Idriz is passionate about teaching others how to improve their memories and believes that with the right practice, almost everyone can get a super-memory.
Let me summarize a 17 minute video in about 2 seconds: Make a fun story out of something you want to remember and you will make a strong connection.
Michael great
Michael but it took you about 6 seconds
Thanks!
Michael seriously lol... I was like Oooo..kaaaay...🥴
Thanks!
My ex must have done this. She remembers shit from 15 years ago.
LOL
Now that was funny. But not so much for your ex. And if she see's this...she'll remember this post.
Jame Gumb that was such an inspiring comment. I clapped with my butt cheeks.
Cool8474 remove you're ego buddy
***** Aww, I feel so sorry for you :( So was your dad cheating on your mom or the other way around?
I've been trying out these tricks for about a year now while in college and it's really helped quite a bit. I never forget small things anymore now and I wonder if there's any connection. I know our brains work best when we're frequently recalling that information. So even just thinking about where you put your keys two times, separated by 10-15 second intervals, seems to help wonders. That applies with most everyday things. It's a great habit to get into.
what are the main tricks?
How to do math. ;f

hmm
can u explain more how u did it?
Jason Statham: Transporter, Expendable, Memory Athlete. Is there no end to this man's talent?
😂How could nobody noticed you??!!till now.
💀💀💀 I knew something wasn’t right here 🤣🤣🤣
Omg!! I felt that he looked like jason too! 🤣
😂😂😂 hahahah God, you made a funny memory now I can't forget you anymore
@Priya Sengh yes he is
16:42: "The next time you hear something that you wanna remember, make a fun story of it."
That's it, save you 17 minutes, for the sake of your time.
Phương Nguyễn wow is that all he has to say in 17 minutes😳
Thank You.
Wish I scrolled through comments first
Phương Nguyễn that's horrible advice for remembering programming 😂😂😭😭😭😭

Do yourself a favor and skip to 7:15.
and stop at 13:45. You'll still feel like it took a half hour to get through.

The process of creating a story between the two items that have nothing in common is reminding us that we are creative. This example by Idriz is amazing!
Seeing his head, when I heard him say I will be able to remember a deck of cards with a glance, I beleived him.
💀😭
You're mocking him, aren't you? 🤔🤔🤔
@@DuduSP7 i still beleive him. Looks like the advance version of the transporter he must be serious i need to be practicing it more btw
His gor a big forehead 😆
@@allpraisetothemosthighyah yeah, definitely you're joking him...
One doesn't have to be a practiced orator to pass along knowledge, motivation and inspiration. This gentleman did it well and I applaud his efforts.
Nice to hear a pro talking like this coz at Uni we are told exactly the same.... I passed all of my exams using this technique and its ace and I swear by it... I teach it to my kids and they are all in the top sets
believe it or not it is... i studied for two degrees at the same time. You just have to familiar yourself with things. For example, I studied for law and criminology, which means you have a lot of dates and statue and cases to remember. The one thing you can do is to write in your own words in short a very short summary of the case, then to remember the date and name of case you just think of who it may remind you of. eg, i can remember a case which i can remember as smith and doby, i familiarised this with Doby with Goby who is that alien type of thing in Harry Potter, so smith and the date automatically came up.
Make home made flash cards, either out of cardboard or just A4 paper, write the whole name and date of the case on one end, at the bottom write what it sounds like or who it reminds you off, and at the back a really short summary. Trust me it really works... only a little hard work in making the flash cards but it really helps.
My daughter failed her keyskill maths, so when she told me how bad she was at Maths I told her to make Flash cards. She had 3 wks to her GCSE Maths exams, and she passed with a C. To think she had previously failed in keyskills, and that as she was doing her A levels the teachers let her on coz she had a good study ethos, meant she had got the results she wanted.
It really is easy as pie once you get grips with it. Try it and let me know
wait so how do you memorise stuff
can u teach it to me!!!
Beiidyʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっBeidy Hun all you need to do is to familiarise yourself with things mentally, if you cant do it this way then make yourself some flash cards and test yourself
card like the ones you play with.
for example if you are studying for exams, and you have a certain topic to study, then pick out bits of the topic which you feel are the one you need to study on. put the word on one side of the card and the other side put something you think it sounds like.... it might be a story or a favourite cartoon or even a family member which drives you out of your mind... anything.. promise it will get so much easier.. try it and let me know

thank you!

