This document discusses effective learning strategies. It argues that learning is about becoming educated rather than just improving grades. The wrong approach is to focus only on memorization and spending more time, which can cause frustration. Instead, students should find effective ways of learning that make it a stepping stone to success. The document provides strategies for "studying smart" including teachback sessions, daily reading, writing, speaking, and thinking exercises. It emphasizes starting these habits now rather than procrastinating, as tomorrow may not come if action is not taken today. The goal is for students to overcome themselves as their own worst enemy in learning and become life-long learners.
