Are you nuts about memory?

The Memory
Mark Twain is reported to have said that "everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it." Similarly, everyone talks or brags about their bad memory, but few people ever do anything about it. Let's face it, there isn't much you can do about the weather, but there's a great deal that you can do about your bad memory.

The explosion of brain research during the last decade has confirmed what the memory theorists, gamesters, mnemonic technicians and magicians have always known: that the capacity of our brains and the ability to recall what is stored there are far and deliciously beyond normal expectations.

Today and in the future, it is mind power that will dominate. Wealth and jobs are no longer in the land of physical commodities. Knowledge is wealth. When you combine the astonishing rate of knowledge obsolence with the fact that knowledge is now the most valuable commercial commodity on Earth, you begin to understand that a good memory is essential for you to succeed in life.

If you are reading this blog expecting a theoretical harangue of technical terms, you are doomed to disappointment. I have tried to write and explain the systems outlined in this blog as if I were sitting in your living room and explaining it to you there.

Psychologists and educators have said that we use only a small percentage of our brain power—I think the systems outlined in this blog will enable you to use just a little more than average.

So, if like your operations, you have been bragging about your poor memory; I think that after you've visited this blog, you'll still brag about your memory, but to the other extreme. Now, you'll be able to boast of possessing a wonderfully retentive and accurate memory!
