About
“…so long as I live, I must have a student’s inquiring mind and thirst for learning.” ~ Gandhi
Self-Learner is a lifestyle guide for a happy and successful life. Our main topics are finding your passion, developing your mind, acquiring skills, being a successful person, and living happily in every moment.
I must warn you first that most entries on this blog are not step-by-step tutorials on how to accumulate riches, how to pick up girls in a club, or how to learn a foreign language in 7 days. In fact, the Web is quite bloated with blogs like that (some of which are really really good, of course), so I don’t think I need to rehash their insights.
While practical techniques are important, what really should deserve the spotlight are the inner changes that need to take place in the mind before techniques themselves can become effective. After all, how can one execute a killer pickup line if he’s too nervous to even make the approach?
