The Best Way To Learn Something Is To Teach It
Learning is challenging - it takes a lot of focus, energy, concentration, exertion, patience. Further, learning itself is a skill that one can practice, hone and improve. As we fall out of practice after our school years with our own tried, tested, and true learning techniques, we get increasingly challenge to encode new information. We forget from the time we were kids, how practiced and good we once were at ensuring new information successfully ended up in our neural networks. All this, while as we age our neuroplasticity decreases, rendering new information more difficult to assimilate into networks as learned knowledge, or wisdom.
