Super memory trick you can learn

Chapter 3: The Practical Value of a Good Memory

A person who is well-trained in memory must be a smart person and a person with extremely rich life experience.Because he has to process a lot of information with his brain, he remembers more and thinks more.

—Charles Leland
The practical value of a good memory is, in fact, rarely understood.Most people view a good memory as an enviable asset, but they view it as a luxury rather than a necessary quality.In fact, a good and sharp memory is one of the most important factors for success in life.A good memory is always a must, and it contributes greatly to professional success, at work, in relationships, and more so in professional explorations and literary careers.Memorizing information quickly and well can even help you enjoy life better.As long as your work requires you to communicate with your fellows, a good memory will make your speech more intelligent, and your various goals more easily achieved.A good memory will make you wiser and nobler in character, provided you are continually able to learn from the lessons of your past life.

A good memory will save you from a great deal of troublesome things which bore you like a tangle of tangles; it will also keep you from becoming a forgetful.The author has a friend. Not long ago, he had two parties. One was on a certain Sunday in city E; the other was on another Sunday in city G.On Saturday night, based on his own impression, he came to City G, but later he found out that he remembered wrongly, and he should go to prepare for the party in City E.After sitting down he telegraphed to his wife, who was a realistic and rational person.He said: "I'm in city G, but I should be in city E, what should I do?" As soon as his wife received the telegram, she replied him with four words very rationally and neatly: "Go to bed .”

Admittedly, the above is just the tip of the iceberg of upsetting experiences and the resulting disadvantages faced by people with poor memories.It would be of great help if we could make a statistic of such things, so as to understand the extent of the harm caused by them.First of all, it will disappoint his audience, which he and his well-meaning wife blame.The second consequence is the well-deserved shame of failure, which could have been avoided through positive memory training.The third consequence is economic losses, telegraph fees, travel expenses, and incidental expenses incurred temporarily.The fourth consequence is the loss of time, and you have to go back the same way the next day.Now, we make a summary - audience disappointment, shame, financial loss and loss of time.These were all directly traceable to a small lapse in memory, and a reliable memory was enough to save him from all these losses.

So a good memory is worth the effort to acquire, it can save our lives a lot of unnecessary disappointment.In our careers, we need to attend many parties, we have many responsibilities to perform, and many tasks to handle. To handle all these properly, it really requires a very sharp memory, so that we can handle them in a timely, fast and correct manner. these questions.If our memory can act as a faithful watchdog and respond to these events in a timely manner, then our lives are more likely to be successful and fulfilling.Conversely, if our memory is like a bank, when you need to withdraw money, it refuses to provide it immediately, but asks you to notify it 30 days in advance, so that our memory cannot be correct for what happened immediately. Given the right response in the right place at the right time, the results are bound to be disappointing.

Another reason teens especially need to develop a good memory is that it helps them avoid the stigma of failure that otherwise perpetuates children with poor memories.

Everyone wants to be admired by their friends, everyone wants to show social superiority, yet it can be embarrassing when you can’t even remember where someone invited you to a party; , but I can't remember the time of the party.Undoubtedly, the single factor of bad memory is capable of causing as much trouble as any other factor.For popular people, they can quickly remember the names, facial features, hobbies and taboos of people they meet, and they also know how to do different things and say different things to different people.For such a person with a good memory, the process of communication is so smooth and pleasant.Normally, when a person cannot recall the name or address of someone he has met, he will try to hide the embarrassment, and then he will use fancy language to get this information, however, for a person with good For people with poor memory, there is no need to bother.

One tries to recall the name of a friend whom one has met, but cannot.So he had to say to his friend, "I'm afraid I've forgotten your name." And his friend, a grumpy man, seemed insulted by this, growling and spelling out his own name. Name: "JONES".

There is no need to give other examples, for every reader can think of persons of a similar character, whether he has experienced it himself, or has heard of it from friends.

Another compelling reason to build a good memory in life is that it can help us avoid unnecessary financial losses.Many economic losses are caused by poor memory.A good memory is an additional investment that keeps paying us dividends.If a businessman has a bad memory and his business secrets are accidentally leaked, the annual losses will be considerable.Failure to keep appointments in time due to carelessness, ignoring specific clauses in the contract, and missing opportunities when opportunities arise, these negligence in memory bring a lot of losses to businessmen every year.How many people, due to memory loss and poor thinking, have made two trips for things that could have been done in one trip, and even wrote two letters, sent two telegrams, sent two parcels, and countless other times... …these things could have been done once, but had to be done again, which caused a lot of financial loss.

