How to Learn New Skills? And Master it

Learning. 

Learning new things.

We all know it’s important.

It’s more than important.

It is essential. It’s vital for our growth.

We are what we are because of what we learned.

And we need to learn new things that’ll take us where we want to be.

Yet, we find it difficult to learn, retain and master new skills.

Of course, we buy books or courses.

We read blog posts.

We watch tons and tons of youtube videos.

But, do we learn anything from them?

Not much.

We might pick up a thing or two from them.

Why?

What has changed?

We blame it on how busy we are, how less time we got, and how old we have become.

But, those aren’t the real reasons.

Those are the excuses we give to fool ourselves.

The actual reasons are entirely different.

That’s what I’ve tried to discuss in my latest blog post How To Learn & Master A New Skill.

This blog post talks about...

How did we learn to stand up, balance, and walk? How we have come a long way from there. [Trust me, it matters]

- How and why we lost the secret to happiness? [It was essential for learning and growing & when we lost it, we almost lost everything]

- How our education system has messed up with our learning process? [No, it’s not the conspiracy theory that’s out there]

- What’s the correlation between motivation and learning?

- What’s the right approach to learn new things so that what we learn stays with us for a long time?

- The mistake we make that hurts our progress to the expert level.

- Why learning basics and setting a strong foundation is critical to becoming a real expert

- The simple technique that helped me to improve my expertise from 4/10 to 7/10

- The universal secret of all thought leaders out there

And more

That’s what my new blog post, How To Learn & Master A New Skill talks about.

Cheers

New open source robots.txt projects

  Last year we released the   robots.txt parser and matcher   that we use in our production systems to the open source world. Since then, we've seen people build new tools with it,   contribute   to the open source library (effectively improving our production systems- thanks!), and release new language versions like   golang   and   rust , which make it easier for developers to build new tools. With the intern season ending here at Google, we wanted to highlight two new releases related to robots.txt that were made possible by two interns working on the Search Open Sourcing team,  Andreea Dutulescu  and  Ian Dolzhanskii .  Robots.txt Specification Test First, we are releasing a  testing framework  for robots.txt parser developers, created by Andreea. The project provides a testing tool that can validate whether a robots.txt parser follows the Robots Exclusion Protocol, or to what extent. Currently there is no officia...
