HOW TO REMEMBER NAMES?

Remembering names of hundreds of acquaintances, colleagues, friends, relatives and associates is a great challenge for most of us.

And recalling individuals by name or surname can be even more daunting if you are a public figure or you happen to deal with hundreds of people from different walks of life. That’s because memorizing each and every face and their respective identities is impossible as they come one after another. Even if they don’t come together, a volley of names can never be registered in your brain.

Thus, here we are suggesting a simple trick that would solve our problem of face and identity recognition. This may be an informal way of memorizing names, but it really works. And not every hurdle of life has a formal solution – so we can develop our convenient ways of overcoming these obstacles.

IDENTIFICATION TECHNIQUE

We are not prescribing any memorization like that of a school kid, where the child has to learn all lessons by heart. Rather, our solution is an identification technique that would recognize the face of a third person as a mirror of the individual in question for a permanent storage in memory.

Say you meet a man called Harish – immediately start thinking of anybody you personally know or one who is a public figure by the name Harish. Then identify and link that face to the person you have just been introduced to. So every time you think of this man, immediately the image of the other person with the same name crops up before your eyes. This relationship that you draw in your mind is the key to remembering that person forever.

WHY IT WORKS

The fact remains that it is easier to remember faces than names. For instance, one can recollect the facial images of people for decades, but you can hardly recollect their identities after a few hours or even immediately. This is where using the image of a third person enables one to identify the other person by name and make it a permanent storage in human memory.

Face and name recognition are crucial attributes for everyone to smoothly navigate through personal and professional spheres. This is undeniable – and our identification technique would surely solve your challenge.
