#1 We’ve all grown accustomed to the frustration of memory lapses, and the little things we do to get by in spite of them. We often forget what we want to remember, and we never forget what changes our lives.

I found the Extreme Mental Calculation World Cup, where the best head-mathletes flex their brains by incorporating memorization techniques in their calculations.

#3 The best way to remember anything is to turn it into a mental image. When I first learned this, I was so fascinated that I didn’t care about how to apply the techniques in my everyday life.

#4 The best part of success is the opportunity it affords me to talk about memory to new people all the time. I’m proud of my accomplishments, but the best part of success is the opportunity it affords me to show people how easy, fun, and life-changing it is to learn these techniques and put them to use.
