*   I don’t know everything and that’s perfectly fine, no one does, and that’s how I go into new subjects is having an `open mind` and setting the right `intention`.
    
*   I make sure to be `patient` with myself, I truly believe that patience is a very useful skill to have because it demonstrates to myself that I am `committed` to the learning process, and I am able to be `relaxed` when grasping new concepts.
    
*   I find a `reason` or `motivation` for why I am learning this new subject, if you don’t have a purpose for learning then you won’t be interested in continuing your learning journey.
    
*   Being `focused` when learning a concept that is completely brand new to you is important, I try my hardest to remain focused because it keeps my brain `hardwired` to the subject.
