Slow Learners Puns

Hi guys Are there any other guys like this? How do you feel compared to other students?

So im recapping my digital and electrical machines work and NOW it finally clicks after all the time in lessons and labs..some students pick it up straight away but it took me quite some time.. makes me feel like im a low achiever compared to the other brightboxes in the class..angry sigh!

Once again today I found myself watching this subreddit go down the rabbit hole of who got more ex-Machina powerups; Sasuke or Naruto. Generally speaking, I ere on the side of Sasuke and defend Naruto both because I usually see more arguments in favor of Sasuke so I have to play devil's advocate, but also because Naruto is one of my favorite characters.

I want to make it clear that while Kurama gets Naruto out of almost certain death at key moments in the story, this fanbase uses those moments to ignore and overshadow the reality that Naruto is one of the smartest characters in the series when it comes to battle strategy and improvisation. I mean this to say that Naruto has a very limited skillset as far as Jutsu goes. He has shadow clones, transformation, summoning, and Rasengan. All other Jutsu he has are just those but used differently. This means that if any one of those doesn't work, naruto is at a massive disadvantage right off the bat.

Naruto is constantly SAID to be a dummy who is a slow learner but there is little evidence of that. And I'll prove it with evidence and inferences.

Before some of you start with that, I am also not comparing his intelligence to anyone else's. Any comparisons I make below are to illustrate similar situations, rather than equate intelligence. This is not a post to place him above, below, or on par with characters like Sasuke, Kakashi, Neji, Sakura, or Shikamaru who are widely accepted as highly intelligent in-universe by characters, by fans, or both. This isn't an invitation for you to say, "Oh well if X CHARACTER had Kurama chakra, HE would be SO much STRONGER than Naruto". This post is merely to illustrate the feats of intelligence Naruto has, explain why they are meaningful, and prove that Naruto's intelligence is underrated by the Naruto fanbase, and at least this subreddit. T

• ⁠Naruto was an orphan who was shunned by his entire community, much of his lack of learning up until Part 1 can be attributed to neglect, which other characters didn't have many being the children of Jonin or coming from strong families (Team 10, Team 8, Neji, Sasuke). Naruto had a strong family, but they died before they could give him any guidance whatsoever.

• ⁠It is repeatedly stated that being the vessel of Karuma meant that chakra control was more difficult for naruto because of how much chakra he had and the fact that they fought against each other within him.

• ⁠Naruto Uzumaki proved his intelligence in fights vs multiple oppon

TLDR at bottom.

I started working back in September 2021, and all things went rather smoothly. Exams went well, classes were interesting, people are nice, and I should finish my 6-month training with time to spare. That being said, I did get staffed to actual customers about a month ago, and I realized the learning curve is rather steep.

Oftentimes I would spend two hours looking up something to type four sentences. I'm at the point where I understand issues, and maybe I know where to look for the issues in the app or code or whatever, but as for presenting a concrete solution, I feel my mentor/advisor/TL are my backbone right now. And there are times where I'm not quite sure where to start gathering information and need a hint from my advisor. It's a blessing that everyone on my team and my analysts are so nice and understanding! But I honestly feel bad when I say "I'll follow up with you on that" ten times during a meeting and then spending hours looking up an issue, only to realize after talking to my mentor/advisor/TL that I missed one detail, that the solution was much simpler than I thought it would be, or that (yikes) I was looking at the wrong stuff the whole time.

Of course, they (and the rest of the TS on my team) assure me that I'm just starting customer work, this is normal, just take good notes and I'll be fine. I haven't gotten any complaints yet, at most I get advice on what I can improve on, but it's never outright criticism. But I just feel bad. Some of these people that I ask for help every other day have absolutely packed schedules. I listen to people talking about their own issues during lunch, and I just listen and nod without contributing anything very substantial.

I think what drives the guilt even more is like, it seems everything else is going well. Training went well. I was told that my notes are organized and my meetings are structured well. My TL, mentor, service coach, advisors, everyone I've ever worked with, are very nice and understanding, so I don't want to disappoint them or burden them. Outside of everything, my social life is decent too, and I have a group that I regularly eat lunch with.

Any advice on how I can deal with these feelings and anything that helped the learning curve be easier for you as a TS, I would greatly appreciate it.

