You Can Have An Amazing Memory: Learn Life-changing Techniques and Tips from the Memory Maestro - PDF
نویسندگان: Dominic O'Brien خلاصه: As a child I was diagnosed with dyslexia and I was told bymy form teacher at school that I would not amount to muchin life. In fact, throughout my school days, no one held outmuch hope for me. Certainly, no one entertained the thoughtthat one day I’d appear in the Guinness World Recordsbook for what others have described as a feat of staggeringbrain power, or that I’d become World MemoryChampion, not just once but eight times over! Here aresome of the comments from my school reports when I wasaged ten – they make unhappy reading:“He tends to dream in the middle of a calculation,which leads him to lose track of the thought.”“[Dominic] has not paid much attention. Appears toknow more of the Universe than the Earth.”“Terribly slow. Often cannot repeat the question.Must concentrate.”“Unless Dominic really shakes himself up and getsdown to work, he is not going to achieve any success …he is painfully slow.”Although they might sound harsh, these reports paint afairly accurate picture of my state of mind as a child. I felt asthough my brain was like a muscle that was permanentlyrelaxed. My teachers knew it, and they were endlesslyfrustrated with me. In those days, teachers weren’tgoverned by quite the same codes of conduct they aretoday, and one in particular behaved appallingly toward me– shaking me, shouting at me and generally humiliating me infront of my friends. I guess he hoped to bring me out of myapparent stupor.Needless to say, I became highly stressed about going toschool. In fact, I was completely terrified. By the age of 11,I hated it, but not only that – I was also emptied of all self-esteem. I regret to say that walking out through the schoolgates at the earliest possible opportunity felt (at the time, atleast) like one of the happiest days of my life.Almost 15 years later, I taught myself to memorize adeck of cards. I can’t describe to you how that felt – notonly had I achieved an amazing feat of mental agility, I hadalso made a symbolic conquest. I had kicked back at all themistreatment, negativity and bad reports I’d received in myyouth. I suddenly realized that perhaps I wasn’t destined tobe the low achiever everyone had expected, after all. Ithought that if I could master a deck of cards, what else wasI capable of accomplishing? Slowly, with every newindication that I could build myself an amazing memory, Ibegan to gain self-confidence and self-belief and a world ofopportunities opened up before me.Now, my rather flaccid memory muscle of yesteryear hasbeen seriously put through its paces. A strict regime ofmemory training over the course of 25 years has turned itinto something that is beautifully toned and of which I amimmensely proud. What a pity that I didn’t discover andpractise the art of memory when I was at school!In this book I want to show you how you can train yourmemory not only to make it perform mental acrobatics thelike of which you’ve never thought yourself capable of, butalso to give you a massive boost in confidence, just as Ihave had. When you get a glimpse of what potential lieswithin your memory, you’ll soon realize that that potential isapplicable to other aspects of your brain power, too – fromyour powers of concentration and your ability to think onyour feet (your “fluid intelligence”) to your confidence as anarrator or speaker and even your ability to be thrown intoa gathering of people you don’t know and work the roomlike it’s exactly where you belong.By taking you along the path of my own journey ofdiscovery, mapping the routes and byways that brought meto where I am – and who I am – today, I hope I can giveyou the tools to find your own amazing memory. And I hopeyou enjoy the ride j

$700 Billion Bailout: The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act and What It Means to You, Your Money, Your Mortgage and Your Taxes - PDF
$700 Billion Bailout: The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act and What It Means to You, Your Money, Your Mortgage and Your Taxes - PDF
نویسندگان: Paul Muolo خلاصه: The book is an analysis of the controversial Emergency Economic Stabilization Act and explains in easy to understand language what the bailout bill means for individuals. $700 Billion Bailout answers questions such as:What does the bill say, exactly?Who is making decisions about how the $700 billion will be spent, and what does it mean now that the government is investing directly in our banks?Who’s footing the bill?What is the impact on homeowners, businesses, retirement, and taxes?Where do I put my money in the meantime?Veteran reporter Paul Muolo shows both the challenges and opportunities of the credit crisis and proposed bailout, including its impact on:Mortgages: While rates may be lower, there will be more fees imposed on mortgages. Lenders will be far more cautious in lending, and people who cannot meet their mortgages are likely to lose these homes. This may create a “contrarian” plays in foreclosures and vacation homes..Stocks and Other Investments: Is now the time to get into the stock market or is it safer to stick with CDs, bonds, and gold?Taxes: With the tax breaks, there will be less tax revenue leading to a huge shortfall to the government over the next few years.He will offer insight into these areas and many others, including how the structure of the bailout bill allows for unprecedented authority that has altered the financial landscape, perhaps permanently. Will the plan work, and how we can prevent this from happening again remains to be seen, but with $700 Billion Bailout Paul Muolo gives us a critical tool for deciphering perhaps the most sweeping piece of legislation since the Patriot Act.
