ital Data on Study
e of the biggest barriers to learning a new subject is its menclature, meaning the set of terms used to describe the things it ais with. A subject must have accurate labeis which have exact anings before it can be understood and communicated.
If 1 were to describe parts of the body as "thingamabobs" and hatsernames," we wouid ali be in a confusion, so the accurate ming of something is a very important part of any field.
A student comes along and starts to study something and has a rible time of it. Why? Because he or she not only has a iot of new nciples and methods to learn, but a whole new language as well. Lless the student understands this, unless he or she realizes that one s to "know the words before one can sing the tune," he or she is not ing to get very far in any field of study or endeavor.
Now 1 am going to give you an important datum:
The only reason a person gives up a study or becomes confused or able to learn is because he or she has gone past a word that was not derstoo d.
The confusion or inability to grasp or learn comes AFTER a word it the person did not have defined and understood.
Have you ever had the experience of coming to the end of a page J realizing you didn't know what you had read? Well, somewhere 'lier on that page you went past a word that you had no definition
