These emotions lead to chronic stress, a weak immune system and even heart attacks.
Stop
Mistakes force our brain to concentrate on discovering solutions.
Mistakes and learning are like ham and eggs.
Mistakes, errors and failure force us to focus on new learning.
Errors in long-term memory to linger, because the fear of failure cause.
Get this: real learning does not come from reading, listening to lectures, watching educational videos or demonstrations.
Learning new ideas or know-how comes from doing, making mistakes, and pointing out our mistakes and our solutions.
The Most Important Knowledge for 2011
If you remember only 5-10% of something you finished learning - is that the same as never learning it in the first place? Retention of what we learn is everything, right?
If you read an article for information and retain 5 or 10% or even 20 or 30% - did you really get it? Comprehension in school is at least 65%, right?
The Learning Pyramid: Adapted from National Training Laboratories, Bethel, Maine
The following is as real as a heart attack, so remember it.
After 24-hours - we remember just One-Percent of her brilliant research.
Reading a textbook for knowledge and motivated by future testing, we retain just Ten-Percent of the key points after 8-hours.
Reading alone does not cut it, right?
Watching and listening to an Audio-Visual presentation: after 8-hours, all we retain of the material is Twenty-Percent.
Seeing a Demonstration of an idea or new skill: after 8-hours, we retain Thirty-Percent of what we saw.
keep you up fifteen percent of it - after 24 hours.
Participating in a Group-Discussion to learn new ideas or skills: retention is Fifty-Percent - after 8-hours.
After 24 hours you will receive up to date to forty percent in the long-term memory.
If you become involved in PRACTICING what you are learning (ideas or skills) after 8-hours - we retain Seventy-Five Percent of the new knowledge.
After 24 hours we have up to seventy-five percent of the information.
If you take the new knowledge and TEACH it to others - after 8-hours, you retain 90% of the information.
Wait - after one-month - you still retain up to Ninety-Percent of this learned knowledge.
Emotions of Mistakes
To destroy the power of mistakes over your mood, mindset and self-confidence, do this:
a) identify the emotion you are feeling - embarrassment - frustration - shame - (not being perfect, and feeling incompetent).
c) affirmation: repeat three-times.
I learn from my mistakes and get better and better.
e) Type this affirmation on a card or sheet of paper and tape it to your computer.
Real learning by trial and error is to analyze our mistakes (selection) - Mistakes and Failures.
Why? It triggers our emotions, which activates our long-term memory for the correct answers.
Trial and error is a powerful tool.
The Secret is implementing
Listening, reading and watching a demo are not real learning.
If we recognize what we learned in the real world, it becomes sticky and useful.
Mistakes come from implementing new knowledge or skills.
It is to start, put into action, and to use it.
Antonyms are to cancel and stop.
When you implement the new ideas or skills - mistakes are natural.
Implement is from Latin, meaning to fill-up.
Making mistakes is never negative, it is necessary for real learning.
In physics, power flows from Negative to Positive.
All you need is your comfort zone to expand and learn from their mistakes.
Afterwords
Choose to remember that listening - reading - an audio-visual - and seeing a demonstration - do not cut it as learning.
You must get your hands dirty with implementation of new knowledge or skills.
Got it? I knew you would.
