Chapter 22 Suspense method: because you remember, you have

At dinner today, I picked up a piece of ham and asked you, "What is Confucius' sentence about dried meat in Shuer?" You thought for a long time, but couldn't answer.You didn't pick up until I said "Binding yourself?..." "Above", but I can't think of the next sentence - "I have nothing to say." Then I asked you: "Yes, what are the following two words?" You also thought for a few seconds before answering "no class". I asked you again, Confucius said: "How about 'take one corner, no'?" You shrugged and said, "It seems to think of the other three corners of the table."

Then when I complained about what you taught me not long ago, but you forgot about the same thing, you were still unconvinced and said that you have so much homework and so many things to think about, of course it is easy to forget, and you gave me another look and said: " Daddy is a freak with a good memory, so he can memorize so many things." You are wrong! My memory is not better than others at all. The reason why I am able to memorize what I have read before, such as "The Story of Yueyang Tower", is because I have used a special method of memory - the method of suspense.

In fact, everyone will be in suspense.For example, a classmate tells you that three months later, he will invite you to his house to play.If you are not close friends with him, and you are not curious about his family, it is likely that after three months, unless he reminds you again, you have already forgotten the appointment. But in contrast, if the President of the United States says that he will invite you to the White House as a guest three months later, you will never forget it. why? Because you valued him and made that invitation a big deal.In the next three months, I will read it every day, and of course I will not forget it.

In the same way, if you read something today that is going to be tested in a month, even if you never have a chance to review it during this month, I am afraid that by the time of the test, you will only forget one-third of it. On the contrary, after only two weeks after the exam, you may have forgotten more than half of it. why? Because the exam is over, you are relaxed and there is no more suspense. The human brain is very wonderful. Not only do you "think by day and dream at night", but if you have something important the next morning, even if you sleep very soundly, you may wake up by yourself before the alarm clock rings, which means that you have dreamed. Still in suspense.

So if you want to keep something in mind, the best way is to pay attention to it and think about it.You will find that as long as you hang it gently in your heart, it can produce very good results. According to research, we do "short-term memory" and "long-term memory" in different parts of the brain.Most things are stored in short-term memory.For example, if you want to call a certain store, you look through the phone book, find the number, remember it, and then dial and talk on the phone, but before you put the phone down, you have already forgotten the number.Calculating that "short-term memory" is only a few minutes.

It can be seen from this that when you want to learn a lot, it is indeed possible to memorize the new ones and forget the old ones.The question is, if everything you learn is only in the "short-term storage warehouse" in your head, can your knowledge be rich? It's like how much you earn, It is impossible for a person who spends a lot to have savings. When I was in college, there was a very ordinary professor. When he studied in Japan, he only taught him what the Japanese professor taught him, so he moved to teach us.But he said a word, I will never forget it in my life. He said: "Today I said it and wrote it on the blackboard. If you remember it, it will become yours. It is no longer exclusive to me or my Japanese professor. No one can take it away."

Think about it, what kind of treasure in this world can't be taken away by others? Those are "possessions outside the body", if you are robbed, you will be gone.Only the knowledge you have learned, stored in your mind, is what you can really keep. So I suggest you, use the "suspense method".Pay attention to what you have learned first, and then think about it and read it often, so that it will take root in the warehouse of your "long-term memory" and let you have it for a lifetime.
