I hope for those of you who are also picking up photography find these tips useful.
How To Learn Anything Faster
With the world moving at such a rapid pace, new stuffs are coming out at a speed never before.
Regardless of your age, gender, how educated you are, where you are from, how much money you have or which position you hold in a company, embracing changes and learning new things should have become a way of life.
Otherwise, you’ll soon find yourself becoming obsolete… or even redundant.
Looking back, in a matter of just 10 years, the amount of information and data has increased by 10 folds. That’s a lot!
On the other hand, the amount of time that we have in a single day – 24 hours – is exactly the same as it was 10 years back.
So, that also means with the same amount of time that every one of us has, we now have at least 10x more information to consume and digest, with more coming out every day.
This can be really overwhelming!
Therefore, to keep pace, we all have to learn how to learn faster.

Leadership matters
At the beginning of the day, it's all about possibilities. At the end of the day, it's all about results.
But in today's ultra-competitive marketplace, good results aren't good enough.
To win, you need to produce extraordinary results.
Extraordinary results come from extraordinarily performing teams. And where there is an extraordinary team, you can bet there is an inspiring leader.
That's why leadership - specifically, your leadership - matters.
- Quoted from the book: Leadership Matters, by Lee J. Colan (one of my favorite teachers).
