1 Everything is in Alien language for me
Don’t worry, that was my feeling at the beginning of my Fab Academy, and I’m sure that was the feeling of most of us.
If you don’t understand now, don’t worry. This is a slow process of learning.
But if I could understand this I’m sure that you will understand it too!
Remember that in the first class, Neil talked about a strange spiral of knowledge or something like that?
He was talking about this!
The spiral¶
| So if you’ve never seen this before… I present to you THE SPIRAL |
|---|
 |
| (SOURCE:researchgate.net/) |
You can see that this spiral is divided in 4 sections
-
Socialization: You meet people, you talk about things, you start with the dialogue.
-
Externalization: You express things. Like for example “I DON’T KNOW THIS THING!!!!!!”
-
Combination: Here is when you stop linking concepts and start Learning by doing. This is what Fab Academy looks for.
-
Internalization: The knowledge is yours. Now you know your field, and you can start building.
| Everybody starts here |
|---|
 |
| So don’t worry. Make sure you go to the EXTERNALIZATION as soon as possible, get frustrated and LEARN BY DOING right after. |
