Page 33 - How to Develop A SUPER-POWER MEMORY

Interest in Memory 27
though they have poor marks in all the others. If a student
has a good memory for one subject, he is a good student in
that subject. If he can't remember, or has a poor memory
in that subject, he will be a poor student in that subject.
It's as simple as that. However, this proves that the student
does have a good memory for things that he likes, or is
interested in.
Many of you who went through High School had to take
a foreign language or two. Do you still remember these
languages? I doubt it. If you've travelled in foreign coun-
tries, or to places where they speak these particular lan-
guages, you've wished many times that you had paid more
attention in shcool. Of course, if you knew that you were
going to travel to these places, when you were in school,
you would have been interested in learning the language;
you would have wanted to do so. You'd have been amazed
to find how much better your marks would have been. I
know that this is true in my case. If I had known then that
I would want to know these languages, I'd have learned
and/or remembered much more easily. Unfortunately, I
didn't have a trained memory then.
Many women will complain that their memories are
atrocious, and that they can't remember a thing. These
same women will describe and remember in detail what a
lady friend was wearing when they met weeks ago. They
usually can spot another woman in a car travelling up to
forty miles an hour, and tell you what she's wearing; the
colors, her style of hairdo; whether the hair was natural or
bleached, and the woman's approximate age!
They'll probably even know how much money this
woman had. This, of course, goes out of the realm of mem-
ory and starts to touch on psychic powers. The important
thing, the thing that I have been trying to stress in this
chapter, is that interest is of great importance to memory.
