Wonderful speed reading classes this past weekend! Sixty more people were set off into the world with the skills learn how to read anything and everything they want.
It so pains me to think of how many people conclude that they aren't very good learners, that school isn't for them, and therefore, they are limited in career choices and in the heights they can achieve. Most of the time, nothing could be further from the truth. I have found that the only thing holding most people back from achieving their hopes and dreams is their perception of themselves. Too often, this perception has been created based on false assumptions.
The way most of us were taught to read is actually nearly the opposite of the way our brain works. Getting sleepy while you read, losing your place, and even hating to read result from your brain being totally bored with the way you read.
It is troubling to think of all the people who have settled for a job or given up on a dream because they thought that studying or learning wasn't for them. Such a waste.
The good news is that for two hundred and fifty bucks (less when we have a sale), you can change your entire way of learning and reading and become anything you want to become. It takes some practice, to be sure - anything worth doing does.
It is something worth considering.
