HOW TO MEMORISE



HOW TO MEMORISE

 Is it necessary or sufficient to simply understand a principle without having to memorize it. 

Does the memorization of a content necessarily require understanding? What are the techniques and tricks that facilitate and allow to memorize without psychological suffering?

These are the questions that this subject wants to answer:

Without denigrating the role of physical factors without which there would be a dysfunction totally, if not at least partially, preventing any attempt at memorization, the focus is on the more significant and more constraining psychological factors.

First of all, we must look for the reason for any memorization, then, it will be necessary to link it to a strong emotion which strongly permeates us such as the will to succeed, it will also be necessary to link it to the feeling of the general need to emancipate oneself, to distinguish oneself. It will also have to be linked to its final objective in life in general.

It is necessary to start from the feeling that the content to be memorized represents a brick in the wall of our knowledge without which the latter would not exist.

Let's now turn to the tips:

1- Associate: link one piece of information to another that has already been assimilated and that can be easily solicited by putting them under the same badge. Let's recall the steps taken by car manufacturers: you can recognize the brand thanks to the emblematic signs: horse, lion, jaguar etc.

2- Categorize: classify under the same theme, the same root, the same material or the same color... we could also sub-categorize an important set of content, since the brain finds the need to classify when it has to memorize more than nine words at a time. Mind-mapping is very useful and efficient in this sense.

3- Record using one of the five senses, attach the content to a scent smelled at the same time, to a musical tune, to the rough touch of an object to create a link for easy recollection. This happened to me personally when after thirty years I remembered a big cup that I had lost simply when my feet touched the broken shell sand where we had camped with our family.

4- Train his memory by getting him used to doing a skechnote. Back home, you can take a moment of meditation of no more than ten minutes to go over all the events of the day, making sure to remember everything: voice, timbre of the voice, images, colors, touch sensations, smells ....

So the understanding alone, despite its relevance, is not enough to memorize a content. Finally, let us not forget that motivation is the most important key to achieving one's goals.

                          OUI, TU PEUX CHANGER LE MONDE Dans un cours de communication un de mes élève insistait sur la décision ferme de faire tout son possible de changer son entourage sa société et plus largement le monde. Bien sûr j’ai compris sa ferveur et ses sentiments ardents, sa déception et sa désillusion vis-à-vis d’un monde anarchique où les valeurs se dissipent laissant libre cours à toutes les fantaisies, toutes les libertés, sans frein, sans valeurs morales qui régisseraient nos actes ,toutefois , cet étudiant, emporté par sa jeunesse, parait désarmé et ne possède vraiment pas de moyens ni de stratégies pour « changer le monde ». Je parie que c’est le cas de la majorité des jeunes dans le monde qui vivent ce dilemme les empêchant de s’intégrer correctement dans la société. D’un côté la nature humaine, l’instinct de la naissance et de l’autre, la « corruption de la société » Voilà la conversation qui s’était déroulée entre nous : - Je vois que les gens manquent de respect

live hapily

  Live happily  The fast pace of life, stress, occupation, frantic race, disillusionment, disappointments, the modern human being is the main victim of all this disorder. Is there a place for happiness in all this imbalance? Should we think, like Gide, that we must "taste all the earthly foods" for at least an instant of happiness? If one accepts this attitude, it would be not to know how to use the will which is the expression of a wise reflection. The action of the man, in general goes in the direction of the satisfaction of its needs and thanks to the superiority of its brain, it reaches the freedom which safeguards it from the slavery of the uses and the habits. Man is then able to find at each moment what is good for him far from being driven by unconscious automatisms. But the human being, sometimes, instead of discovering new fulfilling needs, he gets trapped in the labyrinth of false needs decided most often by other actors of consumption which present them in a

why people take up martial arts as a sport

  why people take up martial arts as a sport Do martial artists practice martial arts as a simple sport or to defend themselves against likely attacks in the street or in dangerous situations? Does the choice of martial art emanate from a passion or simply for practical reasons resulting from daily life? In my opinion martial arts respond first of all to spiritual needs such as concentration, self-control, harmony and synchronization of body and mind. The elevation of all that is material is the ultimate goal of a martial arts adept, which sometimes explains the incredible feats achieved by a great expression of patience and perseverance that aims at the final goal of being "the most accomplished martial artist" imbued with a "nobility of character" according to the conception of the great master and founder of karate, Funakoshi Gichin.   The martial arts, in particular, Asian martial arts were beforehand attached to the religious practices. Indeed its pra

Improve memory

  Improve memory Usually, to memorize, a mnemonic method is used, which consists in using methods to fix the information in the memory (picket method, pictorial method using rhymes, visual method of keywords, method of word substitution etc.), however, practice has revealed their limited scope because they are effective only in very special cases. These methods cannot cultivate memory in the sense of increasing our ability to memorize in such a way that it is simply loaded with heterogeneous elements without any close relationship between them. As a result, the brain will be forced to put more effort into it than in direct memorization by repetition. So, what really improves memory? It is the education of the higher faculties of the brain to know, the coordination of ideas, attention, interest that really allows it. The human brain has the ability to clearly direct its attention to a particular area for the time it takes to record even a complicated message. (Children can spend
