Fast Learning, Slow Lessons, and Finding The Balance

The prompt reminded me of a guy I knew years ago in my secondary school. How he could remember every single thing he read from his books was amazing, I later learned that he had a photographic brain where he could actually see the book away from the book and write stuffs out of it because it's his book and he wrote it himself.

Brains like that could learn literally anything and the guy was very smart and intelligent all the times I knew him, he was naturally a fast learner. Sadly, I learned that people like that have to be extra careful how they learn so fast to avoid having mental issues. It's a reminder that too much of everything truly, could be bad for people.

The average speed in learning is the best balance and I consider myself to be one among them. There are things I can easily learn and there are some I struggle real hard before I learn and there are the ones I don't think I'll ever get a hang of what they are. Learning is a huge part of one's life, it's where growth and success come from.

I can not even start counting the number of things I've had to learn growing up, right from childhood. They are many but I'll mention a few that were easy and the ones that were hard to learn. In my little girl days, it was so easy to learn to read and write to the extent that I could write my own stories and read them to my siblings.

When it came to studying and going to classes in my secondary and university, I learned a lot of subjects and courses easily but I can still remember how I struggled to understand physics and chemistry. It took me all my years in the university to get a good hang of what I was taught in those courses, they were hard for me.

In learning a skill, I've explored a lot of them as I grow wiser and hoping to expand my sources of income. While some came to me naturally like writing and storytelling, I struggle with a few other skills and I must say they do tell a lot about myself. Learning is one way I can prove to myself that nothing is too difficult to know if I want to.

One significant thing I struggle to learn presently is, Forex trading. But if I am being honest, I am not giving myself the time and chance to actually learn it as deeply as I can. This is because I am looking for other ways to learn it as easily as possible, not that I have given up on it. It reveals one of my limits in learning and I don't mind yet.

Learning is what I will always do as I grow even older so I don't see much limits, I see more possibilities because there are more things I have learned and can learn than the ones I couldn't learn and can't learn in the future so I remain positive and ready to learn whenever it comes.
