The LR

They say, " for the first 3 to 6 months, you should allocate your time for the LR search."

So, my life is about it, surf for content, read and read... but sometimes I have hard time trying to understand what is being written, what more if it is technical paper.

This is what I want to share.. I came across this book, "How to be Twice as Smart" by Scott Witt, and the author has written a topic on "Reinforcing What U Read: the SMART way". He listed out the following :

S - Subject: What was the piece about?
M- Material: What important info was presented?
A - Assertions: What if any, opinions did the writer present?
R - Reaction: What is your opinion of the piece?
T -Trademark: Name one element of the piece that makes it stand apart

I try as much as possible to apply his advice and believe it or not, it makes things simpler since u know now what to get from the papers.
