1. Be the "Most Valuable Player" (MVP) or the "Fastest Progressive Player" (MIP)?
When we first participated in online learning, we always wanted to do our best, but online, our learning partners, from different industries, and even some courses, will participate.
When everyone is excellent, what if we are just ordinary people?
A book I recently read "Tell Your Story: 66 Small Actions Change Life Scripts", there is a story that is very similar. Are you a "Most Valuable Player" (MVP) or a "Fastest Progressive Player" (MIP)?
Among a group of excellent people, is it the one who keeps comparing with excellent people, then inferior, or to be the one who has made the fastest progress.
compares with excellent people to reduce inferiority, which goes against our willingness to learn. Learning is originally intended to become excellent.
What we need is to be the "fastest-progressing player" (MIP). Don’t compare yourself with excellent classmates and then set up psychological barriers for yourself.
Each student has a different starting point. Instead of finding inferiority among excellent students, it is better to compare with your past self and see if the content you want to learn is clear and whether you can apply it.
is a little better than yesterday's myself, this is the greatest meaning of learning.
2. Change the learning method and learn
Sometimes, in order to solve a problem, we will think about learning more and keep learning, but every time we sign up for many courses, it is left unresolved, and some courses have not been completed.
Instead of staying in theoretical study, it is better to go on the stage to try your own learning effect.
In "Tell Your Story: 66 Small Actions Change Life Script", the author, Mr. Shen Wencai, mentioned that learning a skill is to learn in practice and find people in this field to cooperate.
For example, for side jobs, side jobs ultimately need to receive market feedback. Instead of learning the theory and then slowly developing it, it is better to try and make mistakes in this field first.
For example, if I want to monetize my writing, what I need to do is not to constantly apply for classes, but to publish reading notes on the platform to let the market test my writing level. For example, if I participate in self-media platform activities, I have a large traffic and instant feedback. If I write well, I can also open up side job opportunities.
While practicing skills, you get market feedback. It is really much more efficient than simply studying courses.
3. Confidence is accumulated from small successes again and again.
Everyone knows one sentence: Teaching is the best learning. But there are few opportunities to practice this sentence for us.
In fact, we can practice this sentence every day, such as participating in online sharing, sharing our experiences, and using videos, texts, and pictures. As long as we share, our confidence will be built bit by bit.
As Teacher Shen mentioned in "Tell Your Story", self-confidence is accumulated from small successes over and over again. Nothing becomes confidence at one time, explosive success, that belongs only to history. What ordinary people need is small successes and big changes.
I hope everyone can gain the skills they want from online learning.
