Here is the second lesson
Albert Einstein said a long time back "Imagination is more important than knowledge".
Was he right? Of course he is right!
The point to note is the word "more" in his statement. That means knowledge is important. But imagination is more important.
I will go a step ahead and say that "organized knowledge" is ESSENTIAL to excel in any skill.
Here I am talking about knowledge of memory techniques.
Question: Did your schoolteachers give you the knowledge of
"how to memorise"?
Answer:???????
?????????
Think about it. A majority of schools in the world do not teach any memory techniques or strategies for children. As a result of which, the student has to devise his own ways of memorising information and usually end up acquiring one
particular way of memorising information.
And that is REPETITION.
Right from the student stage to the adult stage, many people slog to learn information in the wrong ways.
OK, WHAT IS THE RIGHT WAY OF MEMORISING?
Simple. Pay Attention!
That's right. The easiest way to memorise information is to pay attention. This appears so simple, but it is alarming to note that many people don't even have a slightest clue of how to pay attention.
The 3 easiest ways to pay attention:
1.Visualise:
Try to convert the information you want to memorise into pictures. This very process forces attention. Also, the time taken to memorise will be reduced drastically.
2.Association:
This is so important that I have created another section for it and will explain about the power of association in my next email.
3.Fun:
Try to search ways and means with the help of which you can have fun while memorising. I know this sounds difficult. Most people associate learning and memorising with stress. The more you do this, the more stress you will continue to
have while memorising. Think different. Try to have fun.
But as I have told you earlier, just the knowledge about this doesn't help much. You need to take action. From now on, answer the following 3 magic questions whenever you want to memorise any information.
3 MAGIC QUESTIONS
1.How can I Visualise this information?
2.How can I associate this information with something I
already know?
3.How can I have fun while memorising?
What if you could not answer some of the above questions? It still works! By just TRYING to answer the above 3 questions, you are thinking about the information in a way you never did before. You literally force all of your attention on the
information. This is so simple and effective.
Try it today and you are bound to get the results.
Wishing you a great memory!
