Self-Studying in the Digital Age

Description

You don’t need a classroom anymore. All you need are THESE strategies to master self-learning in the digital age.

Elon Musk once said: “Don’t confuse schooling with education. I didn’t go to Harvard, but the people that work for me did.”

He understood the enduring value of learning outside the bounds of traditional education. It’s a value that visionaries of now and then have more than understood—they lived it.

Take, for instance, Leonardo da Vinci.

Like Musk, da Vinci was a curious man who loved learning, not through formal schooling but by engaging directly with the world. He didn’t sit in a classroom like we did. He learned by doing things on his own. By observing his surroundings and seeking answers through experimentation, da Vinci exemplified the power of self-directed education.

Today, these two men show us that if you’re really interested in something, you can master it just by trying new things and a lot of training.

And it’s actually easy, if you think about it.
