When I was younger I had pretty good grades, but as time went on I turned into a slow learner. Sometimes the information just doesn't stick and it is very frustrating! especially at my job. I don't like to look incompetent, so please help.

From the time I had started school all the way through high school I did fairly well. When I went off to college I had some difficulties. At first, I just thought that it was part of the adjustment to college. I also thought that part of it was that I was finally being challenged. During my sophomore year in college I was really struggling with classes and I aldo found out that my younger brother had ADD/ADHD. I started doing some research on ADD/ADHD. I thought that I might have it. During the spring semester I went and got tested for it and found out that I had it. After I started taking the medication I did a WHOLE lot better at school.

This may be the same for you. Even if ADD/ADHD is not the problem you may want to consider that you aren't being challenged enough in the classroom or at work.

Make sure that you are an active learner and not a passive one. I know this may sound really cheesy, but if your take notes as you go along you are less likely to get bored or tired.
Also try switching subject every hour. If you are one subject for a very long time you are less likely to stay focused on it and you end up procrastinating on another subject if you have a heavy workload.
Some people also learn better with friends. Find an environment that works for you.
I hope this helps.

lazyness & down-right- stupidness,....

You're only human, if we're not on the journey of Higher Learning.
Most of us are just glad that school is finally out for good.

The catch is, life in and of itself, is constantly learning to learn how to live your life - for better or worse, but to live till tomorrow and know that you didn't screw-up too badly.

Its a choice, to just stay the way you are, or look and find ways to better yourself, for the sake fulfillment and self satisfaction that you are endeavouring to be a better human being than you were yesterday.

You can find the things that stimulate your interests and make learning new things fun - just for you. No need to impress anyone. As long as you're happy that you're doing your best to be the real you.

Its a much nicer thing to be. Real & genuine, though you may share similar aspects with others, there is only one You in the whole wide world.

You're not incompetent, its the nature of human beings we all start to slow down a little bit here and there, as the years go by - Its perfectly normal. Its called growing up or growing old, depending on how you look at it.

Sorry that people can't be more helpful. As far as learning patterns changing as you have grown, I feel that you may have an undiagnosed learning disability. As a teacher, I have worked with kids from all levels of ability and it seems that some of my students have fallen through the cracks. My advice would be to talk to your doctor concerning these issues you are dealing with and he/she can run tests to determine if you are indeed suffering from an adult learning disorder.

I hope that your search brings some results and that your life improves. Good luck!

A lot,let me start with you can't concentrate much because of outside force such as: you re not interested, you don't like what you are doing, you are in love and that person doesn't give attention to you,you are up to something but you can't get it.You should know what you really want and follow it and learning comes easy.

motivation on the part of the learner is the number one factor that affects learning

A teacher that provides diksha. In other words, one who not only teaches u the subject but the meaning of life per se

desire and ambition, not seeing how important it is to study and keep our focus on the big picture, now learn from it and change what you can incompetent is a insecurity any thing that is negative will hold you into that insecurity,take what you know and learn more never to old to learn change that negative into a positive

Early exposure to reading. Nothing else even comes close.

THE ATTITUDE OF THE STUDENT AND TEACHER- equally

trust me, I went from a 2.4 to a straight 4.0 within one marking period simply because I'd gotten a teacher who showed me wtf my problem was. I've had straight a's for the last 3 years because of him!
