One of the things I keep patting myself in the back was the secret realization during the school days (over 20 years ago) that if I wanted to succeed big time ( or long term) I study to learn, not study to pass the test. After all, when all is said and passed, what gives you the edge is what you ‘know’ long after you have passed the test.
So I try to understand, while many of my colleagues try to memorize. Here is a great illustration I got from the Passionate Blog that perfectly corresponds to what I mean.

Again, this principle is biblical. Proverbs says “Get wisdom, get understanding..” The problem of today’s youngster is to focus too much on facts and too little on understanding. I can identify with this. Having lived in singapore for close to 6 yrs now. Somehow kids here are ‘exam smart’ but not street smart. Understanding gives a person edge over the many trappings of life. Need I say more.
