Idriz is passionate about teaching others how to improve their memories and believes that with the right practice, almost everyone can get a super-memory.
Let me summarize a 17 minute video in about 2 seconds: Make a fun story out of something you want to remember and you will make a strong connection.
Michael great
Michael but it took you about 6 seconds
Thanks!
Michael seriously lol... I was like Oooo..kaaaay...🥴
Thanks!
My ex must have done this. She remembers shit from 15 years ago.
LOL
Now that was funny. But not so much for your ex. And if she see's this...she'll remember this post.
Jame Gumb that was such an inspiring comment. I clapped with my butt cheeks.
Cool8474 remove you're ego buddy
***** Aww, I feel so sorry for you :( So was your dad cheating on your mom or the other way around?
Seeing his head, when I heard him say I will be able to remember a deck of cards with a glance, I beleived him.
💀😭
You're mocking him, aren't you? 🤔🤔🤔
@@DuduSP7 i still beleive him. Looks like the advance version of the transporter he must be serious i need to be practicing it more btw
His gor a big forehead 😆
@@allpraisetothemosthighyah yeah, definitely you're joking him...
The only thing I got was: "Make a fun story out of something you want to remember and you will make a strong connection.
"
Actually that is the key
yes
You must have read my comment from 2 years prior to yours 🙄🥴
@@Michael_00001 😂😂😂😂😂
16:42: "The next time you hear something that you wanna remember, make a fun story of it."
That's it, save you 17 minutes, for the sake of your time.
Phương Nguyễn wow is that all he has to say in 17 minutes😳
Thank You.
Wish I scrolled through comments first
Phương Nguyễn that's horrible advice for remembering programming 😂😂😭😭😭😭

I was gonna watch this months ago but I totally forgot..
+paulspydar jajaja
lmao me too!!
+paulspydar I got bored by the 10 minute mark.
Already been tested with memory during a rather intensive IQ test that took 4.5 days to do 2836 questions.
I exceeded the math/number sequencing 2 digits beyond the test criteria.
It only allowed for 18 digits but the tester made up an extra 2 totaling 20 just for his own curiosity.
He would state a number and I had to repeat it backwards.
I also have OCD and have been habitually doing this for 41 years - lol.
Not all mental issues are negative so I told off a group of 12 OCD sufferers in 2014 because they just wanted to get rid of it as if it`s all a bad thing.
Some is, but many of us have learned to harness it.

Hi TEDx Goteborg!
Thank you presenting for Idriz for this very special moment in mnemonic technique. This has been an inspiration to me for being a bit more proactive about reinforcing my ability to remember what I should.
My greatest benefit from this was the reminder, yet, in other words, for conscientiously creating "strong connections" for what I need to remember. It's a reminder to the effect that it's crucial to always be alert for that throughout the day and every moment I'm awake.
And, of course, please, allow me to say: TEDx does it, again!
"Its all about having fun and making strong connections." Idriz.
I've been trying out these tricks for about a year now while in college and it's really helped quite a bit. I never forget small things anymore now and I wonder if there's any connection. I know our brains work best when we're frequently recalling that information. So even just thinking about where you put your keys two times, separated by 10-15 second intervals, seems to help wonders. That applies with most everyday things. It's a great habit to get into.
what are the main tricks?
How to do math. ;f
I
hmm
can u explain more how u did it?
Who else has a test tomorrow?
Stephen Lester I have a test in 4 days. Btw, nice name man.
+Moe Lester
lol wen u mention "nice name" i thought y is that even matter and its just a name
and wen i saw ur last name lmao
im died😂😂😂😂
Daycore God I know, it's hilarious. I didn't know I would ever see another Lester on the internet.
who has a test tomorrow? lol XD
Finals start on Friday for me, it's actually insane how I found this
My professor taught this to us and even I was amazed. I thought mind palaces were Sherlock’s jam but apparently it’s my jam too

+Travis7060312 No. You are a USA citizens Part of the American Continent, don't insult the rest of the American countries comparing them with the USA ignorants.
I used to do this in school to remember important facts and thought i was insane lol. I never knew other people did it. Awesome to see its a widely used technique! It works so well. You come up with a bizzare imagined scenario for whatever you must remember and its hard NOT to remember.
