Study brings us so much joy when we are totally absorbed in it, when we are forgetting all other things that are not related to it, when we are laughing happily at our progress.

But this happy paradise can also turn into hell when we are totally absorbed in it, when we are forgetting all other things that are not related to it, when we are laughing happily at our progress, because, in the gloomy distance, we know we have enlist us to be a slave of its mercy.

The easiest way to kill a passion of learning Chinese is to do it too much and for too long. Our brain is just not wired this way. If a student goes to Chinese class for 4 hours every day and for three months consecutively , that probably translates into eight hours study every day and a very tired and unproductive student at the end of the third month. Still, people consider that is brave, hard working and with stamina. There is definitely something wrong.

My recent observation about class notes is that they are to the point of totally useless. I like to take notes during the class. And then I seldom, if ever, go back and check them. Most of the time, I give myself console of being a good student because I take notes quite diligently. The biggest function of my class notes is that they are there. For a lot of people who are learning Chinese, it is quite true that they never review their notes. They may have vocabulary cards they go back often, but practically nothing else.

Recently I made an effort of reviewing my old notes. Then the real reason dawned on me. Notes are boring. It's in a fragmented and chaotic manner. Therefore it really is fine not to take them too seriously. However, I am not so sure if I can ever dispense this habit. Probably I really should.
