10 ways to improve your memory


Wouldn't it be nice to just look at a page and never forget what was on there? What if you could never again forget a friend's birthday? The bad news is, not everyone has a photographic memory, otherwise known as eidetic memory. Only a few actually have it, the rest rely on mnemonic devices.

The good news, however, is that everyone can take steps to improve their memory, and with time and practice most people can gain the ability to memorize seemingly impossible amounts of information.

Whether you want to win the World Memory Championships, ace your history test, or simply remember where you put your keys, this article can get you started.


STEPS

1. Convince yourself that you do have a good memory that will improve.

Too many people get stuck here and convince themselves that their memory is bad, that they are just not good with names, that numbers just slip out of their minds for some reason. Erase those thoughts and vow to improve your memory.

2. Exercise your brain.

Regularly "exercising" the brain keeps it growing and spurs the development of new nerve connections that can help improve memory. By developing new mental skills-especially complex ones such as learning a new language or learning to play a new musical instrument-and challenging your brain with puzzles and games you can keep your brain active and improve its physiological functioning.

3. Reduce stress.

Chronic stress will affect your health and your memory. The best option is to learn to control stress. Stress will never be eliminated, but it definitely can be controlled. Try to relax, regularly practice yoga or other stretching exercises.

4. Eat well and eat right.

There are a lot of herbal supplements on the market that claim to improve memory, but none have yet been shown to be effective in clinical tests (although small studies have shown some promising results for ginkgo biloba and phosphatidylserine). A healthy diet, however, contributes to a healthy brain, and foods containing antioxidants-broccoli, blueberries, spinach, and berries, for example-and Omega-3 fatty acids appear to promote healthy brain functioning.

5. Improve observation skills.

Often we forget things not because our memory is bad, but rather because our observational skills need work. One common situation where this occurs (and which almost everyone can relate to) is meeting new people. Often we don't really learn people's names at first because we aren't really concentrating on remembering them. You'll find that if you make a conscious effort to remember such things, you'll do much better.

6. Give yourself time.

Memories are very fragile in the short-term, and distractions can make you quickly forget something as simple as a phone number. The key to avoid losing memories before you can even form them is to be able to focus on the thing to be remembered for a while without thinking about other things, so when you're trying to remember something, avoid distractions and complicated tasks for a few minutes.

7. Create vivid, memorable images.

You remember information more easily if you can visualize it. If you want to associate a child with a book, try not to visualize the child reading the book - that's too simple and forgettable. Instead, come up with something more jarring, something that sticks, like the book chasing the child, or the child eating the book. It's your mind - make the images as shocking and emotional as possible to keep the associations strong.

8. Repeat things you need to learn.

The more times you hear, see, or think about something, the more surely you'll remember it, right? It's a no-brainer. When you want to remember something, be it your new coworker's name or your best friend's birthday, repeat it, either out loud or silently. Try writing it down; think about it. The key lies in "Spaced Repetition" learning.

9. Group things you need to remember.

Random lists of things (a shopping list, for example) can be especially difficult to remember. To make it easier, try categorizing the individual things from the list. If you can remember that, among other things, you wanted to buy four different kinds of vegetables, you'll find it easier to remember all four.

10. Organize your life.

Keep items that you frequently need, such as keys and eyeglasses, in the same place every time. Use an electronic organizer or daily planner to keep track of appointments, due dates for bills, and other tasks. Keep phone numbers and addresses in an address book or enter them into your computer or cell phone. Improved organization can help free up your powers of concentration so that you can remember less routine things.

Dekan...

In the name of Allah...

Kelihatan indah apabila melihat ke luar jendela, seekor burung nuri berterbangan bebas seiring rasa nalurinya. Begitu juga manusia yang dianugerahkan hati dan perasaan untuk saling mengenali saudaranya yang lain. Kepelbagaian dalam berfikir akan membuatkan kita lebih dekat pada sang Pencipta kerana Dialah yang menyatukan hati2 suci ini.

Jangan tersilap menghakimi diri seseorang kerana bukan semua manusia itu lahir dari satu benih yang sama. Setiap satunya pasti dilengkapi dengan seribu satu kisah yang ada kalanya tidak pernah terlintas dek akal fikiran.

Tidak perlu pergi jauh... mari kita melihat sekeliling. Toleh ke kanan dan ke kiri... pasti ada sahaja watak baru yang akan muncul. Kalau bukan teman serumah, mungkin makhluk lain seperti cicak atau semut yang akan menceriakan lagi plot penceritaan kita.

Bersesuaian dengan Majlis Anugerah Dekan & Taklimat Program Sarjana Muda siang tadi, mari kita sama-sama muhasabah diri akan segala khilaf yang pernah dilakukan. Mungkin pada semester lepas, terdapat sebahagian yang tidak memperoleh keputusan yang membanggakan.


Tetapi ingatlah bahawa bukan itu matlamat utama kehidupan ini. Jelas sekali firman Allah dalam kitabullah
وما خلقت الجن والاءنسان إلا ليعبدون

Kutiplah segala ilmu yang dititipkan buat kita baik akademik mahupun deeniah. Kerana Allah tidak menilai seseorang dengan banyaknya trofi atau sijil yang dimilikinya, tetapi usaha dan tawakal kita kepadaNYa...

Teman-teman...
Bukan kamu tidak pandai. Tapi mungkin agak kurang tekun dan rajinnya... Ingat! mardhatillah itu adalah yang utama. Sebagai motivasi sem ke2 dan kenang-kenangan buat yang tidak dapat hadir...

kawan2... jangan lupa ye janji kita naik pentas akhir sem 2 ni !

congratulations!!!

bakal2 sarjana muda..."kamu ni dah macam anak2 saya..."

"Pilihan ada 4, nak yang mana ye?"

Asyik sungguh mendengar tu.

apa yang penting? "diri kita sendiri...passion"

path to peace




lying is a hindrance to faith ,
LAZINESS, to progress,
animosity, to mindfulness,
HATRED, to deep concentration
and resentment, to wisdom.


moral discipline
provides the stability for us to develop
meditate concentration
which enables our
innate wisdom
to arise.


let go of expectations

having done so
whenever something good happens
we will be content,
if things do not work out
we will not be disappointed.

either way
we will remain calm and balanced.



problems do not come
from outside of us,
but from within ...




p/s : it's hard to find a little of joy in life ..but is it too hard to make a smile on people's face ?
