How Passion Drives Learning

This video perfectly demonstrates how our mind works. When we're truly passionate about something, we don't need to force ourselves to memorize information—it just sticks effortlessly.

Take four-year-old Max, for example. He loves cars. I've never asked him to memorize car brands, but when I play Forza Horizon, he naturally asks about the names. And guess what? They stay in his mind without any effort!

The same principle applies to learning vocabulary. Some struggle to learn words by heart, while others, fueled by love for English, naturally enrich their vocabulary without even trying.

So, find your passion—it makes all the difference!

PS, Max can't read
