remember this picture and the name connected with it much

                       better.


                         A few examples:



                                  You just met Caroline. Imagine her wearing a big,

                                  colorful  necklace  of  coral  beads.  These  corals  are
                                  heavy,  have  a  strange  shape  and  bright  colors.  She

                                  bought this necklace in South Carolina.


                                  You  just  met  Adam.  Imagine  him  dressed  as  a

                                  dignified lady. She wears a long and beautiful dress
                                  and has a fan in her hand, which she uses for cooling

                                  herself. Now that it’s not Adam, you should address

                                  him madam!


                                  Kenny. You just checked your pockets and you have
                                  no cash! You ask Kenny to lend you a penny, so you

                                  can grab a nice cold beer together.


                                  Ann.  Imagine  Ann  dressed  as  a  police  officer  and

                                  holding a gun. She has an oversized police hat on her
                                  head  and  a  scared  robber  handcuffed  to  her  wrist.

                                  Ann and her big gun.



                         As you can see, it’s pretty simple. Anyone can create such

                       funny or silly associations in a few seconds. When you do this,
                       keep the created image in your head for a few moments.

                       Now if you have to remind yourself of a particular name, the

                       association will come immediately to your mind.


                         Note  that  you  can  create  specific  associations  with  many

                       names. Then, for example, when you meet another Caroline,
                       you will already know which image to use, without a need to

                       create a new one each time. I believe that this is a great idea,
