Many things are difficult to learn; does the human brain, intelligence quotient, really degenerate?

Good afternoon. I would like to commend you for taking another step towards self-improvement.

In life, there are many instances where one may feel helpless. However, there are two main courses of action one can take: confronting problems head-on and attempting to avoid them altogether. Based on your statement, it seems that you have already chosen to confront your problems head-on, which is a commendable decision. Pursuing learning and personal growth is a wise choice.

In response to the questions you have posed, I offer the following suggestions, which I hope will prove beneficial.

Firstly, with regard to the process of learning.

The process of learning is gradual and occurs on a daily basis. While the content of learning may evolve, the action of learning itself cannot be interrupted. It is possible that an extended period of disengagement from learning has resulted in a lack of proficiency in understanding the course content. Alternatively, the content currently being learned may not align closely with one's past experiences and studies, making it more challenging to grasp.

It is my recommendation that:

1. In addition to attending class and listening carefully, it is advisable to read more case studies outside of class, preferably in combination with real-life situations. This will facilitate a deeper understanding and enhance one's impressions.

2. When confronted with challenges in your academic pursuits, it is advisable to seek guidance from your instructors and fellow students. While theoretical knowledge is undoubtedly valuable, its practical applicability in professional settings may be limited. Therefore, it is essential to grasp the underlying principles and contextualize them within a real-world framework. This will enhance your understanding and equip you with the ability to apply theoretical knowledge in a meaningful manner.

3. Additionally, it would be beneficial to consider your motivation for enrolling in the course and what you hope to gain from it.

A genuine passion and fervor will enhance one's comprehension and assimilation of knowledge. When learning is perceived as obligatory, the brain's capacity for active absorption and critical thinking is diminished, resulting in a significantly slower rate of learning.

Secondly, an analysis of the individual is required.

Life is replete with instances of helplessness, discontent, grievances, and immutable facts. Given the inevitability of these occurrences, it is imperative to accept them wholeheartedly. While acknowledging these realities, it is crucial not to lose hope in life, and even less so to abandon oneself.

It is commendable that you have chosen to commence your personal development at the intellectual level. It is my sincere hope that you are genuinely committed to making these changes, as only through a sincere desire to improve can you truly effect the transformation you seek.

If one does not learn this skill with sincerity and merely wishes to pass the time, it would be prudent to seek out a more straightforward pursuit that offers tangible financial compensation.

For example, activities such as painting, dancing, calligraphy, singing, and others, as well as psychology and travel, are all potential avenues for engagement.

When selecting an action, it is advisable to identify a course of action that will promote emotional stability and facilitate critical thinking. It is important to avoid actions that are unduly challenging, as this can exacerbate emotional distress and impede emotional regulation. Reflection on past experiences, particularly those involving negative emotions, can also contribute to a sense of emotional turbulence. This can, in turn, lead to difficulties in the present moment. It is, therefore, essential to consider the potential consequences of one's actions and to choose courses of action that align with one's long-term goals and well-being.

It is therefore recommended that one should live for oneself, for one's future, and avoid allowing the emotions of others to affect one's own. One should endeavour to pursue activities that are valuable and meaningful to oneself, and avoid setting oneself excessive challenges.

Life should be more straightforward, more straightforward, and more optimistic.

It is my hope that this learning experience will afford you the opportunity to gain additional professional skills, enhance your financial rewards, and facilitate your personal growth.
