Learning is a learned skill (yes, it's ironic). Kids who learned how to learn get called all sorts of lofty things by adults. I was called these things and at the time had no reason to really doubt that narrative. Then I learned more about learning, and more about culture and how that impacts how folks approach the world around them. If you approach the world with perpetual awe and wonder, relentless curiosity and fascination, the exploration is just a joy and you don't really care how "easy" or "hard" the journey is or think about it that way. Through joyfulness the learning comes because you love it and are intrinsically motivated.
I suppose it's more complicated than that, but it's tough to explain. I'm better at it than I was since working in higher education; that's given me a lot of humbling perspective on why I was different, and why so many students struggle. It's less about "smarts" than fortune, but that's not the story our culture tends to tell about it. Maybe it's naive of me to believe every student can find that child-like wonder and curiosity to find intrinsic motivation to learn anything they want to. I prefer that story to killing my own wonder with cynicism or ego, I guess.
I learned that it's best to sit back, & listen
during a lecture. Don't take notes, which
distract from paying attention.
Trick I learned....
Go to the professor's office after class,
& photocopy his notes. (It was always
"his" back in the day.) This was needed
when the course had no textbook.
Because of my good looks & winning
personality, it always worked.

I feel that I'm strong when it comes to the subject of computers, but weak when it comes to English & Grammar.
Even @Revoltingest could probably school me on grammar (he did it once already).