This video gives interesting advice to develop memory and remember when people like me need memorizing vocabularies, slangs, idioms, phrasal verbs, and so on that are the base to be fluent in whatever languages. Thank s you for sharing.
The process of creating a story between the two items that have nothing in common is reminding us that we are creative. This example by Idriz is amazing!
the book is called Super Memory Power by Dominic O’Brian

thank you!
really? thanks
Thanks! Much more helpful than "hey it's Jason Statham!"
thank you ! :D
In 1975 I read_The Memory Book_ by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas. Understood what they were teaching, never drilled myself on doing what they suggested. Although, in a lame senior high school english class, where we were assigned a list of vocabulary words each day, I composed a story that used those words in order, and everybody in my little cliche got 100% on the test each day. The teacher suspected we were "cheating", but could not prove anything. To this day, I remember "coalesce with a cogent coaster-monger"...
Yeah... I learnt my memory skills from Harry Lorayne's peg/link system too and passed on the knowledge to my children when they were just 4 years old.
@@vincentyfsiew My child is also 4 years old, specifically how do you do it
@@gpdashixiong start with a few simple words they are familiar with like... sweets, pencil, bird, ruler, cap and teach them to link by creating a "story". Have they recite the story in the sequence and test them what is item #2,, #4 ... etc. Next, have them recite the items backwards. This should take a couple of tries. When they are good enough, expand the vocabulary to 10 items, then 15, 20...
@@vincentyfsiew Thank you very much for your reply, it gave me some inspiration.
Our brain is fascinating... it is capable of more things that we think... I wish they were teaching all these super memory, fast reading techniques at school a lot.

I am a physician, M.D. in Mississippi and would like to share my experience here. I've been in the United States for 25 years but I was born and raised in Bombay, India which I visit every couple of years. Now, India is a multilingual country and Bombay is the most cosmopolitan Indian city where several languages are spoken. Ever since I can remember, I was exposed to 6 languages including English (education though, was exclusively in English with French and the vernacular lingo being an optional subject, and that too starting only in the 5th grade). Besides English (&French) at school and with friends, by the age of 3 or 4 I could also speak Hindi (+read/write), Marathi (+read/write), Telugu and Gujarati fluently. And each of these languages in 2 or 3 different regional dialects. As for Chinese, we had a small ethnic Chinese minority in Bombay who spoke Mandarin Chinese at home (only speak, not read/write) and English and 2 or 3 local Indian languages. I've been away from India for 25 years and living in South Mississippi, hardly ever get to speak the Indian languages and YET, I have not lost my fluency in these. My American friends, co-workers and office staff are amazed at this ability of mine and say "Doc, you're a doctor, you're smart and that's why". If I was indeed so smart I would not have been struggling with Spanish considering that 20% of my patients are Latino and I still sometimes need my office translator to whom I pay $27000 a year!
Bottom line is that as a child, toddler, your brain's capacity to learn things is infinite but as an adult, it's very limited. In Medical School, by the time you've passed your Ist year and successive years, you've forgotten 70% of what you've learned during the previous year. Left me saying to myself, if I could learn and remember 6 languages by the time I was 4 or 5, why not my medical subjects??
Jackson, Mississippi.
Yes Sir, I hear your comments but I would like to point out a few things. I'm actually a pediatrician with almost 25 years of experience with seeing aged 0-18 years. Keeping aside my professional experience, and the fact that an average child has a vocabulary of 250 words including 3 word sentences. And that also, presuming a monolingual environment. That apart, what I have said here is from my own experience as a child and not as a doctor. At 3 or 4 years of age, I said I only could speak these languages at the basic level of skills expected of a 3 or 4 year old and not claimed to be able to compose literature in the languages. Only with age was I able to gain more and more fluency in all of these. And yes, I do watch stuff in some of these languages on TV or TH-cam from time to time even though I've not had a conversation with another person. Learning and forgetting are very complicated processes about which we know very little even today, there is no general rule of thumb. And no doubt, practicing is very important to retain proficiency, beyond basic fluency.
