is a word for memory tool mnemonics are
techniques for remembering information
that is otherwise quite difficult to
recall the word mnemonics has its
origins in ancient Greek mythology a
goddess named namaz nee was one of the
most powerful goddess of her time
because she was the goddess of memory
just try to imagine life without memory
particularly back in the day when all
stories and events survived only through
her oral transmission and you’ll begin
to understand namaz nice great gift and
importance to the world together with
Zeus the ruler of the Titan world they
had nine children the muses of the Arts
these muses inspired creativity in many
artistic areas including comedy dance
and poetry people wonder whether
creative people summoned their own
creative thoughts or if their source of
creativity is from one of the children
of the Monza knee but in any case one
thing is for sure without memory there’d
be no art all our is imitated from
something in real life and we cannot
remember something from real life unless
they’ve seen it memorize it and then
reproduce it in August 2017 I was
selected to be contestant on an NBC show
called genius jr. the ability to
memorize was essential for success two
of my many challenges were to memorize
all the stocks on the London Underground
tube and to memorize the blueprint of
all the different rooms on the RMS
Titanic without mnemonics I would have
been sunk pun intended
for example I had to know from the
chef’s office portside traveling towards
the front of the ship the next room I
would pass would be the first-class
pantry scullery then I had to trace the
same route backwards
learning the twists and turns about the
London tube and the Titanic strengthens
the brain’s ability to navigate the path
of the neurons and transmitters in the
brain as themselves twist and turn and
learning the topography of complicated
physical systems but backwards and
forwards I learned firsthand that what
the researchers say is true the brain is
dynamic not static and then exercising
its capacity for memory will strengthen
one’s ability to learn and retain
information as a student I regularly
exercise my brain’s capacity for memory
as a third grader I mastered the
multiplication tables necessary for
success in higher mathematics and as a
fourth grader I will be required to
memorize the capitals of all 50 states
but more importantly an adult with great
memory skills who I will be one day has
the capacity to give art to the world
whether we have the goddess namaz need
to thank for our creative talents or
whether creativity it comes from our own
inner thoughts it is memory of all
things seen or heard that is the
catalyst for all art on earth by the way
I use mnemonics to spell challenging
words both backwards and forwards here
is one of my all-time favorites at boot
olap nut cantaloupe backwards of course
thank you very much [Applause]
