2) Keep a To-Learn List
列个待学清单
We all have to-do lists. These are the tasks we need to accomplish. Try to also have a to-learn list. On it you can write ideas for new areas of study. Maybe you would like to take up a new language, learn a skill or read the collective works of Shakespeare. Whatever motivates you, write it down.
我们都有事情的待办清单。有些任务是我们需要去完成的。不妨也来列个待学清单，写上新领域的学习想法。比如你想学一门新语言，一个技能或是阅读完莎士比亚系列著作。无论你想干嘛，都写下来吧。
3) Get More Intellectual Friends
交更多好学的朋友
Start spending more time with people who think. Not just people who are smart. But people who actually invest much of their time in learning new skills. Their habits will rub off on you. Even better, they will probably share some of their knowledge with you.
和那些乐于思考的人多接触，这可不是单单和智慧的人，而需要你去和真正愿意花工夫学习新技能的人在一起。他们的习惯会影响到你，最好的莫过于还会跟你分享一些知识呢。
4) Guided Thinking
多思考
Albert Einstein once said, Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking. Simply studying the wisdom of others isn’t enough, you have to think through ideas yourself. Spend time journaling, meditating or contemplating over ideas you have learned.
爱因斯坦曾经说过：任何读死书却不动脑子的人只会越来越懒得动脑了。仅仅研究其他人的智慧远远不够，你需要有自己的想法。花点工夫记录、冥想，思考那些你学过的东西吧。
5) Put it Into Practice
付诸实践
Skill based learning is useless if it isn’t applied. Reading a book on C isn’t the same thing as writing a program. Studying painting isn’t the same as picking up a brush. If your knowledge can be applied, put it into practice.
纸上谈兵永远没有意义。读一本C语言的书和写程序完全是两个概念。学习画画和拿起画笔也不能相提并论。如果你明白如何运用知识，就赶快付诸于实践吧。
