Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #33: Learn to Practice Effectively for More Efficient Learning.
   To really learn a skill we have to practice it. To learn even faster and more effectively, we have to know what to focus on when we practice. It help to have an expert around who can guide us and give feedback. Usually, what they will do is tell us the most crucial parts of the task that need to be met before anything else can be accomplished. For example, in typing it is critical to have your hands in the right position so you hit the keys you are supposed to. In piano, you should be aware of the hand positioning for a song as well as maintaining a relaxed posture – being relaxed helps to move the fingers more fluidly and to avoid injuries.
   
   Often times when we practice something over and over, we see patterns and find that we have weaknesses. Many people will avoid their weak areas because it is a good challenge. They will instead practice what they are good at, so they feel better. As you might guess, it is actually a better use of our time to focus on improving our weak areas when we practice a new skill. In doing this, you can advance more quickly. To practice effectively we should identify the most essential parts of the task, begin practice, identify our weaknesses, practice some more, and continue to seek feedback from experts. As you get better you may create something new. In that case, you can get feedback from an audience as well. Do not forget that the quality of your practice is much more important than the quantity. With focus, you will not need to practice as much to reach mastery

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #32: Record Your Thoughts and Observations.
   Leonardo da Vinci had a massive collection of notes on his observations, sketches for inventions, and his own thoughts. He wrote something sown almost every day, accumulating many journals of material in his lift. If you are curious to see some of his recordings, there is a compilation called Leonardo’s Notebooks. Thomas Edison is another genius who took prolific notes. He took very detailed notes on his ideas about electricity, light bulbs, and anything else he thought could be important. All in all, there are five million pages of his notes held as part of the United States historical record. These were two great and prolific geniuses, and they consistently documented what they learned.
   
   Realize that notes and writing provide a record not only for yourself, but if you were to make a great breakthrough (or even if not), other could use them as well. It is recommended to have a notebook, a blog, or even an audio recorder to document anything that seems to be important. Something interesting about writing down ideas and thoughts is that the more you record, the more new ideas and thoughts pop into your mind. One of them might even be the breakthrough idea of a genius.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #31: Think About How You Personally Affect the World Around You.
   Simply by existing we consume other life forms every day. We alter our environments by taking up space and using trees for our homes and paper. People that are more conscious need to find a higher purpose after realizing how much we can consume without even noticing it. Living a life of self-gratification isn’t as satisfying when you realize that everything you do affects the rest of the world. Many of us use gasoline, a nonrenewable resource. Many of us us a vehicle that releases carbon and that plays a role in global warming. Many of us also throw out trash that ends up in huge landfills or in the ocean. We can choose to help the world, or ignore the issues, but either way we all have an effect. It takes someone who is self-aware, and aware of the world to realize that even though he or she is just one person out of billions, that it is possible to have a positive impact. It is possible to make a difference for the better, for ourselves, four children, and out future. We simply need to educate ourselves further, take action, and encourage other to do the same.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #30: Focus on Gaining a Depth of Knowledge Rather Than Just Acquiring Superficial Tidbits.
   The culture today is constantly bombarded by flashy and quick bits of knowledge. One day one thing is the big craze to know, the next day it is something else – These are mostly useless to have. They are interesting factoids that might help start a conversation, but they are not the way to build true knowledge and understanding. Einstein was once asked how many feet are in a mile. He said “I don;t know, why should I fill my brain with facts I can find in two minutes in any standard reference book?” He had a point. Knowing random details about an assortment of topics has a limited use.
   
   Today you don’t even need a reference book, Google will have the answers as fast as you can type your question. The point is we should pick what we really want to learn, and immerse ourselves in that topic. Learn as much as you can, to the point that you’ve truly gained something worth knowing, something that you can apply in your daily life.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #29: Life is Exciting, Fascinating, and Magical.
   If you take a path that steers you away from seeing this, you might want to reconsider what you are doing. There will never be anyone else quite like you. No one else will every see the world quite like you, or do exactly what you do. Realize that some of the greatest geniuses had abundant energy withing themselves. They needed to have this energy in order to work as much as they did, and to reach the levels of understanding and achievement that they did. The world around us, and the life that is right in front of us can act as an inspiration for us to truly make a difference.
   
   Some geniuses love life so much that they see it as their mission to protect it, and so they work as biologists or political activists. Other geniuses such as Leonardo do Vinci were so inspired by life that they created some of the greatest art works of all time. Use life to inspire you, to make connections, to understand, and to relate to everything in a deeper way. And don’t forget that you too are a part of this experience we call life.
