How to Memorize Anything (16 page)

When you go to a party or a business meeting, you are introduced to many people but the introductions are very brief. At the end of the day, even if you remember a few names, you are not able to relate them with the faces of all the people you met that evening.
So it is equally important to associate the names with respective faces.
That is where the next step comes in the picture.

STEP 3:
TRY TO SEE AN OUTSTANDING FEATURE OR A DISTINCT PART IN THE PERSON’S FACE

Everybody has a distinct feature on their face that can catch your eye. It can be anything like bushy eyebrows, a mole on the cheek, high cheek bones, broad nose, long nose, wide nostrils, thick lips, thin lips, big eyes, small eyes, lines or creases on the forehead, large ears, small ears, dimples, clefts, moustache, double chin, large mouthed, etc. The idea is when you look for some outstanding feature on a person’s face, you are paying more attention, observing and etching his face into your memory.

Below are some sample faces to help identify different facial features in faces:

Patchy Skin

Brushy Eyebrows

Scared Face

Birth Mark

Beautiful Eyes

Rough Hair

Uneven Teeth

Bald

Round Nose

Big Eyes

Mole on Lips

Sharp Eyebrows
