Principles of Learning
I found the answers on wikipedia. There are three basic principles given by Edward Thorndike an American Psychologist.
1) Readiness: You should be physically, mentally and emotionally ready and eagerto learn.
2) Exercise: Things most often repeated are best remembered.
3) Effect: This refers to an emotional reaction of a student.Learning is strenghthened when accompanied by a feeling of satisfaction basically feel good factor. You should feel pleasent about what you are trying to learn.
The additional three principles added since Thorndike are as follows
4) Primacy: a little difficult one to understand. Primacy, state of being first. What ever you learn first time should be correct and complete in all manners. Becasue that forms your perception. It is very difficult to unlearn wrong things and learn new things.
5) Recency: Things most recently learned are best remembered. Frequent reviews and summarization help fix in the mind the concept which is being tauht or learned.
6) Intensity: A sharp, vivid, dramatic and exciting learning experience teaches more than a traditional routine or boring experience.

Hello World,
This is my first ever post in the world of WEBLOGs and I am really very excited, never thought of doing something like this. I started writing personal journal when I was 12. I wrote continuously for about 10 years on special occassions some times without any occassion. And I found it to be a very good tool to help myself define the path of the future, whatever I wrote was straightaway going into my subconcious and perhaps what I am today is the fruit of those early days of diarywriting. Since my childhood I have always been a language lover. Have read a few books and was quite confident about my future doings in life. But after I passed out from college, I was so into survival that I forgot what's life is all about. Now that I have reached a level where I can really think , recreate things and give this world back with the added value . I have always followed my instincts (consiously or unconsiously) through out my 31 nos. of rotations completed around the star SUN. The payback time has come. I am a Debtor. And seriously I am in a mood to increase the number of people who'll cry when I die.
