I remember my mom when I was little she used to ask me did you do your homework? what did you read? I didn't go to school here I don't know, explain it to me. she would pretend that she doesn't know anything so I have the motivation to do my homework to explain her and teach her stuff. Of course, she did it on purpose. she was the one teaching me.

As a scientist I can assure you, that the best way to understand something is to try to explain it. Just walk into your colleague's office, start explaining your problem, and often enough, you stop mid-sentence, because you just solved it. To really grasp a new technique, include it in one of your courses, preferably with a student assignment on it, and your students will pester you, until you've understood it fully.

Being a med student i can give solid testimony that this is one of the most powerful techniques. I remember once during my vacations my youngest brother asking me to tell him what a seizure was. And i blurted the definition out, and he asked me can you please explain in it in simple language. And I did and at that point the realization dawned on me that my understanding of the topic solidified.

I love imagine holding a TED-talk or a lecture for a school about what I just learned. I listen and read a lot of books about self improvment/finance and last, but not least, Story telling! Love lerning other people about all the amazing things I'm learning and imagine me holding this TED-talks and lectures really helps me retaining what I've learned! đđ

When my oldest son was just starting school, he had some problems with understanding quite a lot of stuff. he was too quick to say, "I don't get it." I got him to "teach it to the furniture," which meant that he had to learn it first. He got the idea and even imagined the furniture asking him questions. It really helped him get the idea that understanding sometimes takes a bit of work and thinking and that there was a purpose to learning.
And speaking for myself (I'm a teacher) I've often had the experience of suddenly understanding something very powerfully when teaching it to others.
Nice video.