But what you are saying is that if you are marooned alone on an island (hypothetically) for 1 year or to give you, sir, the benefit of the doubt, for 3 years, you will forget your speech altogether, languages included. You wont even remember the names of your friends and family when you see them again in a couple of years because you have not been able to speak to a fellow human being during that time. Today, we live in the age of communication and globalization where we can call and talk to our families in faraway countries but not so, 60 or 70 years ago when students from different countries traveled west for higher studies for several years before they met anybody else that spoke their native language, but I don't think they all forgot their language(s).
But thanks for the opportunity to clarify anyways.
Sir, with all due respect, the subject here is the ability to learn and remember something, not whether one can forget something over a lifetime or not.
But again, one can forget anything, incidents, events and language. If one suffers a head injury like a severe concussion one can forget his own name and address. But no matter how severe the concussion, it's extremely rare to forget your language (or languages), that is, the power of speech altogether. Unless he has suffered an injury to the Broca's area (and ?? Wernicke's area) and these is complete or partial loss of speech itself. Coming back to the subject of language (or languages), I am sure that if you have NEVER spoken or even heard a language for many, many years, 20 or 30 years since your childhood, you likely will lose lose the ability to speak that language but when you hear it being spoken again, you will remember what the words mean, slowly and gradually but surely. Not everything, but increasingly with time and some practice.
***** Agreed, I don't think kids have better brains or something, just that they are more interested in learning and have less on their mind. I feel like adults can learn languages fine and actually quite fast
That is why I do not trust doctors...they just don't know anything and refer to books all the time......all they know is what medication to prescribe...and even that they have to look up in their book....over paid..very over paid.
I fully agree with you.
I really enjoyed this talk. It's clear that brain can be trained, you just have to try. This idea of trying to make stronger connections seems so powerful. Thanks for sharing!
god! i love tedx talk
thank you so much idriz
I already forgot the title of the video and I'm watching it on my phone as we speak, I had to touch the screen just to remember it.
Nice to hear a pro talking like this coz at Uni we are told exactly the same.... I passed all of my exams using this technique and its ace and I swear by it... I teach it to my kids and they are all in the top sets
believe it or not it is... i studied for two degrees at the same time. You just have to familiar yourself with things. For example, I studied for law and criminology, which means you have a lot of dates and statue and cases to remember. The one thing you can do is to write in your own words in short a very short summary of the case, then to remember the date and name of case you just think of who it may remind you of. eg, i can remember a case which i can remember as smith and doby, i familiarised this with Doby with Goby who is that alien type of thing in Harry Potter, so smith and the date automatically came up.
Make home made flash cards, either out of cardboard or just A4 paper, write the whole name and date of the case on one end, at the bottom write what it sounds like or who it reminds you off, and at the back a really short summary. Trust me it really works... only a little hard work in making the flash cards but it really helps.
My daughter failed her keyskill maths, so when she told me how bad she was at Maths I told her to make Flash cards. She had 3 wks to her GCSE Maths exams, and she passed with a C. To think she had previously failed in keyskills, and that as she was doing her A levels the teachers let her on coz she had a good study ethos, meant she had got the results she wanted.
It really is easy as pie once you get grips with it. Try it and let me know
wait so how do you memorise stuff
can u teach it to me!!!
Beiidyʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっBeidy Hun all you need to do is to familiarise yourself with things mentally, if you cant do it this way then make yourself some flash cards and test yourself
card like the ones you play with.
for example if you are studying for exams, and you have a certain topic to study, then pick out bits of the topic which you feel are the one you need to study on. put the word on one side of the card and the other side put something you think it sounds like.... it might be a story or a favourite cartoon or even a family member which drives you out of your mind... anything.. promise it will get so much easier.. try it and let me know
Naz Khan thats the thing i dont know what is the test gonna be about..
this has absolutely changed how I study. as a Senior I cannot emphasize how much this will help me, I got one of the books already and it tested me on a lot of stuff. i did poorly. then later after learning a strategy I did exceptionally well. Thanks so much.
*Recently, I try to improve my memory skills because I had realized its importance and dominance in our high-quality life*
I think that the main point is telling us that if you want to remember something new, you should make a fun,vivid and animated story of it. by doing this, it help you remember much longer.
Thank you TEDx Talks, for making a world a better one with your chosen speakers (I know, they do it willingly and they just need to have an idea).
I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time.
