Drill Sarge for Entrepreneurs Part 20
This is VERY informative when you are learning or more importantly when you are teaching others.
People on the average remember 10% of what they READ after 2 weeks! So just READING doesn't cut it!
HEARING it and even SEEING does not do much better only moving to the 50% bracket.
It's only when we begin to TALK about it with OTHERS do we start to move into an ACCEPTABLE bracket i.e. participating in a discussion or giving a talk (good reason to learn PUBLIC SPEAKING!).
Of course the best way to learn is up in the 90-100% bracket where you GRUNTS want to be. Here you are DOING a dramatic presentation, SIMULATING a real experience (like my mentor Bob Fritz highly suggests!) and finally for an A grade - DOING THE REAL THING!
So now you see why our US Special Forces SIMULATE before DOING THE REAL THING. It is the BEST way to LEARN, GRUNTS!
