    22 Strategies for Learning

    Iron Rings and the Key to Scientific Progress

    7/6/2021

     
    Welcome to this week's 2 x 2 Newsletter.

    My aim is to offer you valuable ideas and tools that you can start using today to learn faster and better.

    Here are some key insights from a week's worth of reading and learning.
    ​


    2 Quotes on Progress & Persistence:
    ​
    • “Scientific progress on a broad front results from the free play of free intellects, working on subjects of their own choice, in the manner dictated by their curiosity for exploration of the unknown." — Vennevar Bush, Science: The Endless Frontier​
    ​
    • "The one indispensable virtue is persistence—the ability to stay in the game long enough to get the results you seek." — John Danaher
    ​

    2 Thoughts From Me:
    ​
    • For almost 100 years, Canadian engineers have worn an iron ring as a continual reminder of their commitment to the profession. What physical token can you use to empower yourself and reinforce your identity?
    ​
    • It is incredible how much one can learn with a beginner's mind; it is astonishing how little one learns in an ego-driven state of mind. The less you assume, the more you learn.

    Until next week,
