how do you learn?

Do you ever wonder why some people are known as "straight A students" while other people struggle in school - even though they're smart?

Do you know people who didn't finish high school, and have found great success in their careers?

People learn in different ways. And no one has a better learning style than anyone else. Some experts say there are as many as seven different learning styles; but it's easier to narrow it down to three types of learning . . . we'll call them:

Listening learners
Seeing learners
Touch / experience learners

Most people combine the styles of learning

Problem:
You need to paint a room.
How much paint and what supplies do you need?

Listening Learners might:
Call a painter, a friend, or paint store, and ask them for instructions before starting. Might attend a course on painting at the paint store.

Seeing Learners might:
Look online for answers, read several websites. Go to a bookstore and find books and magazines about home improvement and painting. Go to the paint store and read the back of paint cans. Watch a course at the paint store.

Experience Learners might:
Go buy a can of paint, a brush, and start painting. If there's not enough paint or you have the wrong brush, you just buy more. Eventually you learn how much paint and what supplies are required.
