Memory

I really do not believe in the concept having good memory. I just think the person either understands the subject or have memorized it. In my opinion, I believe that good memory is just when one actually takes in and stores what they want to remember. It is something that will take a lot of hard work and time. They have to train themselves as well as they brain to be able to store and remember things. People think that if they are forgetful that it is because they have bad memory but it is just because they did not really store that in their mind in order to remember.
Someone who studies the material over and over again and have understood it in depth is someone that is said to be having good memory. It is just their hard work and effort that helps them re-collect.
Images are the best memory technique for me. I will look at images and remember them later on. Therefore, for the information that I cannot remember I will draw pictures or even sometimes make up funny words that will help me remember it. Another technique is singing songs or making up rhymes about what you are learning. This helps as the tone could be from a favourite song so will help me remember all the lyrics made by me. Flashcards also help.
Most techniques like images. songs. flash cards are all short-term if they are not revised or gone through over and over again. If one keeps using this techniques to keep studying the material then it will help this will help them remember it as a long-term memory.