Thanks! Much more helpful than "hey it's Jason Statham!"

The Number 1 fear most common among people is the fear of public speaking. So all those haters out there should acknowledge that this TED speaker at least spoke up before about hundreds of people, probably impromptu even. That's impressive enough. Another point is that this guy may not even be conveying his ideas in his native tongue. Lay down on the negative comments a bit, please. Thank you and have a splendid day. ^^
He takes time to get to the point but its worth watching it.
Idriz Zogaj :thank you very much, I think it will help me using my memory
in a better way. Greetz from the Netherlands, two thumbs up .
now how in the hell am i going to turn my chemistry notes into a story
Exactly lmao
Jennifer xxo Turn it into a story like you make friendship with sodium and you are a water molecule ... Then there is a fight between you two and sodium jumps onto you and then there is an explosion ....... END OF THE STORY .... You died now close the book.
I can visualize chemistry perfectly without having to make a story....think of it practically
Awesome video. Wow!! Very interesting I enjoy it very much! 💖👍👍
Once a upon a time negative and positive always hated each other due to them being oposites. But as time went on h
They both learned to work together and set aside their differences. The end. Your welcome.
I really enjoyed this talk. It's clear that brain can be trained, you just have to try. This idea of trying to make stronger connections seems so powerful. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you TEDx Talks, for making a world a better one with your chosen speakers (I know, they do it willingly and they just need to have an idea).
Hi TEDx Goteborg!
Thank you presenting for Idriz for this very special moment in mnemonic technique. This has been an inspiration to me for being a bit more proactive about reinforcing my ability to remember what I should.
My greatest benefit from this was the reminder, yet, in other words, for conscientiously creating "strong connections" for what I need to remember. It's a reminder to the effect that it's crucial to always be alert for that throughout the day and every moment I'm awake.
And, of course, please, allow me to say: TEDx does it, again!
I have a weak memory and I always forget. I have listened (not thoroughly) up to the examples you have given (the snail+door etc) and then paused and continued to browse the internet for over 20 minutes but returned to the video and I was able to recall (vividly) the examples he had given (in which order as well). This is incredibly exciting and I will read the recommended book and put in the necessary effort to master this. Thank you so much, this is amazing! :D
Hello! Do you mind me asking how your memory is after these years? Has it improved?
@@siliconecorpse are you fr?
@@Thiigso no she is alive. and she won the memory championship in 2018.
@@Thiigso yeah you did'nt see news ?
Oh man... I must have missed it, glad she is doing alright!
I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time.
This is exactly what I do in school and I’ve always wonder if other people have done it. It makes studying extremely fun and you retain the material longer the stronger the story is. Emphasize on emotion (fun, sad, anger) as your brain will retain that information for a long time.
For me, what I’ve done is I create fictional characters and tie them to a story and relate it to a material.
For my personal example: I would link restriction enzyme (enzyme that cuts DNA) to a story such as one of my characters slicing a DNA with a sword. Now whenever someone mentions restriction enzyme I think of that.
These fictional characters are precious to me and I absolutely love them. They came from a variety of genre that I enjoy. Now link a material to a story where that precious character dies and see if that material doesn’t engrave on your mind. I sound like a weirdo but it works for me.
Me too. thats how I got through med school. Assigning visual qualities often help. It makes learning fun!!! :)
what a bunch of weirdos!
Vanco Mycin did you do that for anatomy? :)
To people like you I always say: CONGRATULATIONS! You have figured out how the brain works when it creates good and strong memories! By your self! In the Swedish national memory team we have a girl who has had "naturally good" memory as long as she can remember. She thought that everyone else was "strange" that could not remember things as good as she did. But when people started to call her "Weirdo" like ABHISHEK LIMBU (no offence) she kept quiet about it... Then something amazing happened... She found me on the internet and we started to talk memory, of course. I sent her my book, she read it and started crying when she realized that people trained them self to be as crazy as her! She is today one of the best memorizers in the world when it comes to names and faces (185 in 15 minutes!) and took several medals at the World Memory Championships 2014 as well as helping team Sweden to gold!
It would be interesting if guy's would test my app ( Zogaj Memo Gym ) and particularly Chain play, that is very hard for people that have no techniques. Only the girl above has made it to 30 with "no techniques" (I later found out that she is using techniques but not in a perfect way). After just telling her how the techniques could be perfected she did 60! Only memory athletes can do 60 as far as I know. But please prove me wrong! :)
This is also the reason why I write memory books for children and have made a game that requires memory techniques and is for children from 3-4 years old (like the app). Since I want ALL children to understand that getting a good and active memory is a choice you can make when you are little. Since most teachers in Schools do not train you on it. Hence why we can revolutionize the school system... Big dreams I know, but quite easy to conduct if we all just put a little effort to it. And you guy's are my proof... you got it on your own!
Again, congratulations and keep up the good work!
Idriz Zogaj let me try your app, FYI i don't have a memory technique or something, but my memory isn't tht bad, i can have a glance at around 30 digits for a short while and can memorize it, am i good enough??? :) i would really appreciate if you can help me further
I have tried it, and it works . you just need to believe

