Learning software is one of IT students’ daily activities. One of them is Photoshop, software that’s specialized to edit and manipulate picture. Learning Photoshop is very unique. It’s quite difficult for beginner because there are so many tools. But with just making some projects like create poster, beginner surely can memorize tools that are often used.

Then, can we be considered as “Photoshop expert” with just knowing tools that are often used? Of course not, uh? There are still many masterpieces that are much better rather than us, that just make some projects, though maybe we and the others know the same Photoshop tools.

Not just Photoshop, the other softwares are same too, for example Flash, Movie Maker, and so on. Language programming is also same. We can memorize syntaxes within just several days, but just knowing syntaxes can’t assure that we can make antivirus or games.

The other fields are same too. More things that we learn make us realize that there are still many things that we don’t know. For example, learning languages. Maybe we know well about grammar, but when we speak with natives, we don’t know, what the hell the native speak? Does the native speak about slang languages, or words that we still don’t know? And so do about learning music, sports and the other fields and talents.

Learners often feel satisfied too early. With just knowing some Photoshop tools, we consider that we don’t necessary anymore to continue learning. Then our learning process is stopped. With the mindset like that, we will never go to the next level.

Photoshop tools, language programming syntaxes, basketball basic training, and singing basic technique actually just need about 5% of our learning process. The rest is about our creativity, effort, and brain.

So, the key is well decision about talent or field that we will learn as our specialty. Then do our best about our choice. Never stop learning.
