THREE KEYS TO A GOOD MEMORY

The three keys to memory are: concentration, desire, and attention. Concentration -- the degree to which you will remember is the degree to which you will concentrate. Desire -- you fail to remember because you fail to want to remember. Attention -- don't attend and you won't remember. Attention is the necessity of memory.

Pay attention to what you want to know. Forget all the things around you. Put the things going on around you on a level of low importance, and attend to what you are reading. Forget all the things around you for a second and concentrate. When you are studying in the library, don't look up at every person that walks by. When you are introduced to somebody, don't just say, yeah, nice to meet you. Some people, two seconds after they meet someone, don't remember the name of the person they were just introduced to. Two seconds later it's, "What was his name?" How many of you have ever done that? It's because the desire was not there. Because the desire was not there, neither was the attention nor concentration. How do you know that? Did you ever meet a good-looking girl or guy, someone you were really interested in? When you were later asked if you got his/her name, you remembered it. Amazing. Want to learn? Give the information your attention, and then concentrate on it, giving it you highest importance! The three commandments for remembering -- desire it, attend to it, and concentrate on it.
