Techniques you can use to memorize important information

The following are examples of techniques you can use to memorize important information.

When to Use It:	Technique:	Example:
For information involving key words	Acronym - an invented combination of letters with each letter acting as a cue to an idea you need to remember.	BRASS is an acronym for how to shoot a rifle-- Breath, Relax, Aim, Sight, Squeeze.
For information involving key words	Acrostic - an invented sentence where the first letter of each word is a cue to an idea you need to remember.	EVERY GOOD BOY DESERVES FUN is an acrostic to remember the order of the G-clef notes on sheet music-- E,G,B,D,F.
For ordered or unordered lists	Rhyme-Keys - a 2-step memory process: Memorize key words that can be associated with numbers (one-bun); Create an image of the items you need to remember with key words. (A bun with cheese on it will remind me of dairy products.)	Food groups: Dairy products: one-bun-cheese on a bun. Meat, fish, and poultry: two-shoe-livestock with shoes. Grains: three-tree-sack of grain hanging from tree. Fruit and vegetables: four-door- opening a door and walking into a room stocked with fruits and vegetables.
For approximately twenty items	Loci Method- Imagine placing the items you want to remember in specific locations in a room with which you are familiar.	To remember presidents: Place a dollar bill (George Washington) on the door. Walk into the room and see Jefferson reclining on a sofa and Nixon eating out of the refrigerator.
For foreign language vocabulary	Keyword Method- Select the foreign words you need to remember, then identify an English word that sounds like the foreign one. Now imagine an image that involves the key word with the English meaning of the foreign word.	In Spanish, the word "cabina" means phone booth. Invent an image of a cab trying to fit in a phone booth. When you see the word "cabina," you should be able to recall this image and thereby retrieve the meaning "phone booth."
For remembering names	Image-Name Technique- invent a relationship between the name and the physical characteristics of the person.	Shirley Temple - her curly (rhymes with "Shirley") hair around her temples.
For ordered or unordered lists	Chaining- Create a story where each word or idea you have to remember will cue the next idea you need to recall.	Napoleon, ear, door, Germany Story: Napoleon had his ear to the door to listen to the Germans in his beer cellar.

The Daily Star Award Presentation Ceremony

 Amidst a crowd of hundreds sat in their own corner, the students of International Turkish Hope School (ITHS), satisfaction in their heart, confidence oozing out of their very being, and a sense of unity as they sat not simply as students, but as brothers and sisters. The very air around them seemed to be different; the aura of pride almost seemed tangible. The reason behind such happiness, such delight in the souls of this young generation? Three words best describe the reason. Daily Star Awards.

The huge stadium seemed to be buzzing with excitement as each student took his place amongst their friends, ready to start the day to which they have been looking forward to since the night their results came out. But, do not be misled, as the excitement was not only felt by the students but the parents, siblings, uncles, teachers, friends and many others as they took their seat in the audience, their heart filled with as much, if not more joy than the student himself.

Perhaps the most memorable moment of the day was when Tamim Iqbal, the legend, came to the ceremony to motivate the Nation Builders of tomorrow. This was not a small gesture, as his very presence seemed to fill the entire stadium with such energy and inspiration, and not a single word of his was missed by the hungry ears of the large audience.
Though the departure of Tamim brought many a sad sighs from the crowd, none can say that the rest of the program was any less inspiring. The cultural program that followed brought a smile even to the most cynical as students, some of age around fourteen, sang and danced.

However, the award-giving part was perhaps the part most students and their guardian were looking forward to, International Turkish Hope School (ITHS) students perhaps more than other. Out of fifty-one O’Level IGCSE candidate for the exam of May 2011, an astounding thirty of them received the prestigious award that The Daily Star provided.

 But, that is not where the glory of the ITHS students end. Out of the very few exceptional students who achieved the highest mark in the country, three were from ITHS. Rezwan Siddiquee, achieved such a feat in Human Biology, while Farhana Islam Farha and Rubaiyat Bin Islam were awarded this in Pure Mathematics. And that is not all. Amongst the truly brilliant and rare ten, who achieved the highest in the entire world in June 2011, a further three were from ITHS as well. Farhana Islam Farha proved herself to be the best in Biology, while Rubaiyat accomplished this with Turkish. And, last, but most definitely not the least, Md.Muyeedul Islam, who got the world highest in  Mathematics.

Such feats though very unique and rare, seem to be pretty common amongst the brilliant students of ITHS. Perhaps this is the reason why the noisiest claps, the unending energy, and feeling of great accomplishment all seemed to be emitting from the small corner ITHS students sat in. Each award, each word of encouragement seemed to be shared amongst the students as they sat, medals in around their neck, certificate in their hand, satisfaction in their heart, pride in their soul.

Bringing up a Child

If we want our children to be courageous, we should not frighten them with ideas of vampires, ghosts, giants, etc. We should raise them as strong individuals with a firm faith which will enable them to face up to any kind of difficulty.

We should always try to be the ideal for them, to avoid any kind of behavior which might make them feel contempt for us.

We should always try to maintain dignity and to remain elevated in their view, so that what we tell them will influence their hearts and they will not rebel against our wishes. 

A father who lacks seriousness can probably be the friend of his children; but he can never be their teacher, and he will fail to bring them up the way he wants.