This is exactly what I do in school and I’ve always wonder if other people have done it. It makes studying extremely fun and you retain the material longer the stronger the story is. Emphasize on emotion (fun, sad, anger) as your brain will retain that information for a long time.
For me, what I’ve done is I create fictional characters and tie them to a story and relate it to a material.
For my personal example: I would link restriction enzyme (enzyme that cuts DNA) to a story such as one of my characters slicing a DNA with a sword. Now whenever someone mentions restriction enzyme I think of that.
These fictional characters are precious to me and I absolutely love them. They came from a variety of genre that I enjoy. Now link a material to a story where that precious character dies and see if that material doesn’t engrave on your mind. I sound like a weirdo but it works for me.
Me too. thats how I got through med school. Assigning visual qualities often help. It makes learning fun!!! :)
what a bunch of weirdos!
Vanco Mycin did you do that for anatomy? :)
To people like you I always say: CONGRATULATIONS! You have figured out how the brain works when it creates good and strong memories! By your self! In the Swedish national memory team we have a girl who has had "naturally good" memory as long as she can remember. She thought that everyone else was "strange" that could not remember things as good as she did. But when people started to call her "Weirdo" like ABHISHEK LIMBU (no offence) she kept quiet about it... Then something amazing happened... She found me on the internet and we started to talk memory, of course. I sent her my book, she read it and started crying when she realized that people trained them self to be as crazy as her! She is today one of the best memorizers in the world when it comes to names and faces (185 in 15 minutes!) and took several medals at the World Memory Championships 2014 as well as helping team Sweden to gold!
It would be interesting if guy's would test my app ( Zogaj Memo Gym ) and particularly Chain play, that is very hard for people that have no techniques. Only the girl above has made it to 30 with "no techniques" (I later found out that she is using techniques but not in a perfect way). After just telling her how the techniques could be perfected she did 60! Only memory athletes can do 60 as far as I know. But please prove me wrong! :)
This is also the reason why I write memory books for children and have made a game that requires memory techniques and is for children from 3-4 years old (like the app). Since I want ALL children to understand that getting a good and active memory is a choice you can make when you are little. Since most teachers in Schools do not train you on it. Hence why we can revolutionize the school system... Big dreams I know, but quite easy to conduct if we all just put a little effort to it. And you guy's are my proof... you got it on your own!
Again, congratulations and keep up the good work!
Idriz Zogaj let me try your app, FYI i don't have a memory technique or something, but my memory isn't tht bad, i can have a glance at around 30 digits for a short while and can memorize it, am i good enough??? :) i would really appreciate if you can help me further
You are right,dude.This really true.I'm useing my memory better now!Thanks...
Always did this when I learned Kanji (japanese letters), made pictures. Works sooo good.
True story!
This is why it is so hard to remember things for school.
The odd memories never change.The boring ones go away.
The funnier it gets, the harder to forget!
Fun makes it easy.
Boredom makes us busy.
When it comes to the brain
you need an inspirational rain
The harder we try
the easier it will fry
Just add some fun to it
and you'll get over it!
I just thought of it!!!
I will test this method today!

Paulo Lucio Oliveira Junior I always do the same, always ted talks too ;)
The Number 1 fear most common among people is the fear of public speaking. So all those haters out there should acknowledge that this TED speaker at least spoke up before about hundreds of people, probably impromptu even. That's impressive enough. Another point is that this guy may not even be conveying his ideas in his native tongue. Lay down on the negative comments a bit, please. Thank you and have a splendid day. ^^
thank you for such precious approach!
Thank you Michael for the quick summary.
I have not made associations and stories like this since I was a child. And it makes perfect sense. I am 23 now and a "grown up" and never before looked back on applying methods I used when I was younger,
So cheers to the genius and creativity of our childhood.

STATHAM OF MEMORY
I'm done! LMAO
DEAD!! XD
Statham is much more exciting! This guy's boring!
Well at least he is helpful
I learned a technique similar to this :
1. Choose a room you're familiar with, and convert what you want to remember into objects.
2. Put those objects into any place you want in this room respectively, like desk, chair, bed, shelf or somewhere else...
3.You can use another room if you want.
I found this method perform really great! I can still remember few things half a year ago !
I'm not boast at all ! Actually, my memory is always sucks...
