8 ELEMENTS OF SUPER-MEMORY
Write for change, not just for the sake of
writing
One of our elements or written values is social realism. Social Realistic Writing is conducted for the purpose of influencing society and the broad masses for empowerment
and inspiration. However, it is important for words in such literature to be impactful
on the populous and in some cases memorable. If you stay up and entire night and
ponder or think why people are not improving themselves or becoming more revolutionary, then you need to improve your tactics on having social realistic writing. Remember that the best ideas come from pondering and thinking not celebration. Consider, how Marx discovered Dialectical Materialism by combining the works of Dialectics and Materialism. This is why we need to study words and persuasion and how it
could be useful in fiction and non-fiction. In this particular pamphlet, I take a look at
Adam Khoo(Singaporean capitalists) theory of 8 Elements of Super-memory.

1)Visualisation: It is important for social realistic literature to involve elements of

imagery. Revolutionaries such as Bhagat Singh often used Theatrics or acting in his
group to help elaborate on plans. This is why it may be hard to remember quotes from
The Communist Manifesto or The Poverty of Philosophy by Karl Marx. However,
it is fairly easy to remember or comprehend What Is Communism? by Engels because it requires to use more of your visualising side. The human mind thinks in pictures. Hence, words are not as impactful to readers as images. This is because your
brain operates from two sides, the right and the left side. One side is focused more on
logic and the other side is focused much more on creative and visual side. The more
part of your brain you use the more you can remember certain things. When writing
fictional books and authors, authors may choose to use a lot of imagery, smilies and
metaphors, in order to encourage the reader to stretch the readers imagination.
Preferably, such metaphors should be used in reference to something which the reader
is familiar with. I have learnt that using written metaphors and similes may be very
hard and hence I use the plot and actions themselves as metaphors and educational
tools. Simile and metaphors may also be used in moderation to appeal to the visual
side.

2)Humour: The human mind is proven to remember facts or opinions which appear
to be more humorous. We tried to used a lot of humour within our written values
manifesto, our short stories and play, to allow the words containing in them to be
more memorable. However, focusing too much on the humour can distract you from
your writing. Learning to be humorous however organised is a skill that you have to
learn and currently something Im still trying to find a balance for. Find a way to be
humorous and organised at the same time. This is a challenge. However, should be
considered. Due to this, it may be important to add humour into fiction and non-fictional writings in order to make it more social realistic.
See how much more easier it is to remember the painting Driving God by A.ADeika
compared to Hydroplanes.

3) Rhythm: Rhythm is important in order to increase the likeliness of a person remembering and comprehending a particular piece of fact. This is probably why songs
on the radio are much easier to remember in comparison with school notes. Hence, it
is important to input rhythm into our writings. This may be created by rapping it over
a beat such as a rap piece, or simplifying summaries of notes as a simple rhyme. How
come you still remember the A, b, c song for over 20 or more easy however find it hard
to remember to complete a manifesto or tasks?

4) Wholism: Wholism is the ability of a particular text to illustrate the concept as a

whole. A writer may brainstorm before writing in order to explore as many branches of
a concept as possible. For example, if a person was trying to study The Poverty of
Philosophy or Thesis on Feuberbach. I based my short story, The Unfinished
Journey, on the words present within the Thesis on Feuberbach in which I tried
to in the best way possible illustrate in an informal way concepts that were present in
the book as they applied in our modern lives. My focus was more on the conclusions
that I receive from the expansion of some of the key concepts. Personally, speaking
through this I was able to personalize my reading of the thesis and I was able to convert that musing into more of a personal inspiration. I tried my best to think over the
conclusions that I could receive. I was too tired and sick of rhethorical analysis(as I
already did that for the Communist Manifesto) which later developed into the play
Behind Enemy Lines. However, I should have done a mind-map or a brainstorm of
the book in order to provide me with better insight into the concepts of realism and
materialism present in the musing by Marx. You could also publish or write up a musing to help you spew your ideas to ensure that you can be more organized when writing an article or a short story.

5) Associaton: A chain of dierent information are easier to remember compared to

isolated pieces of information. Rumis poetry is very easy to remember and recite because it flows through and links very well. It takes a person ages to read The Communist Manifesto however much less time to read What is Communism? by Engels although Engels includes much more information and if we are taking about pages
than What is Communism? is much more longer than the The Communist Manifesto. The simple writing trick that Engels uses is causation, or the relating of one
concept to another. The comrephending abilities of the reader increases as the reader
is more interested. In fictional literature, we may look at how I used the coee spilling
scene in Chapter 4 Starbucks of my short story The Unfinised Jouney.

6) Outstanding: We are more likely to be interested or remember things which are

crazy or unheard of. If you go to Yahoo or other news channels you tend to constantly
be distracted or procrastinate. Have you ever wondered why. Its because of the extremity of the headlines such as Breaking News: Justin Bieber Murdered an Elephant
or Photo Leek-Kardashians Bathroom photos. In a similar way, Aristotle was known
for slapping his students in order to make them remember what he said. This doesnt
mean that you go around slapping members in order to help them remember to do
tasks or slap someone before asking them to read your text. However, it is important
to include some Brechtian or out of the ordinary elements in your short story or play
or your writing. Consider the scene in which people hump the ground in Chapter 3
The Alien Trick in my short story The Unfinished Journey,.
7) Color: Making your texts of a certain colour or changing colours every now and
then allows for the reader to remember or comprehend more of what you write. This
may be done by changing the colour of your text every paragraph. When trying to read
or take notes for a fairly boring text such as The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx.
A proactive reader may copy all of the text from the book into a word processing document and make the text more ergonomic or in other words change the format of the
book to this or her advantage. This may be done in order to increase the speed of
reading and/or comprehension.
8) 5 Senses: The human mind can also judge senses. The more sensual your writing
may be, the more the reader can remember or is able to comprehend what you write.
However, too much of such imagery should be avoided. If this is done in a formal way
I find that the meaning becomes dissolved. Due to this, it may hard to really to cut
trough to the audience. Although , undoubtfully the people are the most important
people in the world. Sensual imagery should be used in a way that they are understandable by the broad masses. The main aim should not be to glorify yourself or build
a higher reputation. It should be to reach the road masses about your ideas or to understand yourself
