Why am I learning? How do I learn?

Why Are you Learning?

I started out passionate about game design, I wanted to build and create worlds, set rules and regulations, create universes with thought, programming allows me to do this and I am still very passionate about game design.

My focus has just recently shifted into programming drone software to make drones autonomous. This will change the world and I am now very passionate about being a part of this drone revolution. Everything I am learning and understanding is for these passions and I want to know as much as possible so I have the ability to leave my mark on assisting to fuel the incredible potential of advancements in drone technology.

I have always known the reasons I am learning and studying the subjects I am studying, it is part of a plan and motivates me every day.

Other factors of why I am learning:

  • To get off the unemployment benefit
  • To get a better quality of life.
  • To make myself better as a person.
  • To learn how technology works, feel more powerful in myself being able to control the technology and influence others.
  • To have the money to live comfortably.
  • To impress my peers.
  • To get a piece of paper saying that I know what I am talking about.
  • It interests me, life is a long journey of learning.
  • Many more... 


How do you Learn?

I love to play the guitar and learn new songs on a regular basis. I also love to sing these songs and I have found the only way that I can manage to learn a new song is by playing the same chords of the song over and over repetitively until it has been stored into muscle memory.

After the chords have been stored in muscle memory I start note the exact chords I am playing at points where certain words in the song should go.(for initial timing). Then repeat until it is stored in my memory.

There is no substitute when it comes to learning to play an instrument for actually doing it. No amount of watching someone else will ever allow you to flawlessly play the song on your first try no matter how long you have spent watching or reading how it goes. This is because of the physical aspect.
