Actually this scenario is pretty normal according to the experts. The experts have determined that people do not learn well in the “passive” way. Learning byjust listening to a lecture or watching someone else really does not work in the experts’ opinion.

However by doing the activity being lectured on, experts have found it to be a much better and more effective way of learning. It has proven to be much better than by watching, listening, or reading. They are not advocating that we get rid of the classroom but that we supplement classroom learning with hands-on learning. Sometimes classroom learningis the only option available however we now realizethat learning takes place by reading about a subject,discussing a subject, hearing others speak on thesubject, watching audiovisual presentations, studying real life experiences or by doing the task itself.

Different presentation methods result in differentretention rates. For example, it has been discovered that as adults we expend 90 percent of our focus in the first five minutes of a class.

The next best method of learning, after the reading or hearing methods, is seeing something done. And finally the best method is by doing.

Some old school teachers treat students like they are totally empty and it is up to them to fill them up with some amount of the world’s knowledge. However we are seeing “interactive” learning becoming more and more popular today. This type of learning recognizes the experiences that each student brings to the table and utilizing these experiences to achieve effective learning.
We must take into account the differences in personalities as they have an affect on the individual’s preferred learning style. No two people learn alike. Next time you attend a meeting at work, try your best to be an active participant in it instead of just soaking everything in. You will find that you may learn something and you will come away with a sense of achievement.

You will discover that when you take an active part in learning that the time will pass by much quicker and you may just get your tasks done earlier.

Li Ka Shing The superman of the orient

Born in the Guangdong province of China eighty one years ago, he and his family fled to Hong Kong in 1940 to avoid the turmoil brewing in China at that time. Inspired by the success of his wealthy uncle, in whose house he lived in during the early years of the family’s life in Hong Kong, Li was determined to make a place for himself in the world. And did he make a place for himself indeed.

The refugee, teacher’s son, and salesman made his mark via integrity and adaptability, creating a business empire through hard work and by adhering to his personal moral compass, a business empire that includes banking, real estates, construction, retail outlets, hotels, domestic transportation, electric power, airports, ports, and shipping.

He is also a living proof that a high degree of education is not mandatory for success in the world, being a high school dropout himself, while also being a noted philanthropist. He has pledged approximately $10 billions out of his wealth for charities and philanthropic purposes, distributed through the Li Ka Shing foundation, which makes its presence felt worldwide.

Adherence to the value investing philosophy and personal frugality seems to describe Warren Edward Buffett best, a frugality that seems surprising considering that the 79 year old entrepreneur is the third richest man in the world. The CEO of Berkshire Hathaway and a notable philanthropist, his interest in making and saving money has come a long way for this remarkable man.

His career started out small – delivering papers, selling golf balls and stamps, as well as running several pinball machines in barber shops – but it was his interest in the stock market that eventually gained him his riches. Later he worked for Benjamin Graham, a figure that played a large role in shaping up Warren Buffett’s philosophy on business, before he went out and opened his own partnership after Graham retired and closed his.

Becoming a millionaire in 1962, he still lived in a five bedroom house in Omaha even today, a house he had inhabited since 1957, and his frugal lifestyle never changed even with his raise in fortunes leading to his being the current multi-billionaire that he is today. Having slated over eighty percent of his wealth for philanthropic purposes, he would be one of the greatest entrepreneurs and philanthropists of our time.

Born William Henry Gates III on October 28, 1955, Bill Gates worked his way from a Harvard dropout to become one of the world’s greatest philanthropist, entrepreneur, and as well as one of the richest individuals in the world. Currently worth US$53 billion, he simultaneously holds the post as the chairman of the software giant Microsoft, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as being the director of Berkshire Hathaway and CEO of Cascade Investment.

Starting his career by joining a partnership with Paul Allen, Bill Gates’ first creation was a BASIC interpreter for the MITS Altair 8800 platform, later becoming more popular under the name Microsoft BASIC. From there, they made a splash by becoming the sole licensing agent for the operating system that is the DOS, later more known as the MS-DOS.

Where Bill gates truly brought a renovation to the world of software operating system was when he introduced his GUI-based Windows operating system, still Microsoft’s bread and butter even now, two decades after its introduction. His philanthropic career is no less impressive, with many multi-billion dollar donations made under his name, and his effects on the present-day society cannot be discounted.

Macbook. iPod. iTunes. iPhone. Pixar. All these names have one thing in common: They are the products of one man’s designs and successes. This man is Steve Jobs.

Born Steven Paul Jobs on the 24^th of February, 1955 in San Fransisco, California, Steve Jobs shared a similarity with another well-known multi-millionaire and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Bill Gates: Both men had dropped out of college without finishing their degree, and judging from their success, did not harm either men in the least. His career began as a technician at Atari – while attending meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club with Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak.

His career as an entrepreneur started in 1976, when he, Steve Wozniak, Ronald Wayne, and A.C. “Mike” Markkula Jr. founded Apple. The company produced the Macintosh, the first commercially successful small computer with a graphical user interface, which was first developed by Jef Raskin, and later taken over by Jobs himself. Despite his role by the founding of the company however, then-CEO John Sculley relieved Jobs of his job as the head of the Macintosh division following the industry slump on 1984-1985.

Around this time, Steve Jobs founded another company, NeXT computer, which produces a technologically advanced but cost-prohibitive workstation that nevertheless managed to garner a strong following amongst those that could afford it, generally those in the scientific and academic fields. NeXT eventually transitioned into full-time software development in 1993, after having sold only 50000 machines.

Also around 1986, Steve Jobs had purchased The Graphics Group from Lucasfilm’s computer graphics division. Later renamed Pixar, this new company was originally intended to be a high-end graphics hardware developer, but after years of low profit, contracted with Walt Disney Studios to produce computer-animated feature films which Disney would co-finance and distribute for them. After multiple box-office hits (and four Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature), Disney acquired Pixar for $7.4 billion, which resulted in Steve Jobs being the Walt Disney Company’s largest single shareholder.

When Apple purchased NeXT in 1996, Steve Jobs returned to the company he co-founded, and soon became its interim CEO. By terminating several projects, he concentrated on returning Apple to profitability, at the same time changing the licensing program for the Macintosh clones to make it too costly for the manufacturers making these machines to go on producing them. Many of NeXT’s technology became integrated into Apple products, like the NeXTSTEP, which evolved into the Mac OS X.

Under his guidance the company’s profitability increased, especially so with the introduction of the iMac, and various other new products. At 2000, Steve Jobs became Apple’s permanent CEO, and continued to build a reputation for appealing designs and powerful branding that had kept on working well for Apple.

The company had branched out in recent years, delving into new fields with the iPod portable music player, iTunes digital music software, and the iPhone multi-touch display cell phone. Steve Jobs is both admired and criticized for his consummate skill at persuasion and salesmanship, and while he stimulated innovation, he also reminds employees that delivering working products on time is just as important as innovative and attractive design.
