I’ve always been fascinated by a person’s memorization skills. Joshua Foer’s memory training was on another level, but I was mesmerized onby how he analyzed his audience. He includes them by answering their question and makes it fun for them because he knew it wioulld bore them byif he just answeringed what he had already memorized. He didn’t just talk about himself, he speaks to his audience to understand their interests and attitude towards him. I used to joke around before presenting something in front of my classmates back in the Philippines to make our conversation more interesting,; I loset thatose skills when I got here into the USA. I believe that I will gain that confidence back by finding ways to improve my communication skills through memory-training and personal experience.
