Nepe Dai, Good to hear from you. You wrote: It is a common knowledge that learning PRIMARILY depends on individuals IQ. It is included inside the wisdom part. IQ high means your mind is sharp, ie you are wiser. You understand things easily. If you are a man with very high IQ, but don't focus on your study, can you learn? Haven't you seen very smart person but don't wan't to see books? How can he learn? If you have very high IQ and you drink all day and night, can you learn? I have seen an alcohol adict with very high IQ. He is almost crezy and can't learn anything. Every person is different. Some are wise and some are not. But the learning process apply to all. Those, who are wise (with high IQ), must have concentrated mind and must be disciplined, to learn. They might learn little faster, which is another thing. Those who are less wiser (with low IQ), must be disciplined and they must have focused mind. They might learn little slower, this is another thing. If somebody is quite dull, ie doesn't have wisdom at all, s/he also can not learn though s/he is disciplined or attentative. You have to have all three ie Discipline, Awareness and Wisdom to learn something. Any Doubt? As far as the word morality is concern, I want to take it back for now :). I will use it in right time. I don't know how you define morality, but for me, it is the action which is not harmful to you and to others. Abstaining from doing wrong is morality. If you see deep inside of the word "discipline", you will find the morality hiding. For example: If you are involved in doing drug, you are indisciplined, you are immoral. If you have illigal relationship with somebody else's wife, you are indisciplined as well as immoral. If you spent your time just by playing cards you are immoral as well as indisciplined. If you lie or cheat others, you are indisciplined as well as immoral. If you involve in fighting, quarraling, bullying, killing etc, you are indisciplined as well as immoral. If something is harmful to you it will most likely harmful to others and vice-a-versa. Because harmful is poision, it doesn't differenciate you and other. Indiscipline is doing something unhealthy or harmful, which is immoral too. The points your have made are true. You wrote: The fact is, a proper management of time is important for learning You are right. Imagine an ideal case that you have only one subject to learn. Say you are doing your research on Protein Folding in the human cell. When I raised the questions I mentioned that you have all ideal environment. You don't have to worry about anything, money, paper, time, relexation etc. Just focus on your project and keep exploring and keep learning. However, the point you made is good one, it is considered. I hope I have cleared things to some extent. However, I will not be expalining anymore. Here I conclude: A person (smart or dull) must be disciplined, must have concentrated mind and must be wise to learn something. Discipline, Concentration and Wisdom are fundamental qualities to learn or to do research.