I thought the stories were ridiculous until I remembered every detail of them. Like dude I don't even remember what I ate 4hrs ago. Or if I locked the door for the 5th time. Wow. This is incredible and thnk you very much.
of all the ted talk he might not be the smoothest explainer but for some reason, I get what he means I have seen other said the same thing about memory but this one struck my brain 'Let your brain have fun' this makes me realized something important and I know what to do.
I have tried it, and it works . you just need to believe
what book?
Wow first I thought he's boring but then I concentrated automatically. I really loved it . Thank u so much you really helped me.😍😍
Great insight Idris. The human mind is so powerful that there's nothing it can't achieve if Harnessed.
Thanks once again for that wonderful insight.
I love him... 😊 i know he will get better in presenting .. I believe
To save viewers time, he doesn't get around to actual technique until around 6:10 .

swat22camden lol
swat22camden indeed.that happen sometimes,and you need a trigger to remember the whole story again, like a song for example,you could sing it perfectly with its lyric but then there will be a time when its stuck,after some trigger like reading/hearing a random word that exist in the lyric you will or might remember it again
I wish I only had to remember snails and doors in college
Francesca me too!!
I think it's a better idea.... relating something @ something works for me well....I also wish you would be able to!!!
He is not saying remember snails and doors... turn the information infront of you to a story, let them relate to something... i still rememner that the snail opened the door for me and the birds was building walls with the bricks ..lol . .. he said it too, we put lot of info into our brains as students. The question we should ask is, how many of this info do we actually use in the real world. How many Algebra, calculus have we engage as individuals in our day to day living. Should we really be storing this info? Believe me, the only reason you wanna lear them is so you can pass your exams...may be the new model should be, to get us interact with these info, discuss them but doesnt have to cram them into our brains.. then we choose our core area of interest as we grow old. just think... Havent I spent last 20years of my life learning things I will never use... Doesnt that easily pass for junk? (if you see any error, forgive it...I simply didnt go back to edit...lol...)Dare George
Algebra and calculus are pre-requisites to statistics which are used (if you are any good) at these fields: Economics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, everything related to computers, Bookkeeping, making any kind of predictions about the future, Demography, Politic campaigns, Finances and trading, Engineering, idk... tons more. So I guess if you clean dishes at the local cafeteria you don't need that. Or if you are mediocre in your field. But anywhere except the arts, there is place for that information.
Thanks you soooo much. It really worked for me. I learnt 500 english words in a week. ⚡⚡
Very helpful session! We are very grateful!
I have a weak memory and I always forget. I have listened (not thoroughly) up to the examples you have given (the snail+door etc) and then paused and continued to browse the internet for over 20 minutes but returned to the video and I was able to recall (vividly) the examples he had given (in which order as well). This is incredibly exciting and I will read the recommended book and put in the necessary effort to master this. Thank you so much, this is amazing! :D

Thanks for the fun and informative video about memory. I have hundreds of memory palaces that I use for different purposes. I've used houses, apartments, and dorms I've lived in, schools, parks, neighborhoods, workplaces, and even movies and TV episodes as memory palaces. I used them to memorize Pi to about 5,600 places, and have used them in the Long-Term Memory events of the USA Memory Championship, which I've competed in 4 times, finishing as high as 3rd place in this year's competition.
Yes but how do you remember binary or songs in an indigenous language that I don’t know the meanings of all the words
This is so helpful
Now I remember how every rock in my field looks like!
Statham did not kill anynone in this scene....
i was thinking the same.
Are you certain...
oh , hello Idriz .. i'm supporting you dude , you are awesome :D
Idriz Zogaj Hi! This is great advice, I didn't know this was an actual methods, I always associate what am studying to silly stories in my Gross Anatomy class and I always get As in that class. I would definitely like to improve on this skill, any books that you would suggest?
Grace Owino moonwalking with einstein is a good book on memory palaces written by joshua foe
How could you made a story out of a deck of cards. That seems so difficult.
1210Nique haha yeah youve got the point :D

Assign a person, place, and thing to each of the 52 number-suit combinations.
It may also help to have a system to help memorize these 52.
