Holistic Learning
Smart people don’t just learn better. They learn differently. While many students get caught up in memorizing facts, intelligent learners know to seek the bigger picture and connect the facts together. This form of learning I call holistic learning.
Holistic learning is basically the opposite of rote memorization. Instead of reciting lists of facts, rules or formulas, you seek to connect ideas together. Instead of having separate boxes in your head for geometry, algebra or ancient India, you deliberately link facts together, so they form a bigger picture.
系統化學習
聰明人不僅學的更好，而且學習的方法不同。當許多人在死記硬背的時候，聰明的學生則在尋找將這些知識串聯起來的方法，我將這種方法稱為系統化學習。
系統化學習是與死記硬背不同，與背誦公理、定理和方程式不同，你是在尋找他們之間的關系并理解他們。這就像將你腦海中零散的幾何學、代數學和歷史學組合在一起，形成一個體系。
