The way

I tried to type from A to Z without looking at the keyboard, slowly and carefully. It was not slow, but I typed two alphabets wrongly.

When I was just a kid, I used to see someone that could turn his head aside to answer something or watch television while typing in extreme speed, chatting with his friend via yahoo messenger. It happened to be an impossible task for me to type by using both of my hands. I never learned the correct way about keyboard fingering so sometimes I have to glimpse through the keyboard to avoid such typographical errors. I can type faster now, at least 10 alphabets in 2 seconds, or even faster, but up to certain extents, it is the correct fingering which does the job better.

We don't learn everything in the same way. We developed our own measurement towards everything new to us. When learning Mathematics, some new learners preferred to count apples in solving addition or subtraction in the sense that it would come easier while some were not. When writing, some learners tended to write the alphabet "d" by completing the "l" first while there were others who would like to complete the "o" first.

When it comes to a larger scale, for instance, the way of learning, maybe the difference is much more apparent too. Student A doesn't like to waste so much of his efforts in order to understand a concept and rather to memorise the facts one by one. Student B is different. Rather than understanding deeply, he touches everything, however he can't catch the details. Can you say which one is better?

The starting point and the practising method could bring irreversible effects. The equilibrium point is not hard to explore if we can balance ourselves in all aspects and judge everything wisely.
