to ask you an easy question raise your

hands if you think you have a bad memory

ah a lot more hands going up right now

and what about the rest of you did not

raise the hands

you forgot to raise your hand

well here's the good news it really

doesn't matter whether you think you

have a good memory or not because it's a

fact that you can train your brain to

remember better to learn faster and to

achieve mastery in anything you want in

your life

and i'd like to show you something

really interesting here which actually

demonstrates to you what you can do if

you train your brain now i would request

have a volunteer to please come here and

demonstration of what anyone can do now

that's just a 30 digit number we'll come

back whenever some of you are wondering

you know how i memorize these numbers

i'll come back and explain to you how i

did it now one of my records is i

memorized a number consisting of

1944 digits it looks something like that

i memorized a deck of playing cards in

less than two minutes i also memorized a

deck of seven decks of playing cards in

60 minutes so for those of you who are

thinking of taking me to the casino i'm

available

or you can talk about the negotiation

later on and also i became a grandmaster

of memory many years ago and also broke

a guinness record in memorizing the

longest sequence of colors

now it is true that i broke a guinness

record in memory it was also true that

many years ago i used to hold a world

record in forgetting

it's not official if you ask my mom and

dad they'll tell you i had a lousy

memory in fact i still remember one of

those days when my 15 years old i my mom

asked me to buy something from the shop

i got onto my bicycle went to the shop

parked my bicycle went into the shop and

as i was going into the shop i totally

forgot i went there on a bicycle

walked out of the shop and started

walking back home and the most

embarrassing thing was i realized i left

my bicycle only the next day now for

those of you wondering what happened to

the bicycle well you guessed it i lost

it

so i had a lousy memory i went from a

person with a lousy memory to breaking a

guinness record and the good news is

anyone can train their memory anyone can

become a fast learner because today i'm
