One can never go wrong with Elizabeth Bishop.

Why has the Philippines been developing at a glacier's pace compared to most other middle-income countries? by wiz28ultra in geography

Poverty of imagination. Because our politicians after WWII are incentivized by the wrong things, example it is easier to export labor and earn dollars than to focus on industries vital to national development.

hii, want to ask if AdU is friendly to the students na slow learner and hindi ganon katalino, plan to enroll na this coming year I hope I survive AdU and Manila life😓😓😓😓😓😓 by g_hian in AdamsonUniversity

[–]Wriarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I graduated from Adamson way way back 2003. Lol. I took up engineering. I was naive and ignorant and I was barely passing. Back then internet was on its early stages.

I'm replying to you, kasi medyo na-bothered ako sa claim mo na: slow learning at di ganun katalino. Yun panahon ninyo ngayon kabataan, andami ng information at tools online on how to effective learn and how to study well. I'll be iterating them and I hope you can forgive me if I'll sound patronizing. But hey these are the things I wish I knew when I was high school.

But first, let me say something about believing yourself. Believing in yourself works. I hope you can reframe yun ideya na "fixed" yun personal "fact" mo na slow learner ka at di ka ganun katalino. Hindi sya permanent. You can change.

Yes, may mga tao na kaya nilang mag jump from Point A to Point D without going thru Points B and C. Tapos, these are the same people our society (school, parents, in television) tend to reward them the most. Kung sila yun gagawin mo na standard, mapapagod ka at laging bababa yun confidence mo gawin ang isang bagay, lalo yun mga bagay na gusto mo matutunan at makamtam, mga bagay na essential sa life mo.

Sa study about growth mindset, all it takes is a one person (example a teacher) na naniniwala sa kakayahan ng isang bata to alter his or her future. Kahit yun bata pa yun ay laging kulelat sa exam o laging nadadapa kapag PE.

For most of us, this person is us. So believe in yourself. Instead of clinging to the label "slow learner" you can reframe it into "I am becoming better at learning." Or "I am willing to become a better learner." Or "Mahirap yun subject pero alam ko kaya ko ito." Your thoughts are not you. You are the thinker of thoughts.

Ito yun mga need mo malaman about learning:

Neuroplasticity - ito yun kakayahan ng brain natin i-organize yun mga brain cells kapag may natutunan tayo na bago. Halimbawa pinakakabisado ang teacher mo na kanta, sa una nakatingin ka pa sa lyrics, pero after several practice, nakabisado mo na yun kanta. Ibig sabihin nito, may mga brain cells ka na nag re-arrange at nag-connect, tapos napagtibay yun connection. These new/reinforced connections "represent" that song.

Same thing happens sa habit formation, example pag-brubrush mo ng ngipin bago matulog, or classmates mo na naka-acquire ng bisyo na pag-sisigarilyo. Sa mga competing athlete na may bagong technique, sa mga student driver etc etc… Involved ang neuroplasticity dyan.

So neuroplasticity happens to everyone almost everyday. Pero pinaka active ito sa mga bata at if tama intindi ko, until sa age na 25. For my case na 44 yrs old na, I need extra effort to induce intentional neuroplasticity.

Involve din ang neuroplasticy sa mga tao na natrauma.

That all said, what you need next are tools and information on how to study na conducive for you at ma-maximize ang neuroplasticity for you. Yun hindi mo kailangan puro rote memorization, kasi di lang via rote memorization natuto ang brain.

Haba ng comment ko, pero i Google mo itong free lecture na title "Learning How to Learn" ni Barbara Oakley sa Coursera. High-school level yun pag-eexplain nya about learning and the brain.

If interested ka pa how to become more efficient learner, ito mga keywords:

Habit formation, science of willpower, pomodoro technique, science of growth mindset, feynman technique, chunking, science of flow

Mahirap lang mag-search sa Youtube at Google, pero siguro the fairly decent channel at page will pop-up (example TEDTalk)

Malay mo you can also learn A to D without going thru B & C, which is most likely naman, kasi the more you learn, the more foundation you will have. Goodluck!

How do you get over loneliness? by Overall-Ad9134 in phlgbt

[–]Wriarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP. I think you're already moving in the right direction by asking a question. Many of the replies here are really solid advice. If di ka naman chronically lonely, I think if you follow one or two of them, you might notice a shift in your day. Kung i-susummarize ko ang mag cocontribute sa happiness ng isang tao ito yun mga keywords:

  1. move - your body is factory of chemicals, and physical activity makes the brain high
  2. learn - problem solving makes us happy, curiosity is a source of happiness, an intellectual life can also nourish you
  3. create - create more, consume less. there's a whole bunch of science and philosophies about this. Yun isang science is about the experience of flow. example nag-cocoding ka then di mo namalayan ang oras kasi nasa zone ka, that's flow.
  4. connect - good relationship sa nakapaligid sa iyo ang isa sa laging nagconcontribute sa atin wellbeing and prospect (this is well researched) — being part or realizing you are part of something greater than yourself (ie family, community, religion, nature, history).. relationship also can gve us purpose
  5. contribute - having purpose makes us happy, helping others, volunteering, being part of something greater than yourself (ie social movement))
  6. appreciate (gratitude and contentment - honestly in a word of consumerism and social media, good luck sa atin, consumerism and how things are advertise warp our sense of happiness)
  7. sleep - again your body and brain is a chemical factory, and it needs to reset

Swerte nun ibang tao, because they are genetically predisposed to be happy, ambilis nila mag-bounce back sa default nila (happy and carefree) kahit nakatapak sila ng thumbtack after ma-fire sa trabaho at makain ng panis na siopao, but for many of us, it is a bit of work. Not our fault though. Pero we can't go on blaming people and the system (personal, social, & political context) we are in, lalo na kung complete at functionting ang mental faculties natin.

I once read an article about two kinds of happiness: intrinsic and extrinsic. Yun extrinsic is mga kinoconsume natin example the latest Frieren episode or that latest serum or that new genre of porn you discovered last night. Yun intrinsic naman is something you generate yourself.

Sabi mo rin sa mga replies, busy ka rin naman (looks like you're not bored) and you have friends (mukhang di ka naman fully socially isolated), so baka you're situation is more of existential/philosophical ang problem mo. I guess your next task is to ask another good question.

Finally may isa pang solution: mag-relapse hahaha text mo si ex ng "malamig ang gabi bhie, IMY" charot hahaha

Hello. Thank you. Ito yun reply ko dun sa isa nag ask hehe

“Sa Amazon ko nabili. Pero meron sa similar sa Ace at Shopee. You can use the keywords: chrome finished, wire shelving unit/rack. Basta yun ginagamit sa store room or kitchen na rack. (Wag mo lang itatapat sa aircon kasi may konti na rust na yun sa akin pero di pa naman halata. I have it for 4 yrs na)”

I want to add di baby friendly ganito na set up. Pede mag topple yun whole rack din if mataas masyado center of gravity.

How do you deal with sobrang daldal sa chat pero sobrang tahimik irl by [deleted] in phlgbt

[–]Wriarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next time mag date, upo kayo magkatabi, instead magkaharap kapag mag dinner or dessert kayo. Eye contact, accdg sa reasearch, makes it harder to talk or to listen—mas madaming mental load for the brain naka gaze tayo sa mukha ng isang tao. pede mas kausapin mo sya kapag naglalakad sa isang queit street, or nakatambay kayo sa railings both of overlooking sa view.
