Memory is the corner stone of our existence. It determines the quality of our decisions and, therefore, our entire life!
There was once a fish that lived in a pond. One day, he met another fish that used to live in the sea. The pond fish asked, “What is the sea?” and the sea fish said, “It is a vast amount of water that is a million, million times bigger than your pond.” The pond fish never talked to the sea fish again because he thought the sea fish was a liar.
...what? How is this relevant?
There is a whole body of research that shows that multitasking is less productive, makes you less creative, and contributes to you making bad decisions.
Gilbert Chesterton said, “There are no uninteresting things, only uninterested people.” So get interested!
Tony Robbins says, “If you want to cure boredom, be curious. If you’re curious, nothing is a chore; it’s automatic – you want to study. Cultivate curiosity, and life becomes an unending study of joy.”
Worry is a very creative mental process. The questions you ask in your mind create your worries.
Your brain creates miracles everyday by converting lifeless information into pictures and ideas. When you become aware of this, every word becomes a picture drawn with letters because words are only symbols of three-dimensional images.
There is no scientific evidence to prove that learning should be serious. Make your images illogical. Have fun; create some positive exaggerated learning memories.
“Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.”
“The music of your life is far better played with all the fingers of your Multiple Intelligences performing their magic on the keyboard of your existence.” ~ Tony Buzan
“Remember that a person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.” ~ Dale Carnegie
0 is the S, Z or C sound: S sounds like the hissing of a wheel (which looks like 0): 1 represents the T or D sound: 2 is the N sound: 3 is the M sound: If I make the word TOMATOES, what will the number be? T: 1, O: no value, M: 3, A: no value, T: 1, O: no value, E: no value and S: 0. The number would be 1310. What word could you make for 321? 3: M, 2: N and 1: D or T. We have the letters MNT or MND. If we add the vowel ‘i’ we have the word Mint, or if we add a ‘d’ at the end and the vowel ‘e’ we have Mend. Or, try the vowel ‘a’ and add a ‘y’, then you can make the name Mandy. It is like

If you choose to believe in limits you will live a limited life.
In Spitzer’s experiment it was found that the average person who learns textbook material (without memory methods) remembers only the following: After 1 day: 54% After 7 days: 35% After 14 days: 21% After 21 days: 19% After 28 days: 18%
Once you have done this, you review at longer and longer intervals: review after 1 hour then 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, 28 days, 2 months, 3 months and then it should be in your memory forever.
We have learned that the only way that you improve is to get rid of anything that is preventing you from improving. So we got rid of the blocks to your mind like excuses, limiting beliefs and learning to single task, and then we became more willing to learn more. Then we learned how to improve through the SEE principle of imagination. We have learned the different memory methods – the link story method, memory art, the body and car method, the route or journey method, the peg systems, the number code, and remembering names. These methods are only limited by your own imagination and level of
