Instruction manual

one

Motivation, that is why it is necessary, to study an area yet unknown, a direction, because self-education is such a thing that in the future can make you change yourself, your existing circle of friends, and your usual type of activity. It is good if the reason for the increase in the level was not an administrative instruction, but personal desires: to climb the career ladder, increase the level of self-esteem or grow in the person of others.

Search for existing developments in potentially selected areas. That is, look back and decompose the work experience into results, both positive and negative. They will help to analyze existing practices, because you need to start something new by analyzing the old, and it’s easier to go along the path where the asphalt is already, not even very high quality.

Compare all directions and choose the most interesting for a self-forming person. After all, taking a training course and acquiring new skills, you will have to work with literature, which is sometimes difficult to perceive if the topic is not curious.

note

1) You can not choose the topic of self-education on the principle: "I want it like him, only better." Envy is a poor engine of progress.

Useful advice

2) Do not be shy to rely on the experience of senior comrades, colleagues, friends. The main thing is to comply with copyright. Without a foundation, a house cannot be built.
