A Better Memory Just Takes a Little Imagination

Source: Ultimate Memory

You've probably heard the joke about the man who was offered a million dollars – all he had to do was to not think about a pink camel.

Naturally, he didn't win, because as soon as he heard those words, the image of a pink camel popped into his head. And now it's in your head too, isn't it?

Our brains take the words we hear, and even the words we think, and process them using all of the other areas of the brain as well, including those that focus primarily on vision, touch, and smell.
