MAGNETISM A GROWTH.
Let us understand. You cannot reasonably hope to succeed by merely
DREAMING about success.
You surely cannot achieve success if you PLUNGE BLINDLY through
your career.
You cannot really succeed without possessing some degree of
PERSONAL MAGNETISM
MAGNETISM IS A NATURAL GROWTH.
No matter how great may be your ability to read and understand
books, that growth, that law, require time as well as intelligent
effort. No matter how poor may be your ability in such respect,
that growth is absolutely certain if you put reasonable time and
genuine effort into its acquisition.
The giant trees of California were once puny saplings. The slow
lapse of time has drawn nature into their mighty hearts. Magnetism
can no more be acquired by the mere reading of a book, or by
hurried practice of its directions, than can these giants of the
West be produced in the hot-house culture of a northern summer.
MAGNETIC GROWTH IS NATURALLY SLOW. Its principles, its methods,
and the results of its study, have to be deeply sunk into and
absorbed and assimilated by the subjective self before the
reaction of magnetism in the objective life can obtain. This book
has promised no miracle. If you have read it correctly, you have
learned that magnetic growth cannot be hurried. These statements
are placed here because, had they appeared at the beginning of our
work, the outlook would have seemed, perhaps, discouraging, but
more especially because they would not have been understood. You
now understand them because you have toiled, and you can afford to
smile at such possible discouragement. You have paid an easy price
for magnetic power, for the gains discount the pains.

Magnetism and life virtues
1.Physical health is indispensable to physical magnetism;
2. Psychic righteousness (health) is indispensable to psychic
magnetism;
3. Psychic magnetism is indispensable to best physical magnetism;
4. Physical magnetism is not wholly indispensable to psychic
magnetism.
5. PERFECT PSYCHIC MAGNETISM INVOLVES HEALTH, PHYSICAL MAGNETISM
AND PSYCHIC RIGHTEOUSNESS.
The ALL-IMPORTANT departments of your personality are those of
PSYCHIC RIGHTEOUSNESS and PSYCHIC MAGNETISM.
But the IDEAL MAN of success is the WHOLE MAN always AT HIS BEST.
The whole man is more than psychic development; he is a PRODUCT
AND A CREATOR OF PRACTICAL AFFAIRS.

Magnetism and memory
Acquiring magnetism is a constructive effort. It is a building
process. You are rearing a structure. You rise, from the
foundation, through successive stories to the culminating peak.
The most pleasing, notable structures men build from granite and
steel and wood, tower like a Woolworth Building or a Rheims
Cathedral--higher and higher, until they finally reach a gold-
tipped crown or spire, high in the sunlit sky.
And so, in rearing your invisible shrine of personal Success-
magnetism, we now come to the topmost peak of the structure. This
book gives you the crowning inspirations, tipped and topped with
the final "Golden Laws of Magnetism in all Applied Life."
Master these lessons in the magnetism of success, and you will go
forth upon the highways and by-ways of life, endowed with a kingly
confidence in your ability to win a measure of success achieved by
few.
But remember--(should discouragement seek to dog your steps)--
every great structure requires the process of time. "The giant
trees of California were once puny saplings. The slow lapse of
time has drawn nature into their mighty hearts." Just as surely as
the absorption of natural forces built the giant redwoods, just as
surely can you draw upon nature for GIANT POWERS.

do you remember that face???
Do you know a fact!!!(not a general fact)My memory works best in recognising faces.Once I have seen a person somewhere,it is very difficult for me to forget him/her.But I was very poor at remembering their names even for a short while!!!
What was the reason?
The answer is simple,I did not pay enough attention when he/she told his/her name to me.I was always busy planning a next question or to say something interesting.It was a long time later that I understood,how important ones name is to oneself.It is the dearest thing they would like us to utter.So I decided to learn names.How could I accomplish it?? I did it like this,it may interest you too
1.Try to grasp his/her name at the first point(don't irritate by asking,err i forgot will u tell it oncemore??)
2.Corelate the persons name with some interesting features of the person or some interesting landmark on his face.
eg:Kiran..first split the word into two,I got Ki"ran"..what a coincidence,this man is a coward and he runs away on demanding situations...so whenever his face pops up I remember his name from the way he behaves...similarly you can try with other features as well
try it out it is very interesting

that was a long break!!
Friends I did not expect my break to be that long!!!!Maybe my memory was lying in a dormant state(I forgot to write a post to my blog!)...That was very poor as far as my memory is concerned.But I cannot be blamed fully for it as I was very very busy with....(better not say!).
Ok friends lets start the topic once again and keep it lively.For that I need some suggestions from all those who are reading these posts.With u'r encouragement I am sure,I will be able to write better posts.
What should my next post be about???memory disorders or some memory tipsss???

