Holistic Learning
Smart people don’t just learn better. They learn differently. While many students get caught up in memorizing facts, intelligent learners know to seek the bigger picture and connect the facts together. This form of learning I call holistic learning.
Holistic learning is basically the opposite of rote memorization. Instead of reciting lists of facts, rules or formulas, you seek to connect ideas together. Instead of having separate boxes in your head for geometry, algebra or ancient India, you deliberately link facts together, so they form a bigger picture.
系统化学习
聪明人不仅学的更好，而且学习的方法不同。当许多人在死记硬背的时候，聪明的学生则在寻找将这些知识串联起来的方法，我将这种方法称为系统化学习。
系统化学习是与死记硬背不同，与背诵公理、定理和方程式不同，你是在寻找他们之间的关系并理解他们。这就像将你脑海中零散的几何学、代数学和历史学组合在一起，形成一个体系。