I know
Muslim kids memorize a whole Quran at age 7. It is 600 plus pages and they retain the information. Now that is a real memory!
First of all, I did not bring that up in regards to superiority or inferiority. I simply wrote that to elaborate on the profound power of memory. Second point; you have many grammatical mistakes you need to work on, and my third point is; The issue regarding bombs and explosives is that those youth are being told the elders ( whom themselves do not know the proper meaning of the Quran) tell them to do it and they will go to heaven. Thats not what ISLAM AND QURAN is all about. It is nothing then a mere message of Oneness of God, good behavior, proper conduct, self discipline and a message of peace. Those who do evil acts in the name of ISLAM are fools and fools belong in the lower depths of hell.
GIRAFFE! Dontgive ashit naseer ahmad The ignorance.... poor Naseer, not all Westerners are like this! We're not all bad! I promise!
I am a Westerner, I am an American, I am Muslim, I probably know the American culture more then you'll ever know. And I did not generalize, I know not all Westerners are like that, but you have to admit, the majority of people are pretty fu%$#@ ignorant, just like they are in the Middle East.
Im english so yea you will know more than me :p
GIRAFFE! Don't generalize... I'm an atheist but your small racist brain makes me wanna puke!
I was gonna watch this months ago but I totally forgot..
+paulspydar jajaja
lmao me too!!
+paulspydar I got bored by the 10 minute mark.
Already been tested with memory during a rather intensive IQ test that took 4.5 days to do 2836 questions.
I exceeded the math/number sequencing 2 digits beyond the test criteria.
It only allowed for 18 digits but the tester made up an extra 2 totaling 20 just for his own curiosity.
He would state a number and I had to repeat it backwards.
I also have OCD and have been habitually doing this for 41 years - lol.
Not all mental issues are negative so I told off a group of 12 OCD sufferers in 2014 because they just wanted to get rid of it as if it`s all a bad thing.
Some is, but many of us have learned to harness it.

True story!
This is why it is so hard to remember things for school.
The odd memories never change.The boring ones go away.
The funnier it gets, the harder to forget!
Fun makes it easy.
Boredom makes us busy.
When it comes to the brain
you need an inspirational rain
The harder we try
the easier it will fry
Just add some fun to it
and you'll get over it!
I just thought of it!!!
I will test this method today!
ALZHEIMERDINGER I agree
oh the irony of you having that username and commenting this
Good one
This is beautiful 😭😭
I learned a technique similar to this :
1. Choose a room you're familiar with, and convert what you want to remember into objects.
2. Put those objects into any place you want in this room respectively, like desk, chair, bed, shelf or somewhere else...
3.You can use another room if you want.
I found this method perform really great! I can still remember few things half a year ago !
I'm not boast at all ! Actually, my memory is always sucks...
This video gives interesting advice to develop memory and remember when people like me need memorizing vocabularies, slangs, idioms, phrasal verbs, and so on that are the base to be fluent in whatever languages. Thank s you for sharing.
Thanks Jason Statham
That was a good one.

