Reading requires a lot of energy and effort, and can be stressful, causing you to become easily tired. When you watch TV, you are using both your visual and auditory nervous systems, each of which has a different route to the brain. So, the brain will be stimulated more frequently, and you can receive and analyze the information more effectively. I personally recommend you that you watch videos over the internet and use voice recording software, and learn through online or recorded lectures as well as using books. You don’t even have to use your eyes to take in the words, so it is less stressful and you can keep studying for a long time.

Are you following what I am saying? If you are just reading this text you are probably getting tired and not really understanding the key messages. What I want you to do at first when reading this text is to read it over and imagine what I am saying rather than following each word or sentence on the page. Think back to your childhood or your time studying math. How did you try to study for exams? Did you skip learning basic concepts and go further without understanding the basics? Did you become at a loss, get tired and give up? Imagine how stressful it was just to read your homework because you could not finish it effectively.
So just think how much more effectively and less stressfully you could study if you were to study in the right order, using both your visual and auditory nervous systems, just like watching TV. Please try to visualize what I am saying and apply it to your daily life so that you can understand the content of this text, and indeed anything you wish to study, more easily.
The same idea applies when you want to make your ideas understood by others. You cannot convey your concept or the content of your imagination to others directly; you need some medium, usually language, to do so. In other words, when you are trying to understand someone else’s ideas, you have to get the concept or image by way of language. Now close your eyes and imagine.
