Why we can't learn efficiently and effectively

Why we can't learn efficiently and effectively? By Naeem Khan.

Because we have to learn how to learn? How to learn is not skill but Meta skill.  

It’s long been acknowledged by experts that both hard and soft skills are needed in most jobs. 

While hard skills include the teachable, quantifiable abilities you need to do the job and will be reflected in your qualifications, soft skills are, of course, slightly more difficult to measure. These can include teamwork, communication, conflict resolution and problem-solving abilities.

Then we come to the meta-skill. This is a type of skill that enables you to learn and build new skills faster. It also allows you to improve and develop other skills.

Skills are temporary because they are learned and developed, and therefore can be forgotten and refreshed. By contrast, a meta-skill is a permanent part of you that enables you to achieve things. For example, while learning a language is a skill, the ability you develop to learn languages, thus making it easier for you to learn several, would be a meta-skill.

Other examples of meta skills are:

Street smartness which is  exposure to challenging and complex situations gives you the opportunity to build up confidence, resilience and adaptiveness to overcome obstacles in the future, but, more importantly, to anticipate them first.

Self-awareness

Self-awareness is a key element of emotional intelligence and vital for successful life. Knowing your strengths, weaknesses and personality traits is a meta-skill that will enable you to develop some of the competencies you lack, make the most of the qualities and skills you possess and recognize how well you work with others.

Empathy is a hugely important people skill. It can help you develop other skills such as problem-solving. Having the emotional intelligence to see where a person is coming from can help resolve conflicts, get to the root of why something isn’t working, and build a productive team. 

Resilience is often thought of as a key meta-skill. Overcoming failures and being able to keep trying will enable you to experiment and learn without throwing in the towel, which opens you up to incredible opportunities.

How to achieve our goals? But how to set our goals ? Let's learn setting of goals. 

If we can't communicate our thoughts, experiences and feelings, we're not productive and happy. Let's learn how to communicate skillfully.

With Communication Skills we develop Interpersonal skills and there is no need of  Isolating Yourself to avoid challenges or running away from our responsibilities. 

How to deal with negativity, inferiority complex, negative people, lack of consistency,  emotionality, addictions and distractions?
