Quotes
You can dive as deeply into a subject as you want. All institutionalized school courses are finite. They can’t cover everything about a given subject because they’re beholden to time. But in self-learning you don’t have to follow a strict curriculum. There are no limits to what you can learn, and you can go much more deeply into your subject than your college professor had time for.
You go at your own pace, and you are only limited by your motivation and discipline. You can decide your own level of difficulty. With self-learning you don’t have to stop and can go as far and as quickly as you want to. Or you could do the opposite: learn more deliberately at your own pace, taking all the time you need to fully understand a topic. Both scenarios are just fine.
Reflections
- I think the positive thing about an institution is that it forces you to learn if you lack motivation. but apart from that, self-learning is much more appealing to me
