You don’t need a classroom anymore. All you need are THESE strategies to master self-learning in the digital age.
Elon Musk once said: “Don’t confuse schooling with education. I didn’t go to Harvard but the people that work for me did.”
He understood the enduring value of learning outside the bounds of traditional education.
It’s a value that visionaries of now and then have more than understood–they lived it.
Take, for instance, Leonardo da Vinci.
Like Musk, da Vinci was a curious man who loved learning, not through formal schooling but by engaging directly with the world.
He didn’t sit in a classroom like we did.
He learned by doing things on his own.
By observing his surroundings and seeking answers through experimentation, da Vinci exemplified the power of self-directed education.
Today, these two men show us that if you’re really interested in something, you can master it just by trying new things and a lot of training.
And it’s actually easy, if you think about it.
We have the whole world at our fingertips with the internet.
You can learn anything online.
However, the majority of people are filled with anxiety.
They doubt their methods and don’t even know where to start.
The hesitation toward self-learning is not unjustified, but you should overcome it to unlock your full potential.
Keep in mind that the importance of independent learning is also supported by research.
In the 2014 meta-study called “Self-Directed Learning: A Tool for Lifelong Learning,” researchers found that learning things on your own is super important not just to understand stuff better, but also to boost your confidence and ability.
Published in the Journal of Marketing Education, the study says that if you know how to take control of your own learning, you’ll increase your self-efficacy, and in turn, of course, you’ll get better and smarter.
Based on modern research, self-learning is your ticket to continuous growth and a successful future.
But again, in a noisy world of endless online resources, where do you start?
