The legendary woman who was reborn from the ashes

If you want to learn more effectively, the most direct and efficient way is to learn from others. From childhood to adulthood, we have learned a lot of knowledge, but only a few of them can be deeply imprinted in our minds.

Similarly, we have heard countless maxims and aphorisms in our life journey, but only a few of them can truly guide us forward at critical moments.

What is the problem? The answer is not complicated. In fact, we often only focus on "input" in the process of learning, but ignore the crucial "output".

The "input" here refers to the process by which we acquire knowledge and information, such as reading, listening to lectures, etc.

"Output" means that we think about and digest the knowledge we have learned, and then present it in our own way to create something new. This process of output is actually a process of internalizing and recreating knowledge.

Input alone is not enough to constitute a complete learning process. The importance of output cannot be ignored. Output is the application of knowledge and the expression of understanding.

Through writing, speaking, discussing, etc., we can transform what we have learned into our own language and thoughts and show them to others. This process can not only help us deepen our understanding of knowledge, but also improve our ability to express and logical thinking.

At the same time, through communicating with others, we can also discover our own shortcomings and further improve our knowledge system.

When learning a skill in life, we can always master the essentials quickly. For example, learning to ride a bicycle or swim, as long as we practice for a period of time every day, we will soon be able to master it.

However, when applying this learning model to knowledge learning, we often fall into a misunderstanding. We only focus on the input of knowledge but ignore the transformation and internalization of knowledge.

Take reading as an example. We are always eager to achieve results and hope to finish reading a book in the shortest time possible. Then we think that we have mastered the knowledge in the book and can enjoy ourselves with peace of mind.

But in fact, reading does not mean understanding, let alone mastering. Knowledge must be processed and internalized by the brain before it can truly become our own.

This is like the relationship between a computer and a USB flash drive. Although a USB flash drive is plugged into a computer, it does not mean that the computer owns all the data in the USB flash drive. If you want the data in the USB flash drive to truly belong to the computer, you must copy the contents of the USB flash drive to the computer's hard drive.

Similarly, the process of our reading is like plugging a USB flash drive into a computer. In order to truly make knowledge belong to us, our brain needs to process and internalize this knowledge, just like copying the contents of the USB flash drive to the computer's hard drive.

How to output and internalize knowledge? Take programmers as an example. What they input is the usage of various technical books and function libraries, and what they output is the program code they write themselves.

These codes are new things they created based on what they have learned and their own understanding. They are a practical application and transformation of knowledge.

Another example is writing. We input various words and information, and output our own articles and opinions. In the process of writing, we need to sort out, analyze and think about the knowledge we have learned, and then express it in our own language.

This process not only deepens our understanding of knowledge, but also exercises our thinking and expression abilities.

Therefore, if we want to truly master knowledge and transform it into our own, we must pay attention to the output and internalization process of knowledge. Through continuous output and creation, we can better understand and master knowledge, and at the same time improve our learning ability and creativity.

After careful consideration, those invisible thoughts and inspirations are successfully condensed into concrete words or works. This is the magic of "output". It is not just a simple action, but also the sublimation and transformation of your personal knowledge and experience.

When you finish a well-written article or create a creative work of art, those originally scattered and seemingly messy fragments of inspiration are integrated and presented in your mind. At this moment, you seem to become a magician of knowledge, integrating the wisdom of others with your own understanding to create something that truly belongs to you.

When we were in school, we may have heard this advice: "The best way to truly master knowledge is to teach it to others." This is the essence of the Feynman learning method.

When you try to impart knowledge to others in a clear and concise way, you are actually deepening your understanding and mastery of knowledge. Each output is a re-examination and sorting of knowledge, allowing you to gain a deeper insight into its essence.

I remember that year, when a reporter interviewed a Peking University student about how he got admitted to Peking University, he proudly replied that it was his mother who "tricked" him into Peking University.

Here's the thing. Since elementary school, his mother told him that she had never been to school and that she hoped he could teach her what he had learned in school after school every day so that she could learn with him. So he had to study hard in school every day, otherwise he wouldn't be able to teach his mother when he got home.

Unconsciously, several years have passed, and his academic performance has always been far ahead, ranking among the best. He has not only exported the knowledge he has learned to his mother, but also reviewed and improved himself while helping his mother study. This is the magic of output, and it is the embodiment of the Feynman learning method in him.

In fact, real learning is not just about how much information is input, but also about how to transform this information into your own and output it effectively.

Arthur Gates, a psychologist at Columbia University in the United States, discovered through experiments that the best learning effects often come from moderate input and large output.

He used data to tell us that we should spend 30%-40% of our time inputting new knowledge and 60% to 70% of our time thinking about how to express this knowledge in our own way. This way of learning will benefit us more.

So, how do you develop the habit of output? Actual practice in trading is undoubtedly a low-cost and efficient way. Through actual practice, you can organize your thoughts, express your opinions, and sort out your knowledge system.

Actual combat can also exercise our logical thinking and cognitive abilities, allowing us to continue to grow in the process of thinking and expression.

You can also broaden your horizons and ideas by communicating with others, participating in seminars, etc. Sharing your views and opinions with others can not only exercise your expression, but also allow us to gain new insights and inspiration from others' feedback.

However, the acquisition of knowledge does not stop there. In this era of information explosion, paying attention to high-quality traders is also an important way to obtain high-quality input.

These excellent traders are at the forefront of the industry and have a broad vision. Their insights can often provide us with unique perspectives and profound inspiration. We should cherish these resources, draw nutrition from them, and enrich our knowledge system.

At the same time, we should also pay attention to the connection between knowledge. When we connect new knowledge with existing knowledge, our memory will be more profound. On the contrary, if we just memorize it by rote without sharing or applying it with others, the knowledge will quickly disappear from our minds.

We also need to set some small output goals for ourselves. Many people always think about doing big things, but often ignore the power of small things. In fact, completing small goals can not only give us a sense of accomplishment, but also allow us to accumulate experience and skills without realizing it.

Moreover, small goals are easier to achieve and can prevent us from being intimidated by the sheer size of the task. When we break down a big goal into small ones, we will find that it is not so far-fetched.

Input and output are undoubtedly two crucial links. They are like the two wings of learning, working together to push us to fly deeper into knowledge.

Therefore, in learning, input and output are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. Without input, output will be empty; without output, input will become meaningless. In the process of learning, we should pay attention to both the absorption of knowledge and the application and expression of knowledge, so that input and output can jointly promote our growth and progress.

In short, input and output in learning are two important links that constitute the complete learning process. We should accept new knowledge with an open mind, examine their authenticity with a critical eye, and pay attention to the application and expression of knowledge, so that learning can become the ladder of our growth and progress.