Here is a system I use:
2's are n's because they have two down strokes
3's are m's because they have three down strokes
4's are r's
5's are L's or V's like the roman numerals
6's are g's cause a six is a rotated g
7's are K's cause two 7's put together and rotate make the letter K
8's are F's
9's are B's
10's aka 0's are z's because 0 starts with z
Jack's are anyone whose name has 'Jack' in it
Queen's are females that embody their suit
King's are those with 'King' in their title.
Ace's aka 1's are d's because they have one downstroke
And for the suits
spades are sportsmen
clubs are entertainers
hearts are religious/social figures
diamonds are personal development authors
So if I see a 2 of spades, I think of a sportsman with 'N' in his name, which for me is Nadal the tennis player. Rafael Nadal is known for his topSPIN shot on CLAY surfaces. Raphael Nadal is also a SPAINiard and a LEFTY. The words 'Nadal', 'Spin', 'Clay', 'Spain', 'Lefty' can all be used in the "story" I create for my deck whenever I see 2 of spades.
If I see a 10 of clubs, I think of an entertainer with 'Z' in his name, which for me is jay-Z the rapper/entrepreneur. My favorite jay-Z song is "Star is Born" so when I think of a 10 of clubs I think of Jay-Z giving BIRTH to STARS. Jay-Z also is part owner of the NEW JERSEY nets. The words 'Jay-Z', 'Born/Birth', 'Star/Stars', 'Jersey' can all be used when I see a 10 of clubs.
If I see a King of Hearts I think of martin luther KING whose famous speech is "I HAD a DREAM" once wrote a letter from BIRMINGHAM jail. Martin, King, Had/Have, Dream, Birmingham, etc.
If I see a Jack of Diamonds I think of JACK Canfield, author of "CHICKEN SOUP for the SOUL" books. Jack Canfield, the words can or field, chicken, soup, soul, etc
For each of the 52 number-suit combinations I have a person, adjective, thing, and place. I also have a word made by the combination of the first letter of the suit and number sound together. For example, 8 of Hearts put together can form H8 aka 'hate', 4 of Diamonds put together can form D4 aka 'door', 9 of spades put together S9 aka 'spine'
So if the first seven cards in the deck are
2 of spades
8 of hearts
10 of clubs
4 of diamonds
King of hearts
9 of spades
Jack of diamonds
I would memorize them as,
SPAIN HATES giving BIRTH to DOORS that DREAM of SPINE CHICKEN
or
NADAL HATES NEW JERSEYs DOORS. MLK's SPINE is weak as SOUP.
Ultimately you come up with your own system, and with practice, you get better and memorize lists in an increasingly efficient manner.
Ebiye Jeremy Udo-Udoma dang,thats cool
Wow your every where i go i take it you love to learn to that makes you even more beautiful to me i think i have found my dream girl
Jin Yow dafuck
Passion really shows in ted talks
I found this pretty inspiring. I am dyslexic and naturally have a poor working memory compared to the natural bell curve. The prospect of applying techniques to move up that curve, transcend the curve even (maybe!), is a very tempting one. I heard on another TED talk a 15-20% 'short term memory improvement' in kids from a brain training game. I appreciate practise is everything in this, but this talk also implies that a much bigger improvement is possible applying techniques like the memorising a emotive story. Is there a good memory techniques book anyone would recommend? I am struggling to find any specific working memory book in fact. Something that might help with binary digits, cards etc.
Nämen tjenare! Va sjukt, dig känner jag igen från Chalmersinnovation och så hamnar ja hör på denna TH-cam video!
BananaGaming BANANA GAMING, HEYYYY
BananaGaming ayyyy :) Glad ur watching these videos man.
+BananaGaming Är du svensk? xD hahah
+BananaGaming I..I can't talk your language bro -_-
Meeti HD He just said he recognized him from Chalmersinnovation, then he found this video of him.
From ChatGPT:
In his TEDx talk "How to become a memory master," Idriz Zogaj shares some tips and techniques for improving memory:
Use the power of visualization: Our brains remember images more easily than words or numbers. By associating images with the things we want to remember, we can recall them more easily.
Use the method of loci: This technique involves associating the things we want to remember with specific locations in a familiar place, such as our home or a familiar street. By mentally walking through this place and recalling the associations we've made, we can remember the things we've memorized.
Chunking: Breaking down information into smaller, more manageable chunks can make it easier to remember. For example, we might remember a phone number more easily if we break it down into groups of three or four digits.