I am a physician, M.D. in Mississippi and would like to share my experience here. I've been in the United States for 25 years but I was born and raised in Bombay, India which I visit every couple of years. Now, India is a multilingual country and Bombay is the most cosmopolitan Indian city where several languages are spoken. Ever since I can remember, I was exposed to 6 languages including English (education though, was exclusively in English with French and the vernacular lingo being an optional subject, and that too starting only in the 5th grade). Besides English (&French) at school and with friends, by the age of 3 or 4 I could also speak Hindi (+read/write), Marathi (+read/write), Telugu and Gujarati fluently. And each of these languages in 2 or 3 different regional dialects. As for Chinese, we had a small ethnic Chinese minority in Bombay who spoke Mandarin Chinese at home (only speak, not read/write) and English and 2 or 3 local Indian languages. I've been away from India for 25 years and living in South Mississippi, hardly ever get to speak the Indian languages and YET, I have not lost my fluency in these. My American friends, co-workers and office staff are amazed at this ability of mine and say "Doc, you're a doctor, you're smart and that's why". If I was indeed so smart I would not have been struggling with Spanish considering that 20% of my patients are Latino and I still sometimes need my office translator to whom I pay $27000 a year!
Bottom line is that as a child, toddler, your brain's capacity to learn things is infinite but as an adult, it's very limited. In Medical School, by the time you've passed your Ist year and successive years, you've forgotten 70% of what you've learned during the previous year. Left me saying to myself, if I could learn and remember 6 languages by the time I was 4 or 5, why not my medical subjects??
Jackson, Mississippi.
Yes Sir, I hear your comments but I would like to point out a few things. I'm actually a pediatrician with almost 25 years of experience with seeing aged 0-18 years. Keeping aside my professional experience, and the fact that an average child has a vocabulary of 250 words including 3 word sentences. And that also, presuming a monolingual environment. That apart, what I have said here is from my own experience as a child and not as a doctor. At 3 or 4 years of age, I said I only could speak these languages at the basic level of skills expected of a 3 or 4 year old and not claimed to be able to compose literature in the languages. Only with age was I able to gain more and more fluency in all of these. And yes, I do watch stuff in some of these languages on TV or RUclips from time to time even though I've not had a conversation with another person. Learning and forgetting are very complicated processes about which we know very little even today, there is no general rule of thumb. And no doubt, practicing is very important to retain proficiency, beyond basic fluency.
But what you are saying is that if you are marooned alone on an island (hypothetically) for 1 year or to give you, sir, the benefit of the doubt, for 3 years, you will forget your speech altogether, languages included. You wont even remember the names of your friends and family when you see them again in a couple of years because you have not been able to speak to a fellow human being during that time. Today, we live in the age of communication and globalization where we can call and talk to our families in faraway countries but not so, 60 or 70 years ago when students from different countries traveled west for higher studies for several years before they met anybody else that spoke their native language, but I don't think they all forgot their language(s).
But thanks for the opportunity to clarify anyways.
Sir, with all due respect, the subject here is the ability to learn and remember something, not whether one can forget something over a lifetime or not.
But again, one can forget anything, incidents, events and language. If one suffers a head injury like a severe concussion one can forget his own name and address. But no matter how severe the concussion, it's extremely rare to forget your language (or languages), that is, the power of speech altogether. Unless he has suffered an injury to the Broca's area (and ?? Wernicke's area) and these is complete or partial loss of speech itself. Coming back to the subject of language (or languages), I am sure that if you have NEVER spoken or even heard a language for many, many years, 20 or 30 years since your childhood, you likely will lose lose the ability to speak that language but when you hear it being spoken again, you will remember what the words mean, slowly and gradually but surely. Not everything, but increasingly with time and some practice.
***** Agreed, I don't think kids have better brains or something, just that they are more interested in learning and have less on their mind. I feel like adults can learn languages fine and actually quite fast
That is why I do not trust doctors...they just don't know anything and refer to books all the time......all they know is what medication to prescribe...and even that they have to look up in their book....over paid..very over paid.
I fully agree with you.
man this talk would have saved me a lot of bullshit in school if I had found it 20 years ago

