Six Quick Steps to Memorizing a Speech

Whether you like it or not, you will need to present a speech in front of many people at one point in your life. This can be very challenging especially when you're not used to memorizing huge blocks of text. Even veteran presenters may find it hard to memorize and present long speeches in details because our brains are not generally wired to memorizing text. Our brains are wired to understand concepts and recall images and the images in between them. Nonetheless, there a few techniques that you can observe in order to present well in front of a large audience.

Use key images - This is better than memorizing your speech up to the T. Visualize your whole speech and dissect it into key images. Organize these images in your mind in proper order. This will help you present anecdotes in proper sequencing with ease.

Practice with someone - A friend can help ensure that you're presenting parts of your speech in order. He can also provide suggestions on how to deliver certain parts better.

Rest or sleep before studying your speech - If you're sleep-deprived, your brain won't function well. A sound sleep or nap enables the brain to absorb information better.

Engage in activities that  promote neuroplasticity -  Sketching or taking down notes can improve your brain's ability to memorize.

Nourish your brain with the right food - Blueberries are known to slow down cognitive decline. Fish and nuts that are rich in Omega 3 help boost memory.

Take green tea - Green tea contains elements that enhance the neuroplasticity between the frontal and parietal parts of the brain.

Online Classrooms vs. Physical Classrooms

Going to school means sleepless nights for learners as they do their assignments and prepare everything they need so they won't be late for class. Everyday commute is one of the tough stuff every student needs to take care of, especially if they don't have a car of their own.

There's a huge difference when it comes to virtual and traditional education. You just need to pick which one works best for you. Both allows you to ...

On Real Books And Ebooks

I may have been a fan of the traditional book, but I cannot deny the fact that I also love to read books using my Kindle especially when I travel. This offers a lot of convenience on my end because I do not need to carry a full bag of books, I just have to bring my electronic book reader with me when I  go out. :) But when I prefer to stay at home especially during weekends and holidays, I still hold a real book. That enables me to save on electricity costs as well, since I need to charge my Ebook reader so I can use it again as opposed to the traditional book . With the real one, you can just flip the pages and not worry about grabbing the charger next to you. All you need is a well lit place so you can read the contents. What about you? Which would you prefer? A real book or an electronic one?
