Tuesday Memory Tricks


   One of the most common tricks that people use, I think, are graphs.  Graphs help one categorize
 thoughts in a way that you can remember them.  When I think of graphs, I mean actually writing down words to help memorize better.  Sometimes I like to turn a piece of paper sideways and make three columns.  I then will try to summarize the basic subject of what I am trying to memorize. l It is more difficult to study like this but the end results come out better for me.
     Each person has their own way of memorizing and learning.  These are just a few that have helped me along the way.  Another technique is to read the words out loud so that your brain can be more focused on one subject than many at a time.  I get distracted more easily than some so I have tried many things to help manage my study habits.  Even though it is easy to become disheartened  I am not ashamed in the least. 
     If anything, having 22q has made me much stronger than I would have without the syndrome. Throughout the long process, I have had more time to think of ways to help myself and others. I want to stay strong and fight the battle.  Everyone has their own struggles, this just happens to be mine.  I am not handicapped or disabled.  However, it is marching to the beat of my own drum  that has lead me where I am today.
     Like mentioned before,  it gets difficult at times, but categorizing my thoughts as I study has really helped me retain more information.  There are so much more techniques, but using a planner, setting a goal, and developing some form of overview of the lesson or subject has really helped me most.  There are others and I would like to talk about as many as possible in order to help someone else succeed.
     Many struggle in different ways but it is up to you to be a light in the darkness.  It much easier to help someone than to knock them down.  I choose to be a help and to pass along what I have learned.
I do not want to keep hidden under a rock just because I learn a little differently.  However, being neat, getting to the point and keeping things categorize helps anyone's life flow a little easier.

Terrific Tuesday

2 Peter 1King James Version (KJV) 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall n...

Terrific Tuesday

The Priority Principal Priority according to dictionary.com  means  the right to take precedence in obtaining certain supplies, services, facilities, etc., especially during a shortage. In life, we all must set priorities.  Not only must we set priorities, we must decide which priorities" will help us succeed.  Making lists help me tackle tasks but they also help me visualize my priorities. “A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.” ― Walt Whitman Establish a base point and determine what your strengths and weaknesses are.  Don't compare to others,  God gave us each a special" light to shine....we need to shine it. Once picking the top priorites,  keep your focus on those priorites and the others will fall in place.