Any new TS looking at my post (or people who want to offer advice), here are some things that I've done so far that has helped:

##1506 Tunisian Raiding

The men who had petitioned the caliph had decided to split the ships into three squads between them. The leaders of those three squads were Hamza Ali ibn Irwan (aka Hamza), Ahmed Ayad ibn Said (aka Ahmed), and Melik Omar Al-Hasan (AKA Melik). Hamza and Ahmed were both young charismatic men with little pirating experience, while Melik has an old and well respected pirate. Hamza has a squad comprising of 1 carrack, 3 galleys, and 13 xebecs. Ahmed has a similar squad of 1 carrack, 3 galleys, and 13 xebecs. Melik's squad consists of 1 carrack, 4 galleys, and 14 xebecs.

The pirates have received orders from their caliph sponsor to focus their efforts in the Ligurian sea and to target ships heading in and out of genoa, and avoid aragonese and savoyard merchants. but Pirates are pirates and merchant ships all look the same. They generally follow directions but don't go out of their way. [62]

##January - March

The pirate fleets show up in the ligurian sea for their first raiding season. The merchants are caught off guard by the sudden and dramatic increase in organized pirating.

Hamza's squad and Ahmed's squad squanders the surprise however. Their collective inexperience shows as they target ships that are leaving ports and generally have bad luck capturing merchant vessels that have little value. (26 and 25) Melik however, is a veteran pirate. he knows that ships that are laden with lots of loot sit lower in the water and can tell wealthy merchant ships from nonwealthy ships by the degree of upkeep afforded them. (104)

All three squads are able to avoid running into Italian Patrols. (118)

Hamza Loots 11,100 Florins

Ahmed Loots 11,100 Florins

Melik Loots 29,500 Florins

Total for Quarter 1: 51,700 Florins

##April - June

In the second quarter, merchants had grown wary of the pirating, and the italians had started sending out patrols to the ligurian sea. However, not as many as you would expect however, probably because the squadrons had underperformed. (41)

Hamza's squadron continue to underperform not quite getting the hang of things. (40) However, Ahmed is a faster learner. Bringing in a decent haul. (54) But Melik continues to prove that experience is what really matters. (95)

Not only does Hamza have trouble finding the right merchants to target, he also has a run in with an Italian patrol near the end of the season, (11) but manages to escape relatively unharmed. 2 xebecs and a galley from his squad have to stay

I've been fired 4 times for learning things too slow

They rather hire a normal employee that learns everything on the first day

And mc donalds doesn't have a college class I can study on to learn how to do the job

Does anyone else feel this way. I'm currently learning Javascript and honestly I could see it taking me 3-4 months to learn and im scared by the time I've learned Javascript other people have already learned multiple languages and done many things and landed many good jobs

Idk man, it really bums me down.

Just curious

I(18) was fired from a bakery retail job for learning the ropes too slowly after about a month on the job. I really want to improve myself and I tried my best there but fell short. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve how well you do at a job? It was my first job and now I feel a bit worthless for not being able to do it.

My brother is a slow learner and also wears hearing aids. He is currently a business owner and is not satisfied with the life he has.

He always had an interest in IT. We got him to meet with New Horizons Center and they recommended that he get the CompTia Cybersecurity certifications. My brother thinks it’ll be too much for him to grasp and would like something even more basic.

He doesn’t care about money too much so any entry level IT related career will be perfect. Any idea of what he can pursue with a low difficulty level?

Thank you!

I am a 2L now. I googled this question and found that the common wisdom is 3-month full time study. But I am an extreme slow learner. I studied the LSAT for approx. 2,600 hours (3 years; 7 retakes) and my highest score is below the median of T20 schools. I also wasn’t able to study for five courses at the same time in one given semester despite studying for more than 70 hours each week. I dropped one course in my 1L fall; I also didn’t study for one course at all in my 1L spring and ended with a B-. I believe I needed at least 10 months for the one-semester workload my school assigned to me.
I am thinking about starting preparing for the bar right now and devoting about 50 hrs each week during my 2L winter vacation and summer vacation to the bar. Will this be enough to pass the bar within one year after graduation? Thank you in advance.

