Think about all the things in life you've always wanted to do. Learn a language, ride a bike, climb Mount Everest. Everyone has a list of things they want to do and they usually put it in the back of their mental attics and label it 'maybe, someday, when I find the time.' Then after gathering a plethora of things to do, people end up sitting in front of the television or computer idling away their hours. They go about their days like this because deep down they know - or think they know - that they neither have the skill nor time to get these things done; but then again, deep down, they also know that they would like to learn how to.What usually deters people from going out and learning all that they can is the perceived barriers to learning. They feel that they will be setting themselves up for frustration and failure. Ultimately they see it as a waste of time. This is indeed a reasonable concern. However, what is really gained without a little grit and hard work? Who can ignore the satisfaction of having learned something, from scratch no less? Wouldn't it be cool if you could do what you've always wanted to by learning quickly? Imagine the fun you could be having with a new set of skills.Well, everyone starts out unskilled. Everyone has to realize this. Even some persons branded as prodigies had to learn skills to make use of or compliment their innate abilities. What everyone needs to know is there are less painful and frustrating ways of achieving what they want in the least time possible.This book is precisely meant to help you do just that - make learning easier. It is not a 'learn how to....in a day' book, although it is quite possible to learn something in a day. Instead it is a guidebook to help you learn the smart and efficient way. Learning will not be instantaneous. However, it can be done considerably easier. This book is meant to help address two important concerns: time and skill. It will teach you how to manage your precious time so that you can learn skills that are fun and dear to you. Get to ride that bike, converse with people from different parts of the world, conquer that mountain you've always wanted to climb - fast! By simply managing how you think about learning, you can achieve quick results you did not even imagine was possible.In this book, you will find a step-by-step checklist of principles. Each principle has its own chapter explaining how it will help you acquire skills you've always wanted in the least possible time. These are general principles that can be applied to any endeavor, big or small. By the end of this book, hopefully you will be transformed into a learning genius.
