Every one of us basically has the same brain capacity or neurological makeup. So why do some of us perform exceptionally well while the rest turn in a mediocre performance? It’s because the super performers have learned to access their brain power. This, coupled with their strong powers of concentration, produces the fantastic results you do not even dare fantasise about. But now, with the super learning strategies you are about to learn, you too can tap into your amazing brain and get the same results!
Absurd notion? Well, think again! Top students enjoy their studies as much as their play. They know that before you can ever be good at anything, you must first love and enjoy it. In this book, you will learn study techniques that will remove the pain from learning and put the joy back into it.
‘YOU MUST UNLEARN WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED.’
– YODA TO LUKE SKYWALKER IN ‘STAR WARS:
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK’
Successful students know that success depends on flexibility. They are able to change their behaviour and strategies to reach their goals, knowing that those who are inflexible or unadaptable simply get left behind.
As we go on, I will teach you to use your brain in ways that you never have done before. You may even feel uncomfortable at first. This is because society has programmed you to follow certain rules that are not at all useful to learning or behaving. In order to break free from the rut that you are in and scale to greater heights, you must unlearn what you have learnt, and be prepared to learn new things that will transform your life forever.