Thanks for the fun and informative video about memory. I have hundreds of memory palaces that I use for different purposes. I've used houses, apartments, and dorms I've lived in, schools, parks, neighborhoods, workplaces, and even movies and TV episodes as memory palaces. I used them to memorize Pi to about 5,600 places, and have used them in the Long-Term Memory events of the USA Memory Championship, which I've competed in 4 times, finishing as high as 3rd place in this year's competition.
Yes but how do you remember binary or songs in an indigenous language that I don’t know the meanings of all the words
I wish I only had to remember snails and doors in college
Francesca me too!!
I think it's a better idea.... relating something @ something works for me well....I also wish you would be able to!!!
He is not saying remember snails and doors... turn the information infront of you to a story, let them relate to something... i still rememner that the snail opened the door for me and the birds was building walls with the bricks ..lol . .. he said it too, we put lot of info into our brains as students. The question we should ask is, how many of this info do we actually use in the real world. How many Algebra, calculus have we engage as individuals in our day to day living. Should we really be storing this info? Believe me, the only reason you wanna lear them is so you can pass your exams...may be the new model should be, to get us interact with these info, discuss them but doesnt have to cram them into our brains.. then we choose our core area of interest as we grow old. just think... Havent I spent last 20years of my life learning things I will never use... Doesnt that easily pass for junk? (if you see any error, forgive it...I simply didnt go back to edit...lol...)Dare George
Algebra and calculus are pre-requisites to statistics which are used (if you are any good) at these fields: Economics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, everything related to computers, Bookkeeping, making any kind of predictions about the future, Demography, Politic campaigns, Finances and trading, Engineering, idk... tons more. So I guess if you clean dishes at the local cafeteria you don't need that. Or if you are mediocre in your field. But anywhere except the arts, there is place for that information.

swat22camden indeed.that happen sometimes,and you need a trigger to remember the whole story again, like a song for example,you could sing it perfectly with its lyric but then there will be a time when its stuck,after some trigger like reading/hearing a random word that exist in the lyric you will or might remember it again
In 1975 I read_The Memory Book_ by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas. Understood what they were teaching, never drilled myself on doing what they suggested. Although, in a lame senior high school english class, where we were assigned a list of vocabulary words each day, I composed a story that used those words in order, and everybody in my little cliche got 100% on the test each day. The teacher suspected we were "cheating", but could not prove anything. To this day, I remember "coalesce with a cogent coaster-monger"...
Yeah... I learnt my memory skills from Harry Lorayne's peg/link system too and passed on the knowledge to my children when they were just 4 years old.
@@vincentyfsiew My child is also 4 years old, specifically how do you do it
@@gpdashixiong start with a few simple words they are familiar with like... sweets, pencil, bird, ruler, cap and teach them to link by creating a "story". Have they recite the story in the sequence and test them what is item #2,, #4 ... etc. Next, have them recite the items backwards. This should take a couple of tries. When they are good enough, expand the vocabulary to 10 items, then 15, 20...

