Self-Improvement Sunday #2: How to Make Real Progress
Welcome to the only newsletter that promises to bring you a healthy dose for your self-improvement, every week. Well, it’s still the start of a new year, and while we are talking about the new year, then let’s talk about your new year’s resolutions.
I am sure a lot of people would have decided to give up on some of their habits and in exchange to develop new healthy habits. However, before the shit gets really serious let me give you a true perspective of the picture.
The truth is that we all “Confuse motion for Progress.”
We all tend to exaggerate facts to make us look smarter, knowledgeable, richer, and more beautiful. Seldom are our assessments rooted in reality. More often than not, they are just meant to make us feel good about ourselves.
Therefore, to really make progress we must first understand what progress really is. Then later we can ruminate about the ways to get there. However, you don’t need to worry. This week I wrote an article about personal growth, where I explained what personal growth really is, and then I mentioned 6 personally tried and tested ways for getting there.

A Valuable Insight
Coming into the third decade of the 21st century, we must understand that the ability to learn well is not only more valuable than ever before, but the value compounds over time. The things that you learn, the lessons that you understand, and the mistakes that your correct today will not only improve your ability to learn vital and valuable lessons tomorrow but will also help you to learn faster.
If you want to win any race, then you must know how to run fast. It’s as simple as that.
I’ll soon be writing an extensive article about ‘The Art of Learning’ with an elaborative study about my personal technique of learning: OAU’M (Observation Analysis Understanding – Manage). However, if you have some useful tips about ways to learn faster and in an effective and efficient manner, then do tell me by replying to this e-mail. And don’t mind throwing in your feedback for this week’s article.
Until next time,