Repetition: The more we repeat something, the more likely we are to remember it. Zogaj suggests using a technique called spaced repetition, where we revisit information at increasingly longer intervals to reinforce our memory of it.
By practicing these techniques regularly, Zogaj argues, anyone can become a memory master and improve their ability to remember information.
It's fascinating,you are a dynamic mind.
This indeed is a great way of remembering things, simply amazing!
Hello Maureen how are you doing today?......He's right you know. Paying attention and patience will serve you well. My brain, for instance, prefers to memorize things in an organized and systematic way...hope you enjoyed the video?
just because he may not be such a good speaker doesn't make his opinion wrong.
If you are able to read (listen) between the lines there is a treasure of information really...
Its pointless talking to the vast majority of people on the net. They just troll at everything. People take things all too lightly and make fun of people by appearance and social awkwardness. But yes this video does inspire me. Believe that your brain can do it.
Thank you very much. For your advice.
You have to be creative and think gigantically.the more inpossible the more you remember..today it's not hard for me to memorize cell numbers associating the number with the person who owns it..i only read the book once and listened to the tapes and i gave it to my friend because the author is really good in pointing out everything
Here are is another one for y'all.
How to remember the 5 Great Lakes between Canada and the USA.
What do you think of when you think of a Lake? That's right HOMES. Big Beautiful homes overlooking the lake.
H - Huron
O - Ontario
M - Michigan
E - Erie
S - Superior
When I was in the Military (USAF) I had a hard time remembering the 4 different types of Generals. Then a friend said think of like this.
Be - Brigadier (1 - Star)
My - Major (2 - Stars)
Little - Lieutenant (3 - Stars)
General (4 - stars)
Hope you have fun with these.
JC Hawkins The HOMES one is very good.
Beautiful idea
Jason Statham has a brother ! A pretty smart too ! Thanks !
I'm smiling like a little girl rIght now after seeing you reply to my comment :D thank you for the tips I fInd them very usefull now that I got some exams ahead!
LOL I was about to say the same thing.
I was thinking the exact same thing! The thumbnail of this Statham look alike-ish face is what brought me here :D.
Thank you so much Idriz😍😍🥰🥰💙
Okay I need to try something like this for my upcoming exams. Thank you for this!
Hey! You believe this?
Using this approach is how I got all the way to graduate school to research molecular biology and biochemistry. But, although it makes studying much more fun and effective, creatively linking everything we learn is painfully time consuming.
I hope it works for me!
Gabriel Suarez He didn't say you would master it over night. Like everything else you make sacrifices and in this case time would be your sacrifice.
Muslim kids memorize a whole Quran at age 7. It is 600 plus pages and they retain the information. Now that is a real memory!
First of all, I did not bring that up in regards to superiority or inferiority. I simply wrote that to elaborate on the profound power of memory. Second point; you have many grammatical mistakes you need to work on, and my third point is; The issue regarding bombs and explosives is that those youth are being told the elders ( whom themselves do not know the proper meaning of the Quran) tell them to do it and they will go to heaven. Thats not what ISLAM AND QURAN is all about. It is nothing then a mere message of Oneness of God, good behavior, proper conduct, self discipline and a message of peace. Those who do evil acts in the name of ISLAM are fools and fools belong in the lower depths of hell.
GIRAFFE! Dontgive ashit naseer ahmad The ignorance.... poor Naseer, not all Westerners are like this! We're not all bad! I promise!
I am a Westerner, I am an American, I am Muslim, I probably know the American culture more then you'll ever know. And I did not generalize, I know not all Westerners are like that, but you have to admit, the majority of people are pretty fu%$#@ ignorant, just like they are in the Middle East.
Im english so yea you will know more than me :p
GIRAFFE! Don't generalize... I'm an atheist but your small racist brain makes me wanna puke!
I had an appointment on one day this week at my memory clinic. It was in the morning just after noon at some time. If my recollection serves me correctly (and I think it does) it was somewhere here on earth!.
Bravo Shipe! Suksese!
Thank you Idriz for inspiring me. I have good memory power for certain events that happen in life and birthdays etc but I have to literally put effort to memorise something i have to recite back..so manybe if I find the book you mentioned and learn from it it would be great.
What is name of the book
