This was a big problem with me. I would not listen to any teacher, though I would listen but I would not believe or grab what he was saying. I would write down whatever the teacher was saying and then go home and read the chapter from the book. Now this started after 7th class as before that i had lost focus but after that I wanted to learn and when you want to learn how can you learn without reading everything and sometimes made me feel stupid as i would read a chapter many times, and people would say look at the ratio of input vs output..uff..fair enough i was dumbo but my method of studying and every one knows how you can study or learn best. School was completed long back and the formal education too but learning never stops and this habit still continues. Whenever i am told anything, till i study it myself and get satisfied internally that I have understood it, i do not feel comfortable. i cannot even talk about that. my mom kept saying granthas and shastras and i was like what the heck, ok let me read and i did that, after that when I someone argues, I know whats there and i know what I am talking about. It is my way of learning and same way everyone has own way.,
Now the big question is why are we unable to learn even when same thing is available to everyone, why is that some people are enlightened and some are more evolved and many are not? god created us same, and whole universe is equal to everyone then why this universe is not equal? well the answer is, everything is inside you and if you have understood this simple fact, you will start learning everything yourself and once you do that you become your own master and you become the best student too. Become your own master and you will learn everything and a learner is always a student. if you have the best master, you will become the best student.
