Raise your hand if you think you have a fantastic memory.

Okay, I can see a couple of hands raising, so let me make it easy for you.

I'm going to ask you an easy question.

Raise your hands if you think you have a bad memory.

ah a lot more hands going up right now and what about the rest of you did not raise the hands

You forgot to raise your hand.

Well, here's the good news.

It really doesn't matter whether you think you have a good memory or not.

because it's a fact that you can train your brain to remember better,

to learn faster, and to achieve mastery in anything you want in your life.

And I'd like to show you something really interesting here, which actually demonstrates to you what you can do if you train your brain.

Now, I would request to any five of you, any five people, can I volunteer to please come here and write something on the flip chart.

Okay, I promise you, you don't have to remember anything.

So that's a good thing, yeah?

Okay, so we've got one more person, one more person. So come on.

Just one more person, I want one more person to come up.

Yes sir, please come.

Okay, anyone?

All right, so we've got five.

A big round of applause for all of them here.

Thank you very much for volunteering.

Okay. So, um...

This is what's going to happen.

So I think you can start the nearest to the flip chart.

So all you need to do is-- I'll just open it for you.

Yeah.

All you need to do is to write a six -digit number on this flip chart, write it a little big, so everyone in the audience can see.

So one line, a six digit number.

And after you've done this, please pass the marker to the next person.

You write the six digits, six digits, six digits, and sir, is it okay if you stay back after you've written on your digit?

Because I need a little bit more help from you.

Okay, good?

Okay, perfect.

So I am going to go behind the flip chart.

because I'm not going to look at these numbers for the next few minutes.

Thank you.

All good so far?

Okay, good. So...

No, you also need to write a six digits, a random number.

Thank you.

Alright, so if everything went well, you should be having a 30 digit number on the flip chart, is that correct?

Okay, big round of applause for everyone.

Thank you very much and please have a seat.

Have a seat.

Except you.

Can I know your name please?

Angelo.

So Angelo is here.

Big round of applause for Angelo because he's going to help people with more things.

Okay, now what's going to happen is I'm going to stand behind the flip chart, and Angelo if you don't mind, Can you please call these numbers to me out loud one by one?

Yes, sir, go ahead.

Right?

- Seven.

122

We're going to give an applause for Angelo here.

123

Perfect.

124

Thank you.

125

All right.

126

So, of course, you're expecting me to do something, which is true.

127

So, what's going to happen is I'll try to recall these numbers from my memory and let's see how it goes.

128

The numbers are 7 7 1 7...

129

Okay, I messed up.

130

Let's start again.

131

So it's 7 7 7 1 2 0 4 8 6

132

7 3 2 0 3 0 7 7 3 1 9 8 2 2 5.

133

Okay, wait, it's 8 2.

134

After That should be, it's 9,

135

5, 1, 6, 2, 5, 3, 4.

136

Thank you.

137

Okay, so...

138

What's the time right now?

139

So, what's the time right now?

140

8 :45.

141

8 :45.

142

Sometimes 8 :45 is not the right time for me.

143

I miss one or two digits.

144

Alright, so what you've seen is a demonstration of what anyone can do.

145

Now, that's just a 30 -digit number.

146

We'll come back.

147

Now, some of you are wondering how I memorized these numbers.

148

I'll come back to you and explain to you how I did it.

149

Now, one of my records is, I memorized a number consisting of 1 ,944 digits.

150

It looks something like that.

151

I memorized a deck of playing cards in less than two minutes.

152

I also memorized a deck of seven decks of playing cards in 60 minutes.

153

So for those of you who are thinking of taking me to the casino, I'm available.

154

We can talk about the negotiation later on.

155

And also I became a Grand Master of Memory many years ago, and also broke a Guinness record in memorizing the longest sequence of colors.

156

Now, it is true that I broke a Guinness record in memory.

157

It's also true that many years ago, I used to hold a world record in forgetting.

158

It's not official, if you ask my mom and dad, they'll tell you.

159

I had a lousy memory.

160

In fact, I still remember one of those days when I was 15 years old, my mom asked me to buy something from the shop.

161

I got onto my bicycle, went to the shop, parked my bicycle, went into the shop, and as I was going into the shop, I totally forgot I went there on a bicycle.

162

walked out of the shop and started walking back home.

163

And the most embarrassing thing was, I realized I left my bicycle only the next day.

164

Now for those of you wondering what happened to the bicycle?

165

Well you guessed it, I lost it.

166

So I had a lousy memory.

167

I went from a person with a lousy memory to breaking a Guinness record.

168

And the good news is anyone can train their memory, anyone can become a fast learner.

169

Because today, I'm going to show you my formula of how you can learn anything

170

and master anything in a fun, easy manner.

