Memory Training

The three principles through which an accurate and unfaltering
memory may be trained are few and comparatively simple:

1. Retention: The receiving of a sense impression through one or more
of the five senses, and the recording of this impression in the mind.
As stated earlier, this process may be likened to the recording of a
picture on the plate of a camera.

2. Recall: The reviving or recalling into the conscious mind of those
sense impressions that have been recorded in the subconscious
mind. This process could be compared to going through a card
index and pulling out a card on which information had been previously recorded.

3. Recognition: The ability to recognize a sense impression when it is
called into the conscious mind, to identify it as being a duplicate
of the original impression, then to associate it with the source
from which it came when it was first recorded. This process enables
us to distinguish between memory and imagination.

Now let us make application of these principles and determine
how to use them effectively.
First, when you wish to be sure of your ability to recall a sense
impression, such as a name, a date, or a place, be sure to make the
impression vivid by concentrating on it to the finest detail An effective
way to do this is to repeat the information several times. Just as a photographer
must give an exposure proper time to record itself on the
plate of the camera, so must we give the subconscious mind time to
properly and clearly record any sense impression that we wish to be
able to recall readily.
Next, associate whatever you wish to remember with some other
object, name, place, or date that is familiar to you, such as the name
of your hometown, a close friend, your birth date, and so on. Along
with the sense impression you can easily recall, your mind will also
store the one you may not recall as easily. Later, bringing the familiar
impression into the conscious mind will also bring the other with it.

Repeat what you wish to remember, a number of times, while at
the same time concentrating your mind on it. The common failing of
not being able to remember the names of other people, which most
of us have, is due entirely to the fact that we do not properly record
the name in the first place. When you are introduced to a new person,
repeat their name four or five times, first making sure you understood the name correctly. If the name is similar to that of someone else you know, associate the two names, thinking of both as you repeat the name of the new person.

The law of association is the most important feature of a well
trained memory and it is also a very simple law.

WHAT YOU SEE (IN YOUR MIND'S EYE) 
IS WHAT YOU GET. 
PROOF: WHAT YOU SAW 
IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT YOU GOT! 
-Joe Klock 

"BUT CAN YOU PERSUADE US, IF WE 
REFUSE TO LISTEN TO YOU?" HE SAID. 
"CERTAINLY NOT," REPLIED GLAUCON. 
"THEN WE ARE NOT GOING TO LISTEN; 
OF THAT YOU CAN BE ASSURED." 
-The Republic by Plato 

Begin now to cultivate the ability to fix attention, at will, on 
a given subject, with a feeling that this ability when fully developed 
would bring you the object of your Definite Chief Aim in life.

 All great leaders in every walk of life are highly sexed, but they follow the habit of controlling their sex desires, switching them into a driving force behind their occupation. The person who has self discipline understands the emotion of sex, respects it, and learns to control and transmute it into contructive activities. Q: Just what damage is there in over-indulgence of sex? A: The greatest damage is that it depletes the source of man's greatest driving force, and wastes, without adequate compensation, man's creative energy. Controlled sex supplies the magnetic force that attracts people to one another. It is the most important factor of a pleasing personality. It gives quality to the tone of voice and enables one to convey through the voice any feeling desired. It serves, as nothing else can serve, to give motive power to one's desires. It keeps the nervous system changed with the energy needed to carry on the work of maintaining the body. It sharpens the imagination...

The Golden Rule

THERE IS A DESTINY THAT MAKES US BROTHERS: NONE GOES HIS WAY ALONE; ALL THAT WE SEND INTO THE LIVES OF OTHERS COMES BACK ONTO OUR OWN.  -Edwin Markham The Golden Rule essentially means to do unto others as you would wish them to do unto you if your positions were reversed. There is an eternal law through the operation of which we reap what we sow. When you select the rule of conduct by which you guide yourself in your transactions with others, you will very likely be fair and just if you know that by your selection you are setting into motion a power that will run its course in the lives of others, returning finally to help or to hinder you, according to its nature.  IT IS WELL TO THINK WELL; IT IS DIVINE TO ACT WELL.  -Horace Mann   The law does not stop by merely flinging back upon you your acts of injustice and unkindness toward others; it goes further than this-much further-and returns to you the results of every thought that you release. ...

 Those who can give trading more time when they start have a better chance to succeed. you must be patient. But your time will come. At the start of your trading, you should trade with small size and with one stock. You should not increase your tier size until you are positive 7/10 trading days. You should set a small max loss when you begin. You should be limited in your buying power. For example, when a new trader begins, he should not write more than 10k shares in a day, total. you are not going to be a great trader on Day One Gladwell explains, “Working hard is what really successful people do.” t deep practice, often with continuous feedback, is necessary to become great. Concentrated practice is key Daniel Coyle in The Talent Code: Greatness Isn’t Born. It’s Grown. If you want to be good at something, practice. Practice deliberately, and do so for many years.
