Demands of today encourage us to continue to learn, no matter our age, if we want success. Learning is not for those aged 5 to 20 years, is also not always be in educational institutions and courses. Even though we had spent thousands of time learning, we only know little about effective learning. There is no shortcut to understanding and active participation in learning can make learning to be effective. Attention to lessons in class, reading, stop-delay Nuda, studying in a quiet, does not play during lessons, and is actively ask the things that normally we believe can provide the best results.
