to people categories: some conjugate the verb TO HAVE and some.TO BE. RARELY people will have.both.One single affluent person has.both: Mr.Elon.Musk.All the other with fat bank accounts can only TO HAVE.Take away.that from them and you will see the.naked reality. Thank for your comment.I do respect your point of view☺️

@@watup110875 of course, sorry G was missing

Where are you from and how long have you been my fan?😢😢🎉🎉🎉

I'm from Virginia Beach Virginia and i have been a fan of yours mr musk for the past 20 years😊

@@keithtaylor6259 That's awesome. Well I can take a few messages on here while I comment.

@@keithtaylor6259 That's awesome. I will really like to know more about you.

@@ElonMuskspacexceo I have been a fan of yours for a while as well for the reason that I see myself in you. I have always been self taught in everything that I know from economics to mathematics and electrical engineering. I definitely believe in the concept the first principles and have practice that since I was around 15 years old. Today I’m 51 and I’m still learning more and more about how to learn more efficiently. I mind map everything that I wish to learn so that way I can see all of my thoughts laid out in a nice beautiful map on paper. With mind mapping it’s much easier to see how things connect and come together . Before there was Internet in the late 80s early 90s I spent many days and weeks at a time in the local public library. I’m now currently practicing increasing my speed reading with the use of a metronome. I’m currently up to about 4000 words per minute with 97% comprehension.

I don’t think is necessarily common sense. Most people think they know how to think and problem solve and absorb information, but it’s not nearly as easy as it’s made out to be. Critical thinking isn’t something you are born able to do, most people can’t actually do it, and schools don’t help as they never teach the basic tools needed. It’s not enough to simply recognize a canonical list of fallacies, you need to learn philosophical logic, you need to learn to look to the basic facts and principles of the subject you’re trying to think about. You need to know the best sources of information on a topic rather than just going with the popular outlets. But because schools love to say they’re teaching thinking, they teach a few basic concepts, then a bunch of heuristics and shortcuts that sort of work in very basic situations, but fail miserably at higher levels.

Elon Musk still did not know the secret. Reading or writing for 100 years will not give you anything which is like him.

He definitely chose a top doctor and not a hair mill

Traditional education doesn't do that. On the contrary actually.

John Lennon did that a long time ago. Read Geoff Emerick book on the Beatles if you have not done it by now. Emerick was the Beatles engineer.

​@@charlesannis41763,That is great. Did you line up the colors with the scales? You probably know that the color scale can't make it to the first octave. I made it so my wheel includes CYM and no K. It is not used, I use the RGB WHEEL. Because the two doesn't line up because the steps are different .eg half steps and whole steps don't. Match ; I had to use light set theory to get the complements lining up. What did you do with it?

@@user-mj9fn1uw5x Most people who have tried that just asign any color to go with a note. I am a musician and an artist. And I know both very well. I have searched the internet a lot looking for people who make this claim and have not found anybody that were doing it right. John wasn't a painter although he could draw but that is not enough.

Thanks for your love and support, it's my pleasure talking to you here. Where are you from?...

I don’t believe we should allow students to just pass. You should only proceed when you understand a topic completely. We allow people to progress to stage 2 when they don’t fully understand step 1, which step 2 assumes.

Hello big fan Thanks for your support. to me and my company, i normally don't do instagram I only have my company management and robots take control but seeing the handful of likes and comments of my fans made me to create this private account to show my appreciation and be familiar with each other

The TV in the USA at the time was every bit as bad! If you don't believe it, find some videos of TV shows in the 1950's. People got sucked into watching it because it was this amazing new technology and most couldn't get past that to see that what it was putting out was complete garbage! Just as Musk did, I turned to reading because IF you could get the right books, there was actually something of value there. Things that were actually interesting and, more important, things that actually related to actual reality (in starkest contrast to all the TV shows).

You should never learn just to pass exams, you should learn to understand.

@@aldunlop4622the purpose of exams is wether or not u understood the concept

I’m glad you had the time you viewed this❤. Where are you from?

@@Elonmusk_office Thanks for this video shining the light a human can possibly be good from doing more than 1 thing in life🥰

Thats where you are going wrong. PRAYING! thats a fool's game. DOING and applying is where you want to focus on.

Stop believing to be a slow learner

Focus on learning the basics, completely otherwise you’ll confuse your mind with more complex things. Focus on fundamentals.

Keep praying ➕
