Learning Process | Way Of Learning

So, why did we calculate it like this?

We performed the calculation the way we learned it. That means we will use the patterns we have been conditioned to use. At this stage, as in the previous example with the calculation, we used the information we already had. This art of thinking, called "Outside the box," is an essential part of the "hacker mindset", or the way we must think as penetration testers to solve complex problems. Thinking outside the box means seeing things outside of the limitations placed on us. This means we have to be able to "pivot." We have to focus on so many different technologies during our penetration tests that it can become confusing and frustrating when we do not understand some things.

A problem is an emotional state. Without emotions, it is just a situation.

In other words, frustration and confusion come with the point of view we are looking at. The learning process is not just a theoretical and practical part. It is also our learning process and progress that largely depends on our emotional state. If we feel good and we know we will reach our goal, we will be successful.

Another essential part that makes you successful is that you know your goal. Imagine the following scenario:

Now let us change the scenario a little bit.

The big difference between these two scenarios is that we know our goal and know how we have to move on. We will overcome the obstacles which are put in our way. If we do not have a goal, we will stop at the first obstacle. Without a goal, we will be disoriented moving from one topic to another.
