Probably when I was in elementary and middle school, I read an article about the reading method introduced by an old educator"Whale Swallowing" and "Cattle Food".
Whale Swallow".It's like a whale, swallowing it and all the food goes into its stomach. This way of learning is about a "quantity". The accumulation of quantity is very important, and there is no qualitative leap without the accumulation of quantity, so we must try to contact and understand the maximum amount of knowledge in a limited time. Through a lot of reading, we can absorb most of the knowledge in a field in a short period of time, and lay a solid foundation for subsequent in-depth study and deliberate practice.
"Cattle food".It is to regurgitate like a cow, return the contents of the stomach, and chew it carefully to facilitate digestion and absorption. The main content must be learned and understood. There are a lot of important knowledge points in a field that are difficult for you to grasp and apply with a quick glance. In particular, some important concepts have been visualized and simplified by the inventors as much as possible, so that everyone can accept them more easily.
When Einstein first proposed the theory of relativity, it is said that only three and a half people could understand it. Later, in order to explain the theory of relativity in an easy-to-understand manner. He made a very vivid analogy, he said, when you are with a beautiful woman, you feel that time flies quickly, but when you sit next to a hot fire, you feel that time flies very slowly, and every minute is torment, which is the theory of relativity.
There are some very important points in each area, and 10 points is like a big boss in the game, you can't beat him without defeating him. We must overcome these hurdles and gnaw down these hard bones seriously.
These two metaphors are very vivid, so that I still remember them vividly decades later, and I can recall them completely without even using Du Niang, which shows that an ingenious metaphor is very important for the conveyance of articles and opinions.
Since the beginning of the year, I have been using these two learning methods, learning quickly and working quickly. Use the saved time to think, use it for life, and friends who are interested can also give it a try.