+Chatty Raven Being able to give a speech doesn't make you good at it. He's brave yes, but he's still a bad speaker. That said, I personally could never speak in front of such a croud.
I found this pretty inspiring. I am dyslexic and naturally have a poor working memory compared to the natural bell curve. The prospect of applying techniques to move up that curve, transcend the curve even (maybe!), is a very tempting one. I heard on another TED talk a 15-20% 'short term memory improvement' in kids from a brain training game. I appreciate practise is everything in this, but this talk also implies that a much bigger improvement is possible applying techniques like the memorising a emotive story. Is there a good memory techniques book anyone would recommend? I am struggling to find any specific working memory book in fact. Something that might help with binary digits, cards etc.
its a simple concept; correlate what would otherwise seem like random names and ideas with a story to tie them together. that way one of the names reminds you of the other. Bend the word itself to have a new meaning related to a bent version of the other word, in your own little universe. be sure you will easily recall the information in relation together... :)
I used to do this in school to remember important facts and thought i was insane lol. I never knew other people did it. Awesome to see its a widely used technique! It works so well. You come up with a bizzare imagined scenario for whatever you must remember and its hard NOT to remember.
That should be taught in schools. To optimize mankind, you know...
agreed
The hate is real
yeap
Alpha Grisby true dat
it should but then students wont need to show up to class cuz they all got straight "A"s and the school wont get enough funds and a conspiracy theory that is not complete yet... i need to work on this one ... anyway the government probably thinks its better if everyone learns slowly

Using this approach is how I got all the way to graduate school to research molecular biology and biochemistry. But, although it makes studying much more fun and effective, creatively linking everything we learn is painfully time consuming.
I hope it works for me!
Gabriel Suarez He didn't say you would master it over night. Like everything else you make sacrifices and in this case time would be your sacrifice.
if he works at taco bell, you hand him ur card to pay and he memorizes the numbers
LOL
Dude, you just made me rich.
I see the word taco bell and i click like
Reithez LOL U KILLED ME WITH THIS ONE....
Maybe too late.... but that was a good one lmaoo🤣🤣🤣
STATHAM OF MEMORY
I'm done! LMAO
DEAD!! XD
Statham is much more exciting! This guy's boring!
Well at least he is helpful
You have to be creative and think gigantically.the more inpossible the more you remember..today it's not hard for me to memorize cell numbers associating the number with the person who owns it..i only read the book once and listened to the tapes and i gave it to my friend because the author is really good in pointing out everything
I have used this technique for years and I am able to memorize 256 binary digits in 2 minutes.
did u read a book? if so what was the book>?
Are you telling the truth
It's all about converting them into characters. (check ascii table) Since I have studied CS, I'm familiar with this kind of things. I don't 100% success all the time for sure but always very accurate.
DLIMS Ed check out Joshua foer's video on wired. he talks about a number to letter chart that he uses to memorize extremely long numbers
Final Fantasy do you know the whole ascii table by heart?
don't let this distract you from the fact that Mr. Krabs sold Spongebob's soul for only 62 cents.
😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the reminder, needed that😓
I forgot when was wife's birthday, but will remember for the rest of my life that giant snail has a door. thanks youtube.
of all the ted talk he might not be the smoothest explainer but for some reason, I get what he means I have seen other said the same thing about memory but this one struck my brain 'Let your brain have fun' this makes me realized something important and I know what to do.
When the ski and the giraffe came up all I thought about is
"Say Colorado"
"IM A GIRAFFE"
Matty Hendo YEEEEEEEEES
Hahahaha...the vine

BananaGaming ayyyy :) Glad ur watching these videos man.
+BananaGaming Är du svensk? xD hahah
+BananaGaming I..I can't talk your language bro -_-
Meeti HD He just said he recognized him from Chalmersinnovation, then he found this video of him.
Always did this when I learned Kanji (japanese letters), made pictures. Works sooo good.
16:41 that's when the important part starts. You're welcome.
Sam Enrique Lmaooo, thank you

