<h2 style="text-align: center; "><span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 0); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">4 Easy Ways To Learn Outside The Classroom</span></h2>

</div>

<p>I was not a classroom nerd. I never wanted to be.</p>

<p>It was my mother who wished me to be like my sister, Sonakshi. I could not
agree more that my sister was more intelligent and dear to the teachers, and my
mother, like everyone’s mother, beat me up to study. Thank God that I took
science after passing higher secondary and was left to study my own.</p>

<p>The next two years were cheering and equally enlightening. I was my own
master. I did not have to write the diary at the end of the day, nor was I in a
compulsion to recite the facts of history, poems and lessons of Hindi and
English to my mother.</p>

<p>Though later Neeraj Sir took the charge of the subject – English – and
treated the whole class in a way my mother did. He was a tough master. His hand
banged the face like a hammer on an iron piece. There was no escape. You had to
study. Do or die, was his motto.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Anyway, whatever I say about him, he developed my interest in English. I
learned: it is often tough people, be it a teacher or a coach that drive you
outside your comfort zone. Recalling the apt words of Henry Adams, “A teacher
affects eternity. He can never tell where his influence stops.”</p>

<p>Coming back to the discussion, nothing can substitute the education received
by the teacher. However, it does not matter from what source you receive the
education as long as you are exploring your unique abilities and untapped
powers. Moreover, if you are like me, not a classroom nerd, you can educate
yourself in the following four easy ways.</p>

</h4><h2><span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 0); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">1. Get Your Best Outfit</span></h2><h4>

<p>When I used to study, I was in my best outfit – I’m talking about
self-motivation here. Without self-motivation, I couldn’t have made it so far.</p>

<p>There might be students in your class who perform better than you. Perhaps
they are more intelligent and solve the questions in a blink of an eye. But you
don’t have to lose the motivation.</p>

<p>I have seen people with self-confidence falling down in over-confidence.
Moreover, it’s always intrinsic motivation that lifts you up in studies and
life.</p>

<p>In a span of 3-4 months, even a motivated dunce can beat an intelligent
student having a low level of motivation.</p>

<p>What you can start learning outside your classroom is to find different ways
to stay motivated. Motivation and willpower are like the battery of your mobile
phone, which goes on reducing throughout the day. It’s necessary to charge them
every now and then.</p>

<p>Above all, if you are motivated you will be able to digest more information
in less amount of time.</p>

<p>Everyone has his own way of finding motivation. The sooner you find your
motivation, the better.</p>

</h4><h2><span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 0); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">2. The Rule of Association</span></h2><h4>

<p>Perhaps you’re finding difficulty in memorizing some facts or formulas. If
so, associating the difficult information with the weird imagination can be
very helpful. That kind of imagination which can make you laugh off your
stomach.</p>

<p>Human beings have an unlimited reserve of creativity. The more creative you
become associating difficult subjects, the sooner you will be able to recall
the information at the examination.</p>

<p>I usually go with the method of deep study. Every time I read a piece of
information, I ask myself “How is it possible?” then I go on surfing the
internet to find the root of the information.</p>

<p>For instance, years ago I was studying Feminism (an idea where woman share
their concern against the patriarchal system of the society) and I came across
the word “Misogamist”. I spent a few minutes on the internet and found similar
words:</p>

<p>Misogamist = a person who hate marriage</p>

<p>Misanthrope = a person who hate human beings</p>

<p>Misogynist = a misanthrope who dislikes women in particular</p>

<p>Misology = the one who shows hatred in logic and reasoning; it was first
mentioned by Plato in his works to express that all type of debates and
arguments are of no use. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>You see how I improved my vocabulary by studying in-depth. Deep study
develops permanent knowledge, though it can be time-consuming. If you have
leisure hours, try an in-depth study. Believe me, it’s fun.</p>

</h4><h2><span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 0); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">3. Vision Your Material Again And Over Again</span></h2><h4>

<p>In short, I want you to revise your study material.</p>

<p>Our mind stores information in bits. It takes time to create impression on
the mind. If you are not revising your study material, forget about getting
good grades.</p>

<p>The word “revision” has meaning in itself —re + vision. It’s difficult to go
through the material for the first time, but on your fifth or sixth revision,
you will have the entire study material on your tips. Remember, practice makes
things permanent.</p>

</h4><h2><span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 0); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">4. Sail Your Boat With Strongest Hand</span></h2><h4>

<p>I take you back to my school days. When I was in sixth class, an Omnibus
loaded with books arrived at school. All the students were allowed to purchase
what interest them. I bought the title <em>Aladdin AndHis Magic
Lamp. </em>It cost me thirty rupees. I read the whole book in less than
a week. Of course, at that time I didn’t know I was a good reader. However, now
I look back I find that the moment I purchased the book, the writ of fate was
written down.</p>

<p>The interest in reading not only helped me to understand the subjects in a
better way but also led me where I’m today.</p>

<p>Perhaps you are good at memorizing facts or excellent in taking down notes
or skimming throughout the pages or maybe you learn through debates and group
study. I have friends who are good listeners and listen to the audio lectures
day in day out.</p>

<p>Every student has an unexceptional ability through which s/he can reduce the
burden of studies to half. The good news is deep within, you know what
extraordinary quality you possess. What you all need is to get aware of those
superhuman powers.</p>

<p>Concluding, we’ve discussed how:</p>

<p>Before leaving, I respectfully want to ask you — What you want to take away
from this post? How are you going to model the lessons you’ve just read into your
own life? What one ability you want to develop in the coming years?</p>
