Learning mind

What you need to know as a novice public speaker Plateaux in the curve of learning: We never learn anything - be it playing a keyboard, golf, speaking a new language say french, or public speaking by means of gradual improvement. Friends often we advance by sudden jerks and abrupt starts. Then we may remain stationary for a few weeks, or even lose some of the proficiency we have gained. Psychologist call these periods of stagnation "Plateaux in the curve of learning". We may strive hard for a long time and not be able to get off one of the "Plateaux" and on to an upward ascent again. Some people, not realizing this curious fact about  the way we progress, get discouraged on these plateaux and abandon all effort. That is extremely regrettable, for if they were to persist, if they were to keep on practicing, they would suddenly find that they had lifted like an aeroplane and made tremendous progress again overnight. It's also necessary we come

The science of remembering  Now you would never forget  your prepared speech. So much for the  First Law  and Second Law of remembering. The third one; Association. This is coming last but vital important you note that, it is the indispensable element in recalling. In fact, it is the explanation of memory itself. The only way anything can possibly be remembered at all is by associating it with some other facts. Learning always progresses from the known to the unknown. Like Professor James illustrated; "whatever appears in the mind, must be introduced, it is an associate of something already there..." The one who thinks over his experiences most, and weaves them into a systematic relation with the other, will be the one with the best memory. When you wish to associate one fact with others already in the mind, think over the new fact from all angles. Ask about it such questions as these: "Why is this so? How is it so? Where is it so? Who said it so? To

How to remember your notes better.  Repetition; the second "natural law of remembering" One of the largest universities in the world is the Al-Azhar at Cairo. It has thousands of students. The entrance examination requires every applicant to repeat the Koran from memory. The Koran has some many words, so much that it would require three days to recite it. How is it that these Arabs students can perform these apparently prodigious feat of Memory? The foregoing article will attempt to give in depth insight into the preceding  question and expose us to the remarkable potential that can be wielded by an understanding of the law of repetition. You can memorize an almost endless amount of material if you will repeat it enough. Thousand of the Islamic students memories the Koran, they do it largely through the power of repetition. I would re-echo this concept again; "We all can memorize anything within reason if we repeat it often enough". But

How to improve your memory  "The average man does not use above 10% of his actual inherited capacity for memory." retorted noted psychologist, professor Carl Seashore. In our previous post (  how famous speakers prepared their Address ) we insisted that reading your speech would get the young man in the group thinking about the next football match, yeah, reading your speech destroys about 50% of the interest in your talk. The next question you would ask is; "How can I memorize my speech"? I would tell the best way to memorize anything. Do you know that the average man does not use above 10% of his actual inherited capacity for memory. Today we would be enlightened on the three most powerful natural laws of remembering: Impression, Repetition, Association.

How Famous Speakers Prepared their Address.  " The art of war," said Napoleon, "is a science in which nothing succeeds which has not been calculated and thought out." That is as true of speaking as of war. A talk is like a ship. It must be charted. The speaker who starts nowhere, usually gets nowhere.