171

I'm gonna show you some pictures on the screen, and these are some famous people.

172

So, who is this?

173

Thank you.

174

Who's that?

175

Thank you very much.

176

And who's this?

177

And then who's this?

178

Let's have a quick interaction here.

179

Can you please find a partner?

180

The person sitting next to you by default becomes your partner.

181

Groups of two to three is fine.

182

I'll give you 10 seconds and your exercise is very simple.

183

Can you please turn to your partner and tell him or her What is common among all these people?

184

Your 10 seconds starts now.

185

Go ahead.

186

Thank you.

187

Okay, thank you very much.

188

That's about 10 seconds time.

189

Thank you very much.

190

Can I have some answers please?

191

Shout out loud.

192

What is common?

193

Billionaires.

194

Thank you.

195

What is it?

196

- Rich.

197

- Rich.

198

Of course, the rich, the billionaires, whatever else, come on.

199

- Americans.

200

- Americans, aren't they?

201

"Oh, so next time I should chain that.

202

Thanks for pointing it at it.

203

Next." - Thank you.

204

Celebrities, what else?

205

Inspirational.

206

Inspirational, that's true.

207

Now, can I also say that all these people are masters at their game.

208

Do you agree with that?

209

Well, they're masters at their games.

210

So you know, when I was a teenager growing up, when I used to read or hear about successful people and their extraordinary achievements,

211

I always used to be fascinated by their stories, and I always used to wonder, you know, what is it that makes these people very, very successful?

212

Now I'm talking about way back 1990s, and those days there was no internet.

213

And if you want to do research in 1990, what do you do?

214

- The library.

215

- You go to the library, that's exactly what I did.

216

I went to the library, I fell in love with reading books, and I used to read hours and hours, and finally, when I started reading, A lot of these books,

217

I found out the secret of success.

218

Like most of you say, I mean, they're all rich and billionaires, but then most of the common things like, you know, they're passionate, All these successful people, they are passionate, they have clear goals, they have a good purpose,

219

they are hardworking, they are committed, they are confident.

220

But one thing that many people miss out, is they all have committed to lifelong learning.

221

You name any person who has achieved extraordinary levels of success, I can tell you that that person has committed to lifelong learning.

222

They keep on learning new things on a regular basis.

223

Like Oliver Wendelholme said a long time ago, "A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions."

224

And that is the reason I say that your learning ability decides your earning capacity.

225

And that's also the reason why if you learn faster, you will stand out from everyone else.

226

If you learn faster, you can go from underpaid to overpaid.

227

And if you learn faster, you can have an unfair advantage over others.

228

So the question is, how do you learn?

229

So it all starts with input.

230

And what I mean by input?

231

Now most people, they just focus way too much on input.

232

What I mean by input is they go to seminars, they read books, they watch videos, they listen to podcasts, they follow blogs, it's input, input, input, input, and more input.

233

Well, there's nothing wrong with learning.

234

The problem is, if you have too much of input with no output, what happens is you have shallow learning.

235

That's not good.

236

What we want...

237

is not shallow learning.

238

For example, how many of you had this experience where, you know, some of your friends come to you and say, "Hey, read this book !" And then you go, "Yeah, what did you learn from this book?" And then they go,

239

"Uh, it's a good book.

240

It's a good book.

241

It's a very good book, you know?" And then you go, "Okay, I understand what it's saying, but what's the takeaway from this book for you?" And they say,

242

I tell you, you must read this book.

243

Well, what is the point of learning something if you can't implement it and benefit from this?

244

That is pure intellectual entertainment, nothing else.

245

We don't want shallow learning, we want deep learning.

246

And how do you do that?

247

We do it.

248

It's very simple.

249

For true mastery, you need to focus more on the output rather than the input.

250

You need to focus more on the output rather than the input.

251

So raise your hand if you've heard this thing before.

252

Yeah, thank you very much.

253

So use it or do it.

254

This is so true with learning.

255

When you learn something, if you don't use it, if you don't output it, You lose it.

256

So that's the reason why we should become more of an output person than input.

257

And here's my formula of how you can be a master at anything.

258

The first thing is of course, learn, which is what you already are doing.

259

Now the interesting thing is, When you are learning, you must ensure that the quality of input is really, really high.

260

You must be paying 100 % attention.

261

But the problem is when people are learning these days, what do they do?

262

They do multitasking. Because of what?

263

Because of the devices that you're actually holding right now, because of the phones that we have, people do multitasking.

264

Just imagine, when you're reading a book, when you're watching a video, you have your phone nearby.

265

And while you're reading, while you're learning, while you're understanding, and the phone message goes off, the notification goes off, what do you do?

