James Horton - Accelerated Learning: Outthink Anyone

I want to thank you and congratulate you for downloading the book, Accelerate d Learning: How To Effortlessly Learn Any Skill Or Subject, Double Your Reading Speed And Develop Laser Sharpe Focus And Memory Instantly OUT-THINK ANYONE

You may not believe this but you are twice as smart as you think! The five simple actions inside this book will prove this to you by doubling your reading speed... your power to learn any skill or subject and solve problems... your ability to completely out think others when you have to!

In this modern fast paced world of ours, your future success is going to depend on your ability to absorb facts, skills and procedures and put them to immediate use!

Let me repeat that No matter what your age whether you are a man or woman self employed or working for a giant corporation the entire quality of your life will be determined by your ability to learn, to think, to make your mind perform.

I mean that the size of your income, the station you attain in life, the kind of person who will choose you as his friend, even the satisfaction you get out of your spare time activities all will be decided by your ability to keep up with thousands of men and women who are competing with you and, if possible push ahead of them.

Does this sound exaggerated? Then consider these cold, hard facts:

1) About one-third of your entire adult life is spent at work. A man spends more time at his job than he does with his wife and family.

He earns his income from his job gains his status from his job makes most of his friends from his job.

2) And yet from the very first day that you apply for that job you are rated acceptable or rejectable on the basis of your ability to absorb facts, to master skills!

For example a college master's degree is worth $1.3 million more in lifetime earnings than a high school diploma, according to a recent report from the Commerce Department's Census Bureau. High school graduates can expect, on average, to earn $1.2 million; those with a bachelor's degree, $2.1 million; and people with a master's degree, $2.5 million.

Persons with doctoral degrees earn an average of $3.4 million during their working life, while those with professional degrees do best at $4.4 million.

3) But this is only the start of the overwhelming impact the ability to learn will have on your career! At every rung on the ladder every time youre considered for a promotion or a new job your ability to learn (and your ability to prove that learning in formal tests) will make the difference between skyrocketing up, or standing still!

Is It Really That Hard To Absorb Facts? The Answer Is No

Given average ability, men and women who have trouble learning in adult life do so because no one had ever taught them to study efficiently when they were children!

Without the proper study techniques, it is perfectly possible for you to understand only HALF what you should get of a newspaper, magazine, textbook, business letter or report! Without the proper retention techniques, it is possible for you to remember only HALF of what you have just read.

And without the proper techniques of filing and retaining that information you have stored away in your brain! We doom ourselves, through our negligence of the proper study techniques, to struggling through life as a HALF DOER.

You do not have to be brilliant to succeed in life. The only thing separating the average man from a fruitful intellectual life is DIRECTION the ability to get the best possible results out of your own efforts.

Given this direction, any man or woman with the average intelligence can learn new facts almost as quickly as he can read them. Every year, men and women who know how to study obtain business and social success far beyond that which might be expected from their IQ ability level. The difference is TECHNIQUE, pure and simple.

Technique... Direction... Guidance... Method!

These are the secrets of success in life. Not an IQ. Not inborn ability. Not some mysterious hidden talent that enables a few gifted people to solve problems at a glance that other people would never be able to understand, no matter how hard they worked on them.

This idea is pure nonsense. The real difference between the top producer and the mediocre also ran lies, not in ability, but in technique. And technique can be TAUGHT.

Because of this one simple fact and because of the almost miraculous breakthroughs that have been achieved in the last few years in teaching people how to study there is no longer any reason for any man or woman to be forever catching up while his friends are going forward, to suffer the gloom and discouragement of always being behind, to experience learning as drudgery and disappointment, to be branded as dull or slow minded.

Study is a skill, and it can be improved by practice like any other skill.

The ability to study can be improved drastically by learning a few simple techniques of studying scientifically.

And YOU can teach yourself enough of these techniques in a single week to literally start yourself on the road to doubling your power to learn.
