Improve Your Memory
If people ask about how good your memory, the answer often time just base on the remembering; the name of the new neighbor down the hall, where you put your car keys, your niece’s birthday, or perhaps the Pythagorean theorem from geometry class decades ago. But according to the “grand masters” of memory, the key to championship memorizing has little to do with any of that.
In the United States each year a select group of mental athletes competes to win the USA memory championship held in New York City. The contest includes events like memorizing an entire deck of shuffled cards in less than two minutes, or memorizing 99 faces and names in 15 minutes.
Other method is to use elaborate mnemonic device. Champion memorizers can almost instantaneously associate abstract, hard to remembers symbols like numbers or playing cards with more memorable images, actions or places; these images can then be strung together like mental sentences, allowing people to remember vast quantities of data.
To increasing our memory can be practice, it’s a skill like any other, you talk to an olympic swimmer or something like that and they might be intense in the water, but outside of the water they may be the slowest, chill, laid back. A lot of people expect to have this awesome memory, which is not necessarily the case.
