Feeling like you are stupid is an attitude. I find it is one of the biggest barriers to learning. If you feel stupid, you are less likely to try "stupid" things that teach you a lot. Also, feeling stupid leads to anger, and anger prevents learning.
Aaron Hillegass said this best in the beginning of Cocoa Programing for Mac OS X, and I'll never forget it. You can preview it on Amazon under "How to learn."
- unoti 14y agoReally good advice there. The summary is: 1.) get 10 hours of sleep a night when working on new concepts; this is the key to being able to focus. 2.) Instead of thinking you're stupid, be at peace and accept the fact that the subject matter is hard. Looks like a great book.
