The equation of success in "the strongest self -academic"._ In the extreme poverty, he passed the University of Tokyo & Harvard by himself! /Katsuhiro Motoyama, a learning innovator

I heard the story by Katsuhiro Motoyama, a child support team leader who claims to be "Learning Innovator".Mr. Motoyama is a "self -taught specialist" who passed the University of Tokyo and passed the University of Tokyo while working part -time in high school, and then passed Harvard University.

■ The biggest point of self -taught success is "prior strategy"

As a result, I decided to enter the University of Tokyo and Harvard Graduate School, but I had to simply study myself.Immediately before I entered junior high school, my mother died, and when I became a high school student, my father disappeared from home.My father was a worthwhile charity business, and went to a developing country for volunteers.

What I left at home was me and my sister.Almost every day from high school to two years, I started working part -time at a udon shop after school.

Meanwhile, I decided to take the University of Tokyo for the spring break just before I became a third grade.The trigger was to read the manga "Oi! Ryoma" and Ryotaro Shiba's era novel "Ryoma Gokuku".Like Ryoma Sakamoto, the passion of "I want to do something like a Japanese country!"

And the answer I thought about what to do to do is going to the University of Tokyo."You should go to a university that produces a lot of leaders and leaders in society."

It is a very late determination than most of the most aspirations of the University of Tokyo.Of course, you have to study hard.In order to secure study time, I stopped working part -time and rely only on the lending scholarship of about 14,000 yen a month.Sometimes I could not pay for it and stop electricity (laughs).Of course, there is no financial margin to attend a cram school or preparatory school.In this way, I decided to aim for the University of Tokyo on my own.

Of course, the money that can be used for reference books and questions is limited, so we needed to thoroughly consider what to do to pass the University of Tokyo, which reference books and questions to buy.The first thing I picked up was a book that gathered the experiences of those who passed the University of Tokyo.I studied a successful case and decided to decide what to do, a reference book and a collection of questions to buy.

The book stated at what timing and what subject's collection of questions spent how long the University of Tokyo passed.Of course.

Just like me, I was from a local public school, and I decided to set up a common pattern from the experiences of people who did not attend a preparatory school, and worked on a strategy to pass the University of Tokyo.

■ Self -taught equation equation "result = strategy x time x efficiency x ground"

As you can see in this, the biggest point to succeed in self -taught is to "make a firm strategy and execute."I think the equation that succeeds in self -taught is "strategy x time x efficiency x ground".By multiplying these four elements, the results of study are determined.

Results of study = strategy x time x efficiency x ground

Of course, you have to spend some time studying to achieve results.But it's not just about studying.The position given to the person is finite, so you need to increase your studying efficiency as much as possible.It is also important to improve the ground to achieve results in a shorter time.

And out of the four elements, the "strategy" is greatly involved to enhance the other three elements.You also need a strategy to secure your study time, to enhance your studying efficiency and the ground.Strategy is the biggest point to succeed in self -taught.

In my case, I worked on a strategy from the experiences of each successful applicant, both when I took the University of Tokyo and aimed at Harvard Graduate School.Depending on the content of the study you do, the same thing is what you can do in most study.

If you are studying English and have a goal of "TOEIC more than 900 points", the experience report of those who achieved that goal first is overflowing on the net.Now that the Internet has penetrated, it will not be difficult to study a successful case.

The advantage of studying the successful cases of the predecessors is that it is not only possible to make a solid strategy.Through the research of successful cases, it can also imagine the path to achieving the goal and increase motivation.

The experiences of the successful applicants also wrote the hardships and failures of experiencing the goals.No matter how close you are to strategy, there is no way to study perfectly according to your strategy.However, if you read the experience of the predecessor, even if you fall into the slump or change the strategy for that, "there is something like this" "But if you do your best, you can always achieve your goals!"And you can continue your efforts.

■ Starting from 10 minutes a day, gradually becoming a habit of studying

Then, I will explain the remaining three elements that affect the results of study, "time," "efficiency," and "ground".

First, about time.As I was aiming for the University of Tokyo while being self -help, securing study time would be a major issue for working adults who work while working.The big point to secure study time in a limited time is "habitualization".

It is a human creature that can be established as a habit without working hard or thinking.No one is thinking about getting up in the morning and washing his face as "Okay, let's do our best and wash your face!"

That's right for work.Working for more than 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, is not a difficult thing if you think again? But it is common for members of society.That is the power of habit.

We recommend that you learn about weekdays and holidays to study habits.Because the rhythm of life is different on weekdays and holidays, and the time you can study is different.

Now I get up at 5:00 in the morning every day, about 2 hours after getting up on weekdays during the input and output time.Similarly, it's a good idea to take advantage of weekday morning time.Or you can use the time during commuting.If you have become a telework due to Corona, you can use the whole commuting time so far, so you may be able to incorporate your study habits in your life with plenty of time.

Also, on holidays where you can spend time free from weekdays, set a large study time in advance.When I was aiming for the University of Tokyo, I was studying for about 12 hours on holidays.If you really want to study, you don't have to use holidays.

However, it is not recommended to try to establish such long -time study habits from the beginning.Although the benefits of habitualization are great, it is not so easy to become a habit.The point to make sure that it is a habit is to "gradually get used to it little by little."

If you haven't studied at all, you can start with a 10 -minute study a day.That's a big advantage compared to zero.Once you get used to it, you can increase it to 30 minutes or 1 hour.

■ The basics of studying are still "reading and writing a lotle".

Next, I will explain "efficiency".For working adults while working, it is necessary to increase study efficiency in a limited time, just as securing study time.Now, the way to do that is obvious.It's all about "leaving the net".

Now, the biggest enemy is the largest enemy that reduces your concentration on what you need to do, such as studying and working.Notifications from SNS and other apps will arrive one after another on smartphones.Each time, if you react, you will not be able to concentrate on your study, and the efficiency will be reduced.When studying, make your smartphone in silent mode and leave yourself away from yourself.You may turn off the power.

In addition, concentration is limited, so it is also a point to be aware of determining the units and upper limit of studying time.Even if you forcibly study with your concentration is expired, the efficiency will only decrease.In conjunction with the habit of explaining earlier, let's explore the time that your concentration continues while gradually increasing your study time.

From my point of view, is it really one hour to concentrate?Take a break once an hour, refresh, and regain your concentration.Furthermore, if you decide the time to take a break and how to spend, you will not be able to take a break forever.

Finally, about the "ground".There are some aspects of being born, but there is no doubt that improving your own ground a little better than at this time, rather than someone at this time, will lead to the results of your study.

In order to do so, it is important to use your head firmly.If you do not use your head like muscles, it will decline, and the more you use it, the more you will be trained.As a way to do that, I see that "reading and writing abnormal" is the optimal.As you may have said, these are the basis of studying.

The reading comprehension needed to understand the contents of reference books, etc. is the basis of the basics.It may be sober, but keep reading it steadily.At that time, be aware of the output, such as writing the impressions of the book you read on SNS.You can't output unless you understand the contents of the book and organize it in your head.By assuming the output, the absorption power increases and the quality of the input increases.

For "abacus", which is the last of "reading and writing dull" that polishes the ground, you can play with an app such as games using numbers.However, the most recommended thing from me is to analyze what I like, such as sports, to analyze my own numbers.

For example, we analyze the numbers of various grades in sports such as baseball, and consider their own strategies, such as the appointment method of the players, as they are directors.That kind of thing is much more ability to handle numbers than just calculating.
