How to learn something fast and easily

I cracked the code of how to learn fast and easily. And I am going to share this with you. 

For free!

Recently, I was teaching my kids _(*secret*)_, and almost puking out blood, I decided, maybe the way I taught was not good. So I went online to search and found a course that answers all the problems I wanted. It promises a method that helps us learn _(*secret*)_ in a fast and easy method with their special method. There were also raving reviews. So I bought the course and watched it, totally anticipating it to solve my problem.

The course was a great one. The instructor was clear, the presentation was nice. If I didn't know the topic, I would easily understand it by watching the video, so I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn this topic ( note: learn, not teach).

However, there is this problem.

The special method he used was exactly the same as mine. My method is as special as his. What's special was the copyrighting. Rather it is the copywriting that was special since it convinced me it was great.

I am truly convinced that if you are learning something for the first time, and it is not natural to you, it just takes time and effort to overcome that barrier before it became easy. I recalled teaching my eldest to add when she was in preschool, and we just repeated the same thing in every way we could and she just didn't understand. But suddenly, one day, we taught the same thing the same way and suddenly she got it. Same thing for riding a two wheeled bicycle. A day before she could ride, it seems so difficult, and suddenly the next day, it was fast and easy.

Fast and easy with special method is just marketing. Unless you are already natural at it ( in that case no need to learn, just apply), else there is always a barrier which you need to overcome to make it fast and easy. At the end of the day, everyone's special method is probably similar.

Just in case you think this article is clickbait, let me answer the code to learn- fast and easy method for free.

Persevere till it becomes natural, and things become fast and easy.

After 2 years of Sabbatical from Work, THIS IS IT!

I took a sabbatical from the corporate work back in end 2021. It's going to be my 2-year anniversary for my sabbatical. But , it's time to get serious earning money full-time. Here's why... Meeting Passive Income Objective I haven't been working, and my income was mainly contributed by my passive income from dividends/stocks . If it goes as it is, my passive income this year should be about $2000/ month , or about $24,000 a year. This is $6000 up from last year. Going at this rate, I should grow at $6000/ year. Just like GDP which is always reported as an increment rather than at absolute amount, so does passive income growth, doesn't it? The amount of cash that I have, has slowly been used for invested. And to meet the growth target, it's basically increasing the returns, putting more into the investments, or both. At my comfort level, I'm going with increasing the amount invested. This means finding fresh funds. A full-time job should solve this problem

I worked NOT in 2022 - Here's my income report and lessons learnt

It's late January of 2023, and while it seems a bit late to talk about 2022, it's probably a year where I should pen down because it's different from the rest.  2022 was a year where I worked not at all since I graduated, and I wanted to pen my thoughts. For curiosity sake, I typed in my topic into the chatGPT, and this was what it gave: Well, how do you find ChatGPT's year? I would rate ChatGPT's response as highly excellent. If I were some student writing some journal entry just to submit for as homework, I'll probably submit this. But while AI can help us with general task, it cannot be us, unless we feed in enough inputs for it.  So below is my version, of how 2022 was, a year where I worked NOT. My Income For 2022 Below is a chart showing my income for 2022. And they are broadly divided into 3 sources: Interest from bonds (including the Singapore saving bonds, but excluding T bills), dividends and T- bills. My Income for 2022  The 6 months T-bills become

Passive Income Report YTD and Plans forward

I worked not this year, and here's my income for the first 3 quarters of 2023: My income comes from 3 sources: Interest income from T bills,  Interest income from bonds (which includes Singapore Saving bonds and other retail bonds), and  Dividends (mainly from STI ETFs, with some other stocks). This year was an improvement from last year's income ( read here ), not because of what I've done this year, but from what I've  done last year - delayed gratification. Even more delayed gratification, was from the saving I accumulated since I started working.  Grateful to myself for having few material desires.  If $2000 is the minimum survival sum, I probably survived 62.5% of the time. If I average out the 8 months, I met the minimum survival sum on a monthly basis. My goal for this year is to hit $24,000 passive income, and with 66.7% of the year passed, I'm 70% there. June has been the best month to date, and as you can see, it's contributed mainly through intere
