To learn is to associate. Associate old stuff already learnt with new stuff to be learnt and distinguish between the two. Fit the new concept into a big picture. That's all. I believe my problem is that I am lost in trivialities and therefore, slow in grasping the whole picture. Ahhhh, all these small details in my charter financial test material are killing me now. It is NOTHING difficult. The mathematics is no-brainer. The financial statement analysis is easy to understand. Yet all the details about cash flow and tax and acounting conventions are unnecessarily troublesome and irritating. I am now in urgent need of a rock-solid concept that underlies the whole finance thing, providing the foundation that I can build my system on.

you have to really get into it, and eventually be at ease
with it. for

reading, i read a lot of english fictions in china very
quickly and probably

very carelessly; it helped for sure but my writing stank
straight way all the

time. it was a few years later that i read favorite pieces
very very slowly,

digesting sentence by sentence, even word by word and
grabbed any chance to

express in english. they turned out both pleasurable and
rewarding.

similarly, for some papers in your professional area, you'd
read/analyze

them tens or hundreds of times to gain depth and extent of
knowledge.

the way of things is connected.

some people who don't care for literature or novels a single

bit, also have very fine english. they are very
self-displined and

purposeful, reading journals (those not related with their
area) in an

awefully regulated pace, or they are very outspoken and
enjoy chatting and

writing. they'd push themselves forward. practice, practice.
even native

english speakers grab those chances of public presentations.
we can't be

thouroughly at home with english. but i can pretend, can't
i?;)