When I was very young, around 9 years old, I remember my class teacher telling my mom that I am slow with learning and completing tasks. I didn't realise this back then, I just experienced it as hyper focusing and getting stuck on small details.

I was and still am a slow reader. My marks were mostly average for language, but my marks for art and music were high. I could get high marks for math (mostly geometry) but only if I practiced a lot (which I didn't give myself the time to do because I was making art and practicing my instrument or doing music theory homework). I took science but I struggled with the words.

When I went to university, my emotional problems got worse and got myself into bad relationships. I was studying music at the time but I decided to switch to fine arts the next year. The change damaged me emotionally, the departmental environment was completely different.

So I took a break for a year then went back. Eventually, during my last 2 years of studying, I started getting distinctions for everything. I still read slowly but I can understand the words a lot better,100 times better, than before. I can also be fast with tasks and execute them well.

Has anyone with autism grown up as a late bloomer with studying?

Title basically.

I recently commenced an MS program in biostatistics/bioinformatics. My math background tbh is a bit on the weaker side b/c I was a Biology major. I did Calc I-II via AP Calc BC and was exempted in college. I wanted to retake both of them before taking Calc III, but in order to save the money, I took Calc III directly (bad idea...got a C).

I really wanted to learn biostatistics and bioinformatics, so I got into this MS program. Golly f****ng gee, I'm blown away by how slow I am at picking things up.

I was initially taking the following: Linear Algebra, Applied Stats, Stat. Genetics, Theoretical Stats, and Stat Inference. I ended up having to drop Theoretical Stats bc of how difficult it was.

Everyone in my program understands everything faster than me. I'm often stuck on homework assignments for hours, and it never seems to "click."

Even other students who came in with a minimal math background are able to pick things up faster than me in all of my stats classes.

Are there any other slow learners on here? How did you cope?

Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

Things would take me a long time to grasp, especially if they required practical skills.I do not understand learning theories such as accounting that quickly, but I shrug it off because internet online courses exist. But when practical skills required me to engage in that activity, I flopped. (I cannot watch and learn.)

I just had my first lesson on driving a few days back and I stalled the car almost 20 times (not joking) before even starting the lesson. The instructor got very frustrated, even though I knew him for a long time (we're neighbours) and he was relatively a chill guy. He said I was impatient.

I am embarrassed and disappointed in myself because I was unable to catch the concepts that were being repeated that quickly and forced him to repeat them too many times, causing him to almost give up on me. I ask myself, why did it take me so long to even get a grasp of the basic stuff? I tried to tell myself that it's my learning pace, but the negative thoughts are stuck in my head. Because average people can do it better than me!

I think this may also have to do with my mentality of trying to not be seen as a bad or incompetent person. I still think of my previous mistakes even though they were from elementary school because they happened in public. I avoided trying something new or joining a competition on behalf of the schools and preferred to learn on my own. It resulted in me avoiding social interactions too.

I am aware that, with this mindset, I won't survive or succeed in this world once I step out of my parents' house for college. I don't see myself as someone who can handle any job well. Let it be a receptionist or even the cook in McDonalds.

Therefore, I'm here for advice from anyone. If you think you are also a slow-learner, how do you go day-by-day productively?

Sorry for the rant. I felt that if I received some advice or wrote it up here, I could let go of these thoughts.

Also, sorry if the topic was already discussed (or in discussion).

Thank you for reading and giving comments.

Edit: I just find out the terms "SCT" means Sluggish Cognitive Tempo. Honestly never heard of em. Thought I just had small chunk of ADD or sumthin I dunno I never got diagnosed. Anyway, thats all, thanks for these comment by the way.

For most of my life I have defined myself as a "slow learner," at least in private. Job interviews and such I obviously don't say that because I would never get hired. It just seems to take me forever to learn most things.

But I got to thinking lately, how does one even define a "slow learner" versus a "fast learner?" Or an "average learner"?

Hi. I’m graduating May 2022 and I’ve already started going over Klimek’s lectures and familiarizing myself about NCLEX. I have been doing 75 questions a week on Kaplan and plan to do this up until the last week of the nursing program. I’m currently averaging an overall 68% on Kaplan; I got 62% on a Saunders’s pretest assessment. I want to do 150/day post graduation through UWorld/Kaplan. Starting in November, I’m thinking about going right into focusing on content. My whole point to this post is asking if I’m starting NCLEX review too early?