266

Of course you attend to it.

267

When you attend to it, what happened?

268

What you just did?

269

You killed your momentum.

270

You messed up with the quality of input.

271

Now here's the thing, your quality of input determines the quality of retention.

272

how well and how long can you remember information.

273

It also affects the quality of recall.

274

That's the reason why my suggestion is, if you are learning something, at least for the time you're learning, you should be doing not multitasking, but the exact opposite of it, which is...

275

Single task.

276

Do one thing at one time, especially when it comes to learning.

277

Stay away from distractions.

278

Pay 100 % attention and then you'll be well on your way to mastery.

279

That's the first thing.

280

The second thing is, of course, is reflect.

281

Now many people are in the rush to learn new things, which is good, but the problem is you also need to do reflect.

282

What do you mean by that?

283

After you learn something, pause for a while and ask yourself, hey, what's the takeaway from this thing?

284

Thank you.

285

And how can I use this information in my life?

286

How can I use this information in my work, in my family?

287

When you pause, when you reflect, when you ask these questions, that's how learning solidifies.

288

Otherwise, it's all just wasted.

289

And after reflect, the next step is implement.

290

And this is where the magic happens.

291

And unfortunately, many people miss out on this thing.

292

What they do is they go on learning new things, they get excited, and they feel good, they feel inspired, and they go on to learn something new.

293

You just messed up.

294

Now the problem is, if you get into the habit of just learning without implementation, you know what you get?

295

You get illusion of competence.

296

You feel you've learnt it.

297

You feel you're competent.

298

But it's not competence at all because you haven't implemented it.

299

So my suggestion is, when you are learning something, stop, write down what are the few things I can take action on,

300

schedule it in the calendar and take some action because this is what one of my mentors told me, Nishant, allow the action.

301

is better than no action.

302

Do you agree with that?

303

Thank you very much.

304

And of course the last step is share.

305

Raise your hand if you heard this thing before.

306

The best way to learn something is to teach it.

307

Thank you, you all heard that, and that is so true.

308

When you learn something, just output it, just share it with other people.

309

Now if you don't know, if you don't want to teach, you could just share it, you could just discuss it, but what happens is when you share things with other people, What you're doing is you're helping your brain to pay more attention.

310

and then you will be on your path to mastery.

311

So I have not seen anyone who became a master at something just by doing the input.

312

They all became masters by doing the input and more of the output.

313

So I have a question for you.

314

When you are learning something new, how much time do you spend on learning?

315

and how much time do you spend on reflecting, on implementing, and on sharing?

316

And if you're not spending more time in input, in output, that's not a good thing.

317

Now coming back to the numbers I memorized, I know you're wondering how I memorize these numbers.

318

Now for that I have a simple system, it's called visualization and association.

319

Now how many of you believe that the brain remembers pictures better, yes?

320

That's the reason why we always say, "I've seen you somewhere, sorry, what's your name?" Do you ever say,

321

"I know your name, what's your face?" Doesn't happen, because that's the way the human brain works.

322

So what I do is I have pre -assigned visuals for every two digit number.

323

So as Angelo was calling these numbers to me, so what I did was I tried to,

324

you know, convert those into the visuals that I already have and I used association to link them up together.

325

Now if you're wondering, Nishant, how do you do so fast?

326

That is where implementation comes.

327

When you practice, when you implement it, that's how you become a true master.

328

In fact, when I do these workshops, people can do this at the end of one day or two days.

329

It's not that easy if you know the right technique.

330

Now, coming back to this thing.

331

Oops.

332

I have a simple solution for you before I close, and this is this.

333

If you're spending X amount of time on input, my solution is at least spend 2x amount of time on output.

334

And when you do that, you are well on your way to be a master at achieving anything you want.

335

Now because I messed up a couple of digits, I want to challenge myself.

336

I got inspired after Manoj's speech.

337

I'm gonna challenge myself and turn out my fear and face my fear.

338

And what I'm gonna do is, just take one more minute.

339

I'll try to recall this one more time after speaking for 20 minutes.

340

OK.

341

No. If this doesn't go well, just cut this out from the YouTube.

342

Okay, that's good.

343

Okay, good.

344

So, that's true.

345

So, let me see if you can recall these numbers. in the backwards sequence.

346

Challenging myself. Who knows?

347

four, three, five, 2, 6,

348

1, 5, 9, 2, eight, nine, One, three, Seven.

349

Seven.

350

Zero.

351

Not yet.

352

Thank you.

353

Three.

354

Zero.

355

Two.

356

three, seven, six, eight, full um It's 0.

357

to 1 7 7 7.

358

Thank you very much.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
