where your attention goes, your energy flows.
Where you attetin goes, engery flows.
Every time you use an excuse, it makes you weaker and stops you from paying attention to the information that could make a difference for you.
No excuses.
The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it—as long as you believe 100 percent.
You can if you think you can.
A belief is a sense of being certain; what you believe, you become.
You ca if you think you can.
You have to listen, create meaning from what you have just heard, and then search your memory for a response.

4. There Is No Failure, Only Feedback Catch your memory doing things right. One of the best ways to strengthen this belief is to ask yourself, “How does my memory serve me—how did it serve me today?” Generally, people only focus on where their memory went wrong; this makes it weaker. Focus on your strengths and change your approach when the feedback or result is not what you want. 5. I Don’t Know It All Thinking you know everything there is to know about something will only hold you back, because it prevents you from learning anything new. Listen and become interested in other points of view

Be humble. You can learn more.
Training your concentration isn’t that hard. You just have to learn to become more peaceful and find the moment. You have to learn to be here, now. When you are at work, be at work. When you are at home, be at home. “Learn to be silent. Let your quiet mind listen and absorb,” said Pythagoras.
Concentration methods.
When your mind is at peace, you can enjoy the moment and your mind becomes like a laser beam. Peace and concentration are the same thing.
Concentration is fcous and peace.
We destroy both peace and concentration by multitasking.
Fcous on one thing only.
Sharpen your intellect by making it a habit to do one thing at a time.
Exceptional work is always associated with periods of deep concentration.
Focus on getting information that you can use—and then put it into practice. As David Allen said, “If you’re not sure why you’re doing something, you can never do enough of it.”
When you are interested in a subject and your concentration is at a peak, you can remember mountains of information. It almost feels automatic. Attention deficits are mostly interest deficits. Your mind never wanders; it moves toward more interesting things.
The first step is to find your interests and then find links or connections between your interests and the new information.
Learn to practice peace, because if you have no attention you have no retention.
Make peace in your mind.
When you concentrate your power, you can achieve anything.
Concentration makes possible.
This happens because you never brought the information to life.
Why You dont understnd the book when you have finished the whole book.
Think about it: What happens when you read a novel or a story? You make a kind of movie in your mind, don’t you? You can remember all the names of the characters, places, and events because you can see them—you create pictures while reading, using your imagination and natural creative ability.
Photographic memory.
they try to make a mental photograph or recording of the page but leave their creative abilities out of the process.
When you see information as an image in your mind, however, you can jump in and out of it; this improves your understanding, too.
Make information as an image.
Your mind is like an internal movie screen on which you can produce information. This is how we think and learn effectively.
How memory better.
If your brain wasn’t able to make images out of symbols, learning and reading would be worthless and incredibly boring. Your brain likes pictures and is really good at remembering them.
Make memory as an image.
As neuroscientist John Medina said, “Hear a piece of information and three days later you’ll remember 10% of it. Add a picture and you’ll remember 65%.”
photographic memory lasts longer.
The process of imagination is a fun and creative process. The more enjoyment you can put into it, the better.
Imagination is the process of enforce memories.
you imagine each concept for a few seconds, it will stick in your memory and be easy to recall if you need it.
The greatest secret to having a powerful memory is bringing information to life with your endless imagination.
The secret of the unlimited memory.
You have just learned to bring information to life by turning it into pictures or mind movies. Now you will learn to create organized “files” for those pictures in your long-term memory. Organizing new information is key to retention and retrieval.
Turn info into pictures and put into long-memory.
With each memory system, you will use something that is already in your memory. In fact, you are simply using all of the otherwise unused space in your long-term memory.
Use already known memory to organize new info.
The car list works because your whole car is in your long-term memory (LTM). LTM offers you a place to store the new information; that is, the locations in the car become “storage compartments” for short-term memories (STMs). All the memory methods in this book work with this formula: LTM + STM = MTM All of the methods also organize information and make it easier to find. Which is easier to remember, “super memory” or “yomerm puers”? Same letters, but very different meanings. The second is, of course, harder to memorize. The more order you put into a subject, the easier it is to remember.
Formulas of unlimited memory.
The secret to accelerated learning is superior organization.
Learning fast method.
By using the multiple cars you already have in your memory—your current car, the last car you had, your dream car, an SUV, a minivan, a convertible, etc.—you can create innumerable memory “files” in your long-term memory, each of which can store massive amounts of new information with ease.
How to learn massiv info is puting files into your mind.
When visualizing something to memorize it, always use as few pictures as possible to remember as much as possible. The simpler and clearer the picture is, the less overwhelmed you will feel.
Memory info with fewer pictures.
Most of us have been taught to think that we are either intelligent or we are not. But the definitions of intelligence we learned at school were built around the specific types of intelligence that are most valued at school—verbal intelligence and numerical intelligence. ~Paul McKenna
School intelligent
Just make sure you connect the body part and the information in a humorous way (remember the SEE principles), and that you remember the order.
The efficient way to remember info.
Have you ever had an experience in which you smell something and your memory instantly takes you back to another time? The smell is a link to the experience. Or has hearing a song released a whole stream of memories in your mind? We can take conscious control of this principle to create another system for our memory skills toolbox. This is the first system that I ever learned, and it introduced me to my memory potential. It worked so well that it seemed like a trick and ever since that day I have been amazed by the power of my memory. It is called the “peg method” of memory.
Smell memory method.
Each of these pegs can become compartments to store new information. You link the peg (using the SEE principle) to the words that you want to remember.
See principle .
Think about them daily, because personal development only happens when you can remember what you need to act on.
Do it daily.
Imagine a cat in a tree, but don’t make it logical. Imagine perhaps that the branches look like cats, cats are hanging off the branches, or cats are growing out of the tree. Curiosity killed the
Imagine determined bees trying to break open a beehive. The bees are a “determined nation.” Determination is five.
Tony Robbins says, “You are the source of all your emotions; you are the one who creates them. Plant these emotions daily, and watch your whole life grow with vitality that you’ve never dreamed of before.”
I find this method to be the most effective of all the memory systems. Using it is as easy as remembering a journey. It may seem too simple to be effective, but it works because it doesn’t overwhelm you.
Space method is the most effective memory method.
Most people will repeat the list of information over and over again and try to force it into their memory. Unfortunately, rote learning and constant repetition can create an aversion to learning and are frustrating. The more you can encode information into your memory, however, the more effective the learning will be.
Why you can't memory things well.
The more illogical the image, the better it will stick.
Seeing principle .
This is your first memory route or journey, and it should open your mind to the possibility of having a perfect memory. This method helps you see the big picture as well as zoom in on details. It brings concepts to life and makes them concrete. Since we remember what we think about, it is always easier to remember something that you experienced in your mind.
Make sure to choose places you know well, that have significance for you, and that have lots of variety.
Use place method that means significant to u
Remember to have fun!

This system will change the way that you learn forever. The only effort will be trying to improve your ability to make images and place them on a familiar mental journey. It’s like having crib notes or a teleprompter inside your head: The journey is like the paper and the images are like the ink. Your imagination can attach any information to a familiar journey.