lol, That thumbnail lied this isn't Jason Statham
+Turbine68 lmao!
+Turbine68
I'm also here because I thought it was him. :'D
same, lol
Soo so bad...me too!!
take positives and comment on negativities
Ok who can actualy explain me how im supposted to do a fun story of randomly shuffled 52 cards?
idk
Yeah, I was wondering how they implement this on a deck of cards as well.
"A King with a good heart went to see 5 clubs where he met a lady with really big spades." Something like that?
@@miked7295 you ruined the joke
You make a list and every card corresponds to an image. So for example
Ace of spades=Robert De Niro
9 of hearts = shooting
4 of diamonds = your cousin
So they see those 3 cards and make a story. There are many ways to make these lists
One is called the PAO system,
Another the major system. You should definetly try them
I heard it for 3 minutes and jumped to comment section , thank God it savedbmy time ,i just read the conclusion 😀
I've memorized the cards but still cant remember peoples names, meetings, schedules and important stuff...
Gui Comelli ME
For people, find an interesting facial feature and ‘attach’ their name to it.
I connect a new persons name with someone I already know or a famous person, it works every time.
how did you memorize the cards
It's not only your problem...dost
I can tell just by looking at him that he has a big brain.
Some people thought he's Bruce Willis while some is Jason Statham. I thought it was Krillin.
lmao. No not krillin
alkabaylon69 Hehe. Given his brightness, he may just be a super saiyan.
+Tom Cat HAHAHAHAHA
+Tom Cat LMAAOOOOOO
me to krillin
The fact that you can see in the audience the amount of aw when they realize that they remembered without trying is amazing
my story was....theres a big pink flamigo shitting bricks and laying them. brick laying flamingo. lol
+rafael soria OMG, that was mine too!!! Hahaha
HickoryDickory86 great minds think alike hahaha! awesome
+rafael soria I imagined a line of flamingos walking in and crouching down till they turn into the bricks.
RubixB0y Well that's unique
+rafael soria Great idea, i really like the way you think. Haha
He looked like he was forgetting his speech
yeee but he was just anxious..i understand him
And English is not his first language, possibly he thinks first in his native language and then translates his words to English.
I think he knew it so well, he had to look at the chronometer not to be too quick or finish too soon.
This is very true. Eventhough English is not my first language I never have to translate anything from Dutch (my native language) to English in my head while typing.
+Niels Peelen true English isnt my language as well , and i am glad i can now think in english :)
I am going to destroy this vocab test now...
it worked on me, i have pretty bad memory but ive successfully memorized all of the pictures and the exact order he showed just by watching this video once without any pause.
Jason statham twin?
KFLY67 pavarotti p
No, unfortunately...
haha
I clicked this video because i thought it was him and also i have a terrible memory lmao
I thought so LOL!
I bet he memorised everything he said in this video. LOL
Slept, woke up, had breakfast and: Snail & Door, Flamingo & Brick Wall, 1KG Weight & Elephant, Skiing man & Giraffe, Snake & sun.
Cheers mate, it looks like it actually works :)
This works in 2 ways, one is that your brain is better at remembering happy experiences .The second is as follows, imagine a brain cell with many arms. Every new memory you create which passes through that brain cell by using it in memory recall causes it to reach out and join with another neuron around it. The more connections in makes with different neurons, the more connections that have to be broken for you to forget. You can keep trying to strengthen the connection between the same two neurons but lots of connections will be better than fewer connections that are a bit stronger.
He told his life journey and adventures but didn't much discuss of the 'How'
The pictures and the stories, the snails, the bricks, placing it around the building - that's literally all it is. Maybe he didn't quite explain that those pictures have to represent other things - you use the same technique to link them to cards, or your shopping list, for example. They represent other things.
Sort of
Paul Pinto he did . I would say he explained it quite well . This is just one technique . There are others out there.
I was hoping that he was going to explain how he remembers at least some of the cards. They are quite similar compared to the drawings he showed during the presentation.
What he explained is what I basically did while learning how to speak English. I was watching videos with subtitles and looking up the meanings of the words I didn't know right after hearing them.
And here I am being called, a living German-English vocabulary by my classmates.
(And I keep finding new words while the others struggle with building sentence and not knowing the English alphabet after H)
That's because you gave your brain what it needed
That's kind of different from this video
Your brain saves important things easier
And the letters you just heard and didn't know the meaning , get implemented as important for your brain , so as you search for the meaning , you are making it seem more in portant because you are putting effort for it and when you finnaly find it , it snaps in to your brain for eternity
- Obvious thing we tend to forget.
- When we visualize an uncommon situations out brain focused on the task and if we focused on the tusk, we tell our brain it is important - remember this.
- If you repeat something regularly you create a strong connections in your brain and this allows you remember something longer.
- Just have happy practicing. If you want to remember something, just have fun and imagine interesting story and you will make strong connections in your brain.
I'm curious to know which book he read.
Author of the book is Adam Khoo who was a memory master. He wrote so many books that the same Idea "How your brain work better"
Nhật Tuấn Thanks!
no he said in the video it was Dominic O'Brien...
I'll check them both out, thanks :)
Adam Khoo is asian
Statham did not kill anynone in this scene....
i was thinking the same.
Are you certain...
oh , hello Idriz .. i'm supporting you dude , you are awesome :D
Idriz Zogaj Hi! This is great advice, I didn't know this was an actual methods, I always associate what am studying to silly stories in my Gross Anatomy class and I always get As in that class. I would definitely like to improve on this skill, any books that you would suggest?
Grace Owino moonwalking with einstein is a good book on memory palaces written by joshua foe
He could be Jason Statham's stunt double.
You are right,dude.This really true.I'm useing my memory better now!Thanks...
For anyone who doesn't know this is Jason Statham's stunt double. He's the one that eats all the punches.
Hell Yeah :))
For Jason Statham
I was not aware of this. Thank you for this info. :)
you're genies lol but rude too haha
and he remembers every punch too!
Great insight Idris. The human mind is so powerful that there's nothing it can't achieve if Harnessed.
Thanks once again for that wonderful insight.
Jason Statham has a brother ! A pretty smart too ! Thanks !
I'm smiling like a little girl rIght now after seeing you reply to my comment :D thank you for the tips I fInd them very usefull now that I got some exams ahead!
LOL I was about to say the same thing.
I was thinking the exact same thing! The thumbnail of this Statham look alike-ish face is what brought me here :D.
What is the name of that book on memory dude?
Just tell me that.
+Sridhar Kaushik Right? That seems like a huge oversight. This video was also posted on covertpersuader.net and someone there said the author of that book was Dominic O'Brien. I can't prove that's true, but O'Brien has lots of memory books on Amazon.

