How I Remember Everything I Learn
我如何记住我学到的一切

If you’re anything like me, you love studying deep concepts.But, there’s a dissonance.
如果你像我一样，你喜欢研究深奥的概念，但有一个误区。

You feel like you could never be as deep, insightful, or impactful as your favorite authors, speakers, or even the people you follow on social media.

你觉得自己永远不可能像你最喜欢的作家、演讲者，甚至你在社交媒体上关注的人那样深刻、有洞察力或有影响力。

When 18 year old，I took a chance on reading The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle.

18岁时，我阅读埃克哈特·托利 (Eckhart Tolle) 的《当下的力量》(The Power of Now)。

I practiced the meditations.
我练习冥想。

那本书改变了我的一切。 这减轻了我对未知的恐惧。它帮助我冷静下来，对那些我不同意的人不那么反应。

I didn’t remember everything from that book, but I learned 10x more than any other book I was told to read in school.
我没有记住这本书的所有内容，但我学到的东西比我在学校被要求阅读的任何其他书都多10倍。

Why did I remember so much of that book?

为什么我对那本书记得那么多？

1) Having An Intention 第1001章有意图

I am big on goal setting, whether you write it down or not.
我很喜欢设定目标，不管你是否把它写下来。

When I read the book, it was the perfect fit for my situation in life.
当我读这本书时，它非常适合我的生活状况。

I was at one of the lowest points in my life. 
我正处于人生的最低谷。

So, when The Power Of Now was recommended to me, I had the intent to apply its teachings to the phase of life I was in.
所以，当《当下的力量》被推荐给我时，我有意将它的教导应用到我所处的生活阶段。

I was willing to do anything – and read with a radically open mind – to allow the teachings to transform my mental state.

我愿意做任何事情——并以完全开放的心态阅读——允许它教导我如何改变我的精神状态。

2) Genuine Curiosity 真正的好奇心

I first heard about the book from socialmedia,I had a genuine curiosity to learn what this whole “spirituality” thing was about.
我第一次听说这本书是从社交媒体那里，我真的很想知道这整个“灵性”到底是什么。

Curiosity forced me to read slow, meticulous, and aim to understand what was being said – especially in the areas that were difficult to understand.

好奇心迫使我缓慢、细致地阅读，并致力于理解所讲的内容——尤其是在难以理解的领域。

3) Reducing The Execution Gap 缩小执行差距

Now, when I read the book, if there was something to practice, I would put the book down immediately.
现在，当我读这本书的时候，如果有什么需要练习的，我会立即把书放下。

I remember sitting outside on the porch with my coffee, trying to tap into all of my 5 senses, and doing multiple meditative practices.
我记得我坐在外面的门廊上，喝着咖啡，试图调整我的感官去做着冥想练习。

Since the ideas were fresh in my head, it was easier to notice when something as intangible as meditation was working.
因为这些想法在我的脑海里是新鲜的，所以当冥想这样无形的东西起作用时，我更容易注意到。

Becoming aware that it was working solidified the idea in my head.
意识到它正在起作用，我脑子里的想法就更坚定了。

I had direct experience to back the idea.
我有直接的经验来支持这个想法。

I took the words and grounded them in reality.

我接受了这些话并将其扎根于现实。

Having an intention, genuine curiosity, and reducing the execution gap is an incredible way to retain more of what you study – but we can do better than that.

拥有想要的东西、真正的好奇心并减少执行差距，是保留更多学习内容的好方法 - 但我们可以做得更好。

Over the years, here’s what I’ve discovered to 10X the power of whatever I choose to read, research, or study.
这些年来，我发现的东西比我选择阅读、研究或学习的任何东西都有10倍的力量。

What Are You Building?
你在建造什么？

Praxis (noun) — practice, as distinguished from theory.
实践（名词）-实践，区别于理论。

The modern problem is abundance of information.
现代的问题是信息的丰富。

We love to horde theory, orthodoxy, and conceptual understanding of things without direct experience. Because that means we have to do something we perceive as uncomfortable, when we’ve been conditioned into perceived comfort.
我们喜欢在没有直接经验的情况下对事物进行理论、正统和概念性的理解。因为这意味着我们必须做一些我们认为不舒服的事情，当我们已经习惯于感知舒适的时候。

Life doesn’t work that way, and nobody wants to be “that” guy in the Instagram comments. You
