By Johnie K. Parr


The main booster when you are trying to improve your memory is to remember that you only have to work on what you already have. It is not that your brain is faulty or doesn't work.

First, your brain needs to be trained to associate facts and figures, like a password for example, with a visual image. That takes specific instruction and practice to make it a habit, but let's suppose you and your brain are properly trained.
