The Best Memory Trick - Visualization & Association If you have memory problems, you might not be using your brain in the right way. The solution? Learn the best memory trick used by professional memory performers. These performers amaze us with all sorts of memory feats, such as magically remembering the exact order of the 52 cards in a deck (or even several decks!).

In 1868, Coors came to America as an industrious young brewer’s apprentice. 4. The man behind PBR was also a German immigrant who came to the United States as a young boy. 5.

Declutter Your Life – Get More Energy ‘Decluttering is a way to identify what’s obsolete in your life,’ says Julie Morgenstern in the Woman’s Day article 12 Reasons to Unclutter Your Space. ‘Getting rid of stuff creates a sense of energy, giving you room to think, which frees you to do more with your life.’ Julie’s so right.
