Well, i have been thinking a lot lately that I need to improve my outlook on life, and be the best I can be, and achieve the most i can achieve. I am following Bo Bennett's book, "Year to Success" day by day, as well as reading other inspiring books, and here is where i will go about talking about them. In the book, it takes you day by day, for 366 days, inspiring and motivating you to live your dreams, and that nothing is unattainable. I have never been a reader, but now is the time. I am in college, and its now or never. This is the start of my life. This is the time of my life. And this next year, will not only be my year to success, but the start of my Years of Success.


(and day 6&7 of the weeks are reflection times, so dont think i am not posting things)

Day 2, Remembering and Using Peoples Names

The secret of a good memory is attention, and attention to a subject depends upon our interest in it. We rarely forget that which has made a deep impression on our  minds.

Okay, so this is probably one of the hardest things for me. While at college, I meet new people every single day, and rarely do i remember their names. So this is very informative and helpful. What the book talks about is using different techniques to remember names. Whether it is associating them with an object or someone else you know with their name, or remembering a certain feature about that person. It means a lot to a person if you remember their name. So my new goal is to implement these strategies and try and remember every person i meets name!
