RÜYAMDA BERRAKLIĞIM

Yine yakınım uzak, yabancı yaren.
Kar yere iniyorken nazlı nazlı.
Yine eski günleri hatırlıyorken.
Kahve sıcak, ama soğuk dışarısı.

Artıyor sana olan uzaklığım.
Dinlediklerim artık eski melodiler.
Sislerin arasında, rüyamda berraklığım.
Bu sahil, bu dalgalar demir atmamı diler.

Öğrenilenlerin Kalıcı Olması İçin

Yıllar önce okuduğum bazı kitapların var olduklarını bile unuttuğumu farkettim. Emek, zaman ve enerji harcadığım bu kitapların içindeki bilgilerin de çoğunu unutmuştum.

Bu yüzden kısa bir araştırma yaparak daha kalıcı öğrenme nasıl oluru araştırdım.

Karşıma ilk çıkan "Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve" olarak bilinen Ebbinghaus Unutma Eğrisi.

Bu eğriye göre öğrenilenlerin %40 20 dakika, %50 1 saat, yaklaşık %65'i 9 saat içinde unutuluyor.
Aşağıdaki grafikte bunu anlatıyor. [1]


Öğrenmeyi kalıcı kılmak için kullanılacak yöntemlerden biri de tekrardır. Bu tarz öğrenmeye "spaced learning"(aralıklı öğrenme) deniyor. Bir konuyu 1. 6. ve 13. gün tekrar ettiğimizde bilgilerin %75 civarında uzun süre hafızada kaldığı görülmekte.

Steve Jobs'un Herkesin Öğrenmesi Gereken 10 Başarı Prensibi

1. Learn how to anticipate the future

The ability to anticipate the future is very important if you want to achieve your goal and be successful. An example of how we can apply this to our life is by visioning what we want to be in one year (or five years, ten years, and so on) from now. By having the vision, we can anticipate future roadblocks and prepare to overcome them. For example: if you are currently working as an employee, but see your future self as an entrepreneur, you can start learning the skills that might be beneficial for the future you.

2. Focus on the positive


3. Fail forward

4. Travel the world

The year before he founded Apple, Jobs journeyed to India. Travel has a way of broadening a person’s perspective and expanding their sense of what’s possible  – those are both traits an entrepreneur needs.
Travelling doesn’t have to cost you lots of money, or lots of time. A simple weekend getaway to another city nearby might be enough for you to experience new things and broaden your horizon.

5. Find the right partner

Steve Jobs didn’t start Apple alone. He had a great partner in the form of Steve Wozniak, who complemented Job’s skillset very well.
Likewise, you need to pick the right partner in your life so that you can be successful. The people who you surround yourself with, might make or break your life. So, choose wisely and it will help your way to success.

6. Obstacles are opportunities in disguise

Jobs and Wozniak ran out of money while developing the first Apple computer. Instead of giving in, Jobs sold his van and Wozniak sold his graphing calculator. When there’s a will, there’s a way.
Learn to see obstacles as opportunities in disguise. Once you do that, there will always be ways to overcome those obstacles.

7. Take risks

Steve Jobs was willing to cannibalize his company’s products in the name of progress. Many CEOs would have been hesitant to develop the iPhone, knowing full well that it would help to make the iPod obsolete – but Jobs did it anyway (and took a big bite out of the lucrative mobile market).
Most of the time, we need to take risks in order to move forward. Just be careful and make sure that the risk that you took was a calculated risk. Think thoroughly, weigh the best and worse scenarios of an action against each other, and then you can decide whether the risk is worth taking.

8. Surround yourself with great people

Not only did Steve Jobs have Steve Wozniak as a partner, he also worked with Tim Cook, Johny Ive, and John Lasseter (Pixar CCO). Steve Jobs has surely surrounded himself with great people that have a lot of strength. This has enabled Jobs to create massive success with not only Apple, but also Pixar.
You can learn from him and make sure that you surround yourself with great people (people who complement your skillset) in order to achieve success.

9. Remember you’ll be dead soon

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.”
When you are confused, scared, embarrassed, or anything, just remember that you’ll be dead soon. Life is short; so make sure that you make it count.

10. Don’t be shy to learn from others

In high school, Jobs attended lectures at a computer technology company called Hewlett-Packard. Before turning 21, Steve had worked for both HP and Atari. He saw what these companies were doing and learned what he wanted to do differently with Apple.
You too can benefits from learning from others. I personally see this with many people who tried to achieve a certain goal (e.g.: lose weight). They have been trying really hard, however they are not seeing any results. Sometimes, help from a coach is all they need. It provides them with morale support, accountability, expertise, and a structured plan that helps them get results and achieve their goal.
If you feel like you are stuck in certain areas of your life, do not hesitate to ask for help from the experts. Sometimes that little help is all you need to start getting results and be successful.
