I did not know this concept of learning to learn until recently. Turns out, learning anything has what they call "the snowball effect" where when a snowball falls from a mountain, it gets bigger in size even when some snowflakes fall from the snowball.

Similarly, even if one is unable to retain like 100% of information, and has forgotten few details, the overall learning is much higher than before. This overall learning only gets better with time. I found this deeply motivating and insightful in my learning. Most importantly, it prevents one from getting discouraged even when one forgets few details here and there.

I absolutely loved this analogy and has given me great motivation to move forward in my learning.
