The memory is like a rushing river flowing through a canal, and with each turn, the mind travels in one direction or the other. As the information passes through the brain it lands in certain areas of the mind waiting associating objects, words, thoughts, and the like to spark its flow. Once the memory is triggered with associations it soon starts flowing down the canal, yet it takes you to organize the mind to pull the entire memory together.

The best ways to sharpen the short-term memory is to stare. For instant, read the following sentence longer than you normally would.

Jean walked boldly down the street, as the people passed her by. Jean showed confidence in her walk, which made many of the people stare at her as she walked past them. The people were impressed.

Read the sentence longer than you normally would read a sentence. Now, try to repeat the sentence without looking at the information. The first time you may have difficult reciting the words written, however at what time you come back to read the sentence again you will likely recite most of the words written.

As you see the memory has no captured the sentence, and while you may let go of the sentence now, somewhere down the road you will remember this sentence again. The brain works in this manner.

The brain processes information and stores it for the length of your life. No matter what you think is not in your brain, it is. In other words everything you read, everything you hear, everything you smell and so on is stored in your mind.