Hey y'all,

I'm a slow learner and need extra time to process things especially when instructions are delivered quickly and I don't what certain things mean or are? What should I do to overcome this issue?

Yo yo yo. I'm looking for someone to casually chat to in french about anything and everything as long as it's light-hearted and you don't ask for nudes.

Will also impart my knowledge of English upon you too.

Ou; salut, salut, salut. Je veux parler avec une personne Francais s'il tu plais, merci.

Please be my friend, Becky x

Especially practical things, I find myself having to do something a whopping 5-6 times before I get it and memorize each step. I've enrolled in a music mixing & mastering course and I find myself just not getting it from the get go. I lag behind - it takes a while before I "get it".

Do you encounter the same problem with being a slow learner when depressed?

OK so i know this sounds sad but i have been trying to learn to draw for over 2 years now but i have made so little process it hurts I keep trying to study but so much of what i learn i forget after i go to wake up. i feel like I'm going around and around I can't stop not knowing how to make things look the way i want them to and i guess i feel so hopeless since i always hear anyone can learn to draw even idiots so i must be dumber then a idiot or something....

I am just a little amazed how fast I forget, how slow I learn.. The following are just unimportant semi-silly musings.

The other day upwBPD, living in other location, got impatient with me. And I saw the messages piling in at a rapid rate. And knowing this probably ment she was upset/angry/annoyed/impatient, i felt my fear setting in. Pulse instantly racing from 60 to 90++. I was almost asleep, now suddenly wide awake. Feeling the knot in my stomach. Trying to decide what was the least painful-- reading the messages now, risking losing my sleep over the likely content ---the accusations, the unfairness, the re-writing of history, the illogical arguments, the knowing it would be futile to clear up misunderstandings-- or waiting until the next day, risking losing my sleep over worrying what was in the messages? Trying to act my age and show som guts for Chrissake, I opened them.

Well, this batch wasn't that bad after all. And she seemed to be in a place of willingness to explore one's inner self-- she's recently purchased some coaching classes which are making a deep impression on her. Subject matters in those classes seemed to make for a good opportunity to tell her in a acceptably positive framework about how how I at times fear her. How a once-loving relationship at times now has made me afraid of saying the wrong thing, of recalling things she has told me wrongly, of not recalling things she has told me, of sending the messages at the wrong hour, of misunderstanding her, of being misunderstood, of me not being used to the aggressiveness in the tone sometimes...

So, end result, she told me today that she needed for us to cease communicating on a daily basis. (Which seems to be a good idea, actually. All things considered.) That she had expressly requested earlier this year that I limit the amount of contact with her, and that she hoped I would respect that wish.

Which didn't make much sense to me, since she is usually the one initiating contact. For months this year I did not contact her first once. Only replied when being spoken to. Which, for the most part, was every day or so. For the past month I had started escalating my initiatives somewhat, in order to re-achieve some bits of what was once a symmetrical, thriving, safe, loving and fun daily banter. To achieve something reminiscent of a mutually beneficial friendship. Over the course of some weeks sending 2-3 photos of nice views. Wishing her a good morning when her previous day was especial

Honestly, I think it depends on the teacher on how I would understand math, When I was in Grade 6,I was always on the top on math because my math teacher back then, love repeating the lesson, And on my first time discovering it, I failed alot, in answers and solutions(but she still didn't gave us a quiz just after the lesson,just written works and practice) . But when my g6 teacher started going back to that lesson, I started understanding it. In short, I think I am a slow learner, Since it's pandemic, The math teacher uses PPT which makes it harder for me to understand, And they don't go back to the lessons, Whether if it's your first time or not, If your first solution fails, Then I failed the whole module/quarter quiz too. (Srry for bad english) I need advices for better understanding, When we're in a online class, I always feel like I do understand it, But when it comes to quiz, I always get low scores.

I know that the first time he showed this unreleased at the 2017 Day n Night festival and I believe flog gnaw 2018 but both times he showed this it fit right into Quest/Power. I saw someone in the comments of one of the videos suggest it may have been a 3 part series and I was curious do you think this is the case or it was just put there at the performances or think it was originally a 3 part series