Association
Association has a greatest role in memorizing things,instances or anything like that.
From my personal experience i have found out that it is very true.
We learn a new idea by associating that idea with an old idea that we have earlier learned.If a child learns a new word eg:apple he first associates the apple with the color red,whenever he thinks of apple something red comes to his mind.
We can apply this principle while learning also.
1.Remembering names
A good number of people have difficulty in remembering names.This problem can be solved very easily,associate associate associate....
Associate his/her facial appearance to something very funny or worth remembering so that whenever you think of that person,that funny incident will come to your mind...
2.Remembering grocery lists
Make some funny association between 1st object and 2nd object,2nd and 3rd and so on...now try to remember everything in sequence,it will work out sure
eg:ginger,fish,milk,onion,rice
make some funny association like this:
A fish looking like a ginger with soily scales all over the body to clean its body the shopkeeper is pouring some milk over it(instead of using water!!!)accidentally he gets into a heap of onion and begins crying at that same instance rice begins falling from the roof making a very funny scene.

Memory Principles
Making an Effort to Remember
1.Interest In order to remember something thoroughly, you must be interested in it. You must have a reason to learn it.
2.Intent to remember
A key factor to remembering is having a positive attitude that you will remember.You should have the attitude that you will learn this now,not wait until later.
3.Basic Background
Your understanding of new materials depends to a great degree on how much you already know about the subject. The more you increase your basic knowledge, the easier it is to build new knowledge on this background.
Controlling the Amount and Form
1.Selectivity
You must determine what is most important and select those parts to study and learn.
Here are some tips in choosing what's important.
a.Look for clues when reading a textbook assignment.Study the summary and review questions before and after you read.
b.During a lecture, listen for verbal clues such as emphasis and repetition. Pay attention to non-verbal clues such as the lecturer's body language
c.Constantly ask yourself,"If I were giving a test on this material, what would I ask?"
2.Meaningful Organization
You can learn and remember better if you can group ideas into some sort of meaningful categories or groups.
We usually remember only five to seven items as a time.If you can organize 25 items into five groups of five you will find it much easier to manage.
Here are some tips when the categories are not obvious.
a.Search the information for something that is personally meaningful to you.
b.Alphabetize the list.
c.Use a mnemonic device. Take the first letter of each item and spell a word or make a sentence. For example to remember the 7 colors of rainbow,use VIBGYOR.
d.If at all possible, do not have more than seven items in any one category.
Strengthening Neural Connections
1.Recitation Saying ideas aloud in your own words is probably the most powerful tool you have to transfer information from short-term to long-term memory.
Recitation works for several reasons:
First, when you know you are going to recite something in your own words, you pay more attention. It forces you to employ the principle of intent to remember.
Second, you get immediate feedback. You know if you are able to explain something in your own words out loud. You understand it.
Third, when you hear something, you have used an entirely different part of the brain.
2.Mental Visualization
Another powerful memory principle is making a mental picture of what needs to be remembered. By visualizing, you use an entirely different part of the brain than you did by reading or listening.
3.Association
Memory is increased when facts to be learned are associated with something familiar to you.
By recalling something you already know and making a link to the "brain file" that contains that information, you should be able to remember new information more efficiently.
Giving Time For Connections to Set
1.Consolidation Your brain must have time for new information to soak in. When you make a list or review your notes right after class, you are using the principle of consolidation.
a.Taking notes in class
b.Asking questions in class
c.Reviewing Notes
d.Stopping after each paragraph you read and writing a question in the margin which identifies what the paragraph is about
e.Visualizing
f.Reciting
g.Designing practice tests
2.Distributed Practice
A series of shorter study sessions distributed over several days is preferable to fewer but longer study sessions.
a.Take 10 minute breaks after each hour of study and review what you just learned before you begin again
b.Have a scheduled time to study each subject.
c.Make use of daylight hours and time that you normally waste.
d.Mark each paragraph of your text book with a question or label.(This way you can read bits and pieces and put them together when you've finished.)
e.Study immediately before and after classes .

Relevent anatomy
Brain is concerned with all types of memory and memory related problems
Our brain is divided into cerebrum,cerebellum,medulla and pons.
Out of these parts only cerebrum is associated with memory.
The cerebrum has two hemispheres right and the left connected by corpus callosum .
The right part of the brain controlls the left part of the body and vice versa.
Right and the left hemispheres have their own functions which can be co-ordinated by the information super highway, corpus callosum

Inroduction
I was more than astonished when i saw our pre exam counsellor remembered a set of 100 words without much effort.I was desperate to learn how he did it...I stacked books and surfed net regularly to get to his level...
At last it paid off and now I am sure i can remember much more than those 100 words...I can remember phone numbers,years of historic events and also perform some marvellous feats with cards.
I share my ideas here...Please leave some comments and share your ideas about the topic.
