ART OF REMEMBERING.

Written by OSORO P. J. NYAWANGAH


(Is your remembering capacity fails you? Because of our squeezed daily timetable, thriving for life; people’s minds are always too clogged to think properly thus making their remembering capacity go down you know why? My friend Charles has been searching in vain for almost sixty minutes, trying to findrepparttar bunch of this office keys. He has forgotten where he put it last night and yet this is notrepparttar 115787 first time he meetrepparttar 115788 problem. It dawned to him that his remembering capacity has gone down. He couldn’t find keys and hadn’trepparttar 115789 slightest idea where he placed them. He searched his bedroom,repparttar 115790 living room, and evenrepparttar 115791 kitchen has been turned upside-down! Have you ever found you self inrepparttar 115792 embarrassing situation ofrepparttar 115793 like? Where some one’s names escape your memory just as you are forgotten a friend’s name you are about to introduce to your fiancée? Are you afraid that you might be suffering from memory lapses? If thus, you are not alone at that1 thousands of people go throughrepparttar 115794 same experience every minute. According to biology study, memory (power of remembering) is not a little file cabinet in your brain that you can open at a desired time you wish and pick whatever you want easily. It’s a whole series of more complicated mental process. Think of it as SCAFFOLD (putting up structure for workmen to stand on while building walls) sorepparttar 115795 more scaffolding is built up in a given knowledge are,repparttar 115796 more places there are to put things. It is more successful to store information by writing of telling other people about it, because memory tends to retrieve things relevant to a current situation and to filter out any confusing information. That is why you may not rememberrepparttar 115797 name of an office mate when you run into her at a market place. When you know a lot about something you are able to make connections an average person finds impossible to make. This is according to scientists who term it as CHUNKING. Pulling stored information chunks rely on external cues

Does Growing Old Scare You?

Written by Jan Tincher


Does growing old scare you? So much that you hate even talking about growing old?

Do you have a vision of nursing homes and loss of control and being dependent on your children when they should be enjoying their lives, not taking care of you?

Well, here's a question: What are your role models? Evidently not someone who looks good and feels good, no matter how old they are or what life throws at him or her.

Would you like to change? Just think about it for a moment.

All I'm suggesting is that maybe you are looking inrepparttar wrong places. Maybe you are acquainted with nursing homes filled with people who are just like you think you will be. Maybe you are listening to others talk about their aches and pains and how it only gets worse.

Do you see an *age spot* and get panicky?

Well, heck. Maybe all this is good -- maybe it's a wake-up call. Maybe now isrepparttar 115786 time to figure out how you can make your older years happier years. Because let's face it. You're probably going to be around for a long time. Why not take control now so your coming years will be worth growing into.

How about doing this? Refuse to look at people *stuck* away in nursing homes.

Now, wait a minute before you think that is heartless. Here is what I mean. Refuse to look at people *stuck* away in nursing homes AS THEY ARE.

See that person over there sitting by himself, talking to himself? When you look at him, why not refuse to see him as he appears. Instead, seerepparttar 115787 inside of this person -- and that's who you go over and talk to. You know why? Because what goes around, comes around. If you don't takerepparttar 115788 time to make this person happy, who will takerepparttar 115789 time to make you happy?

Here's an important question: If you don't try with others now, why would anyone try with you later?

If you don't take time to help others now, that isrepparttar 115790 seed you will be planting for your later years. Don't do that. Decide now to keep your mind busy with how you can help others help themselves now -- not onrepparttar 115791 future you are attracting by thinking of how you will be.

Remember this forever. You grow into what you are thinking now.
