"What makes music music is the pauses between the notes" -Unknown

I often emphasize the need to pause after doing anything worthwhile.  If one continues moving from one thing to another there is a lack of learning that occurs.  By adding the pause between the notes one gets to appreciate the notes themselves.

Without that pause our lives become noise.  In school this becomes lack of clarity as a student moves from one subject to another without absorbing the pieces completely.  Often times students graduate and they feel like they still do not know enough.

I can explain it.  If for example a student takes two courses that follow one another.  In the first course the student receives a B(80%) and in the second one they receive 80%.  The student feels good BUT in reality the true level of knowledge for both courses combined is 80% of 80% which is 64%.  So student got the grade they wanted, BUT in reality they only learned a D level amount.

No wonder after all the courses they feel ill repaired.  They never took the pause to make the connections stronger.  Even if an instructor does their best the student will only master a portion of the material.  So the student must take a pause and work on the subject until they become close to 100%.

Today's question is:
What connections do you need to make stronger?
