You just can't remember anything that you do not observe to begin with.

Once you have made up your mind to achieve something,

act as if you have already achieved your goal.
the memory likes to be trusted
The memory is a treasurer to whom we must give funds, if we
are to draw the assistance we need.

Visual thinking is the foundation of understanding. If a

person does not have any images in his imagination when
reading a book, then he does not understand the text.
The problem is not with ones memory but with ones lack
of interest
Every image consists of parts
in order to remember anything, it must be associated in some way to something you already know or
remember.
If there is no image, the brain does not create connections.
All the worlds a stage..and all the men and women
merely players
The brain can only memorize connections
Distinctive feature
Connected images must touch each other, they must be of same size
All objects consists of parts
No support Images should be repeated
support images are information carriers, none should be repeated.
You must train yourself to repeat information just as meticulously as you train
yourself to memorize it.

take care of the thoughts;the words will take care of themselves!

if you remember the main thoughts of your speech,
the incidentals, the ifs, ands and buts, will fall into place.

After something is observed it must be associated to something we already know.

Be sure you hear the person's name in the first place.

three categories of names; those that actually have

a meaning; those that have no meaning in themselves, but
do suggest something to you, and finally, names that have
no meaning and do not suggest or create a picture in your
mind.

If you remember the main, the incidentals

will fall into place

If you had any trouble at all recalling any of the names,

the reason is that you didn't make your association vivid
enough; you didn't actually see the association in your
mind's eye.

writing phone numbers on paper, is the same as not knowing
the system at all.

it's not what you do that makes you a good enter-tainer, but the way that you do it.

What happens when we are out of our comfort zone?

We have a tendency to get back where we belong, dont

Your mind thinks in pictures and often

it cannot tell the difference between an actual picture
or a picture that exists in your mind only.

You

impressed with the results.

Option, in order to recall something, you
must turn an abstract into a picture.

If you didnt get it,its for only one of two reasons. Either number one,
you didnt know your file or number two, your picture
wasnt vivid enough.

A year from now you will have wished you started today.

To do something you
have never done before, you must learn things that you
have never learned before.

people can always find something to do over, but they

can rarely find time to do right the first time.

We all want the prize at the end of

the tunnel yet few men desire the things that lead to
the prize. To get the prize in your life, you must pay the
price.

Good habits are

difficult to acquire, but very easy to live with.
It is not what you eat,
but what you digest that makes you healthy. It is not
what you earn, but what you invest that makes you
wealthy. And it is not what you learn but what you
remember that makes you wise.

The problem with our brain, and with memory and with all the other cognitive skills,
is that
if we dont use it we lose it.

just imagining that you will need something can help you recall it later.

make sure they know the relevance of the material

being taught,

four laws of association:

1. The law of contiguity. Things or events that occur close to each other in space or
time tend
to get linked together in the mind. If you think of a cup, you may think of a saucer; if
you
hear a song, you may recall events that happened when that song was popular.
When you see
again the house that you were born and raised in, you are flooded with memories of
things
that happened at that time. When you see the ocean, it may remind you of a time
you almost
drowned there. And so on.
2. The law of frequency. The more often two things or events are linked, the more
powerful will
be that association. If you have a cinnamon bun with your coffee every day, and
have done
so for the last twenty years, the association will be strong indeed -- and you will
probably
automatically order a cinnamon bun or think of one every time you have a
coffee.
3. The law of similarity. If two things are similar, the thinking of one will tend to
trigger the
thought of the other. If you think of a married friend, for instance, it is hard not to
think of
the spouse. If you recollect a Mediterranean cruise you took many years ago, you
may find
yourself thinking about other cruises you took as well.
4. The law of contrast. On the other hand, seeing or recalling something may also
trigger the
recollection of something completely opposite. If you think of the tallest person you
know,
you may suddenly recall the shortest one as well. If you are thinking about an exam
you did
extremely well in, you may be reminded of one that you failed miserably.