Nobody thinks this guy looks like Jason Statham?
His ugly half brother.
Nick Tjia thats why i clicked on the video 😂😂😂😂😂
just hair and beard
i do too
I would say, Jason without makeup! :P
Generally all Mentalist said that while learning we used our subconscious mind but when I go to remember something I used my conscious mind as I think and I always realised that
Has anyone tried memory techniques to be more successful at university? Was it worth it? What did you learn from it? Can you use it for concepts and methods eg how to differentiate/integrate?
tahi laci I have, and I got 106% in pathophysiology. I used the book How to Memorize Everything You Want and Manage the Rest and also How to Develop a Super Power Memory.
tahi laci Yes, I find these type memory techniques quite helpful but mostly for things without concepts. The concept is sort of already a story itself so when you are trying to link two things without a concept I find memory techniques do the trick.
For grasping concepts I find linking them to real world application helpful. I think this is spoken about in other ted talk videos pertaining to learning but I find determining a goal for learning can help clarify the important parts of a concept. Asking yourself why you are learning this particular concept, where you will be using it, what situations will require the use of it, imagining yourself using this concept in the future and what about that concept you would be trying to access in this imagined future. It helps to guide your learning. In a way this is not much different from the above memory techniques. It is all about creating a story in your mind, a narrative. One is more fun and silly while the other is more substantial, information rich.
perfectlyadaptable well i'm at school and all we learn is crap that can never be used in life so what do i do with that??? i am trying to graduate with high grades because i want to study medicine in college and in my cluntry u have to memorize about 15 books in and month and half then have a test in each book with very little time to revise... and i'm about to finish... only got one week left out of this month and a hlaf. but i feel like i forgot so much and i dont know what to do... got any techniques to help me?! :(
***** I already said.
Maya mahmoud If you're not doing it already, the first thing to do would be to use a flashcard program like Anki. It's especially good for memorising large amounts of information and not forgetting, which is why I think it was suggested for medical students. (+ anyone who learns Chinese)
