I Became a Fast Learner at Everything by Applying These Simple Techniques
From failing the basic MS Word course to mastering 30 skills in 6 months
In the summer of 2019, I had this craze to learn something cool — something that could give my resume an edge. I wanted to learn to code so badly.
So I started taking classes at a tech company nearby. The first week went awesome. I met good people with mutual understanding, and I had high-quality lecture sessions.
After about 3 weeks of lectures, and presentations, it was time for the first test of the semester. I was looking all worked out that morning. Probably because I had spent all night reading course materials and practicing all that I’ve been thought for the past 3 weeks.
Long story short, the test was all done and the results were in. I felt so happy and confident after the test because I knew I put in all my efforts into making sure that I get a good grade. But, as they say, “only the results will determine how hard you prepared.” I kept my fingers crossed.
As I anxiously searched my name, my smile slowly tightened up, heart rate spiked. It was an E in all subjects (including basic MS Word usage).
