Learning in school is often easier than in your personal life. Not because your brain is magically sponge-like, as in most cases it isn’t, but because there is somebody who stands at the front of the classroom and makes you. You learn to pass an exam, not to succeed in life, and the only way to do this is to teach yourself. Here are my tips on how to do it!         

1. Get your hands dirty
Let’s be honest; researching all those skills on line is not helping you learn anything. Learning by doing is the best way to learn!

2. Stick to it!
 Things will get hard, that’s inevitable. But it will get better if you are patient and practice! Giving up will mean that all of the work you've already done is useless- which it won't be if you keep going!

3. Step by Step
Just being good at something doesn’t mean knowing all complex things. Taking things step by step is the best way to gain knowledge. Forget the complex stuff for now- learn words before complex grammar, basic cooking skills before a seven-course meal, simple dance routines before whole routines and basic computer skills before complex algorithms.

4. Pick Something that you are already interested in
If you're not intrigued in somehting already, you'll probably find learning about it really boring! Pick something you don't know much about but would like to. You're likely to start learning about it and want to learn more and more!
