Mnemonic

Mnemonic is also known as the Art of Memory. Commonly met mnemonics are often verbal, something such as a very short poem or a special word used to help a person remember something, particularly lists, but may be visual, kinesthetic or auditory. Mnemonics rely on associations between easy-to-remember constructs which can be related back to the data that is to be remembered. This is based on the principle that the human mind much more easily remembers spatial, personal, surprising, sexual or humorous or otherwise meaningful information than arbitrary sequences.

Aristotle said Eureka! and so did I.

There's indefinite numbers of situations that I have encountered where judgement and impressions towards something turned into an unforeseen development and frequently , the unexpected. Even sometimes it does surprised myself and along with the surroundings. Affirmative, my life is totally constructed by EUREKA and how i manage to deal with it.

This entry made me to recall back things that passes in, out and stays in my life and how it changed me and somehow as an emotional-freak like me, it took tears to complete this entry.
Situation 1: Mom. When i was a kid, I always and frequently hated my mum, as most of the time my sister (as i consider her as my closest companion) usually will cry over my mum act on grounding her and scolding her harshly, and I would be the observer and the hater(most of the time). As years past by, and as I could comprehend things better as I could understand what is teenage rebellion, I realize that any normal parents will do this as they love their seedlings much and I LOVE MY MUM though she's not as cool as Madonna.

Situation 2: Friends. Who doesn't need friend? Only some egocentric maniac said so. A hardworking men needs someone to share his problems with, a housewives needs someone to ask for recipe's and exchanging them, a CEO needs some clicks for some golf on weekends, a jobless man needs somebody to advice him, a girl need friends for girly day out, and a teacher needs friends to gossip about their students. For me, knowing many individuals have sculpt me into what I am now, every single friend will give you various kinds of eureka as each of them differs in their own way. I used to hang around with large groups,but somehow, having large groups of friends made me realize that you have to be careful with your words or actions as it may offend them in any possible manner, and that is why nowadays i avoid to have a large groups to hang around with as somehow they will misunderstood my ways. Personally, i refused to hang around with a group, a gang or a pack and i can't even comprehend how do people stand to be around with the same gang for ages, I have been there and done that and I think it is uninteresting and tiresome. Eureka! I used to think by having the same 'gang, or 'pack' to hang around with is cool, but it's not! I'd rather choose to mingle than to stuck with the same person with the same personality since yesteryears.

Situation 3: Love. I used to view love as something beautiful and will always come with its super happy feelings that will cheered you, even you can put on a smile as you were sleeping. We were influenced by those love songs and stupid love story and those fake views literally sprung myself at the window. As i experienced it, it is not that sweet, and certainly it is not that enjoyable. It hurts and at some point it will make you feel as useless as heck. This is not a confessions of a broken-hearted, it is a view from someone who changed her life to love and will sacrifice anything to feel hurt again.

Situation 4: People here and there. People or an individual always or will do judge each other before they get to know them. It is a good thing actually, when you judge a person or you spread some impressions inside your thoughts, you may surprised yourself as you get to know them. Either in a good way or the opposite. The eureka that you've experienced will smash your initial thoughts into smithereens. For example, when you judge someone as snobbish or an arrogant horse, as you get to know them, sometimes you'll realize that they are just being coy.

Eureka, is actually a life-long teacher, it teaches you valuable things in life, it divert your thoughts, it changed your feelings, and absolutely it will change your life. It will lead you on becoming a great individual for years to come. Sometimes not all eureka will end up in a positive manner, there might be the negative ones but do not fade, do not give up, learn from it, and you'll amazed how it may effects you. The foremost important, think wisely and do not detached your body from your brain and your soul.
