"Working hard is for cows" - on enjoyable learning


Student A: I do not know how to do this and that for your course study....
Professor B: You need  to work hard..



But "Working hard is for cows".....When applied to study  and intellectual learning, you  are using the transmission model.

My advice: Adopt enjoyable learning and keep enjoying life by learning with an enjoyable experience. Figure out how intellectual learning can fit into your life goal and career aspiration to achieve life-long quality of life.

The transmission model of learning requires "hard work" and "sacrifice"; it creates "unhealthy stress" in the process of intellectual learning with this model. This model of learning is not effective, relying too much on "short-term" memory to make short-term academic achievement.
