"The difference between good and great is often an extra round of revision.

The person who looks things over a second time will appear smarter or more talented, but actually is just polishing things a bit more.

Take the time to get it right. Revise it one extra time."

The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don't wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.

You have be greater than your feelings. I don’t demand this of you—life does. Otherwise, you’ll be washed away by feelings. You’ll be washed out to sea and never seen again.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act,

The rest is merely tenacity,

The fears are paper tigers,

Conquer them and success will follow.

Tuesdays With Morrie

Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, and gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago.

Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you?

Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying of ALS - or motor neurone disease - Mitch visited Morrie in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final 'class': lessons in how to live.

But most people are not taught how to drive their nervous system.”

This is the problem with stress - we all experience it. But we don’t know how to control it.

Here are the top 7 books on learning :

1) "Make it Stick: The Science of Successful Learning" by Peter C. Brown:

"Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly."

"Retrieval practice, spacing, interleaving and other interventions improve learning, but—and this is key—we tend to be unaware of it."

2)"A Mind for Numbers" by Barbara Oakley:

"As the title may suggest, this book uses math and science as the context of 'learning how to learn' but the concepts covered here can easily be applied to any other subject matter or skill."

"It goes through things like overcoming procrastination, 'chunking', focus and diffused modes of thinking, etc."

3)"Ultralearning" by Scott H. Young:

"Most well-known for having done the 'MIT Challenge' (completing the 4-year MIT Computer Science curriculum in 1-year), Scott lays out his methodology in this book that supposedly helps readers take on their own 'ultralearning' project."

"The #1 book above all is - Make it stick: The science of successful learning. It has all the answers you seek."

4)"Deep Work" by Cal Newport:

"The ability to perform deep work is becoming increasingly rare at exactly the same time it is becoming increasingly valuable in our economy."

"Deep work is necessary to wring every last drop of value out of your current intellectual capacity."

5)"Outsmart Your Brain" by Daniel Willingham:

"This book argues for the importance of background knowledge, the crucial role attention plays in memory, and how cognition changes as we become more proficient."

"Read them after reading Ultralearning. They build heavily upon the concepts that Scott Young talks about in his book."

6)"Teach Yourself How to Learn" by Sandra Yancy McGuire:

"This book is a revelation. I feel as if I’ve owned a brain for fifty-four years and only now discovered the operating manual."

"A valuable, entertaining tool for educators, students and parents."

7)"Study Like a Champ" by John Dunlosky:

"I tend to find mnemonics less helpful for studying than they are often hyped to be."

"From a practical perspective, I’d recommend Straight-A or Make it Stick above this book
