I will assume that I do not need to tell you why this is important.  Nor will I tell how to learn.  If you do not know how to learn then that is the first thing you need to learn.

 I will give a couple of guidelines that I think must be present and come directly from the theory of mimetics and memetics.

1. Learning is not a passive activity.  You must interact with the subject that you study.  For example you cannot be a good carpenter by just being told what to do.  You must also do carpentry.  This is true of every discipline.
2. You cannot learn alone.  It is not good enough to just read.  Without dialogue it is virtually impossible to become aware of what you do not know.
3. You must not just believe because you were told so, no matter who the source.  Always ask why, until you get a satisfactory answer.  (Caution! Don’t do this without end with either your parents or your spouse.)