A good memory will save you a lot of time.A good memory not only saves you time, but also avoids a lot of the painful experience of racking your brain cells for information that should just come out of your mouth without thinking.A good memory also helps us to quickly, accurately and successfully carry out all activities in life, it allows us to avoid extra, unnecessary effort and helps us save our own energy.A good memory also saves us from unnecessary disappointment and annoyance, and it actually extends our lifespan to some extent.

A good memory is like an assistant with a high IQ. It helps you respond sensitively to the world based on rich knowledge.Bias once said: "Memory is the mother of wisdom. Without memory, what is wisdom? Without memory, wisdom is stillborn."

Todd wrote in his handbook for students: "The man with a good memory is able to firmly grasp and retain the information he reads (concise, discarding words, retaining ideas), and is able to identify Compared with others, they make trade-offs, and thus they are destined to become excellent people. Many people are afraid to enhance their memory, lest it will endanger their original motivation and ability to generate ideas, lest the brilliance of acquired knowledge will overshadow the knowledge itself. .For myself, the danger is not very strong, especially since I've noticed that people who are so terrified of using such powers are never to be envied for their originality."

Students in large, middle and primary schools have a deep understanding of the value of good memory, because, from the first grade of primary school to graduation from university, every progress they make is inseparable from the correctness and agility of memory.

It is regrettable that this need and thirst for memory of students has not attracted the attention of teachers.Teachers also did not adopt a rational and safe method to systematically train students to improve the persistence and effectiveness of their memories.It may seem strange that people who have a deep appreciation of the practical value of a good memory during university examinations fail to discover after graduation that life is actually full of examinations of all kinds.A good memory is as necessary for passing various life exams "with dignity" as for students to pass their final exams.

All will admit the great value of good judgment, and most will think that memory and judgment are to some extent antagonistic, and that therefore it is impossible for a man to have both good judgment and a good memory.However, some people said: "The accuracy of judgment is impossible to achieve without the support of a considerable level of memory." Wei Lan declared: "Errors in this area may come from two misunderstandings. On the one hand, one A well-trained memory is confounded with an uncategorized jumble of facts; on the other hand, in the use of memory itself." Dugald Stewart in his Philosophical Elements of the Human Mind "It is generally believed that geniuses seldom have strong memories. However, so far, as far as I have observed, I have not found any genius whose memory is inferior to that of ordinary people."

There is no doubt that persistence and quickness are the prerequisites for the memory to achieve clear and correct judgments.Outstanding figures of all ages, soldiers, artists, and writers, almost all have extraordinary memories.

Mr. Francis Bacon had an outstanding memory, and he could almost say that he could not forget when he read books.Peter Boehner said: "He just sent me or his pastor to visit a writer somewhere, Ben Johnson, Descartes, Leibniz, Pascal, Scarrig, Grotius, Euler , Niebuhr, Mackintosh, Dugald Stewart, Hamilton, and Dean Manzel, each of whom had an impressive power of thought and an outstanding memory. The same dazzling list, in other lives Any field can easily be enumerated, such as sports, academia, etc. Great speakers and writers, who are able to retain and reproduce even the occasional glimpse of the scene, benefit from this memory , far greater than their own creativity and accuracy of understanding."

In the higher works of genius, whether in poetry, art, or philosophy, memory has no peer in its part.Dr. Thomas Brown said: "The stronger the memory, the more beautiful and rich the sights will be for the poets, and the stronger and more fruitful the philosophers will be, as the source of poetic creativity and philosophical discovery. The richer the similarity revelation of the source. The richer the similarity revelation, the more diverse the form, and these must be transformed into more and more creative thinking." Professor Scott said: "If we examine those geniuses and The qualifications of those men known for their wisdom, we shall find, are the enduring and powerful memory which forms the cornerstone of their hall of honor."

From a practical point of view, among the knowledge and experience of the past retained in our memory, only the part that meets our needs is valuable to us.In practical life, a man who has great knowledge and a great deal of valuable experience is really a man with little knowledge and little experience, unless his memory is able to function promptly and effectively.Cazobon has quoted the motto of previous generations of scholars countless times in his writings: All that anyone can know is what he remembers.
