CHIMPION BEATS CHAMPION

Did this chimp do a ChiLab Memory course?

In a memory competition on Channel Five, a seven years old male chimp, Ayumu, did three times better that the British memory champion, Ben Pridore., a 30-year-old accountant from Derby. Among his developed memory skills, Pridore is capable of memorizing in under 30 seconds the order of a pack of shuffled cards.

In the game, both participants had to watch a computer screen on which a group of 5 numbers flashed up before being quikcly blanketed by white squares. In just a blink of eye time, they had to touch the squares in order of the numbers from the lowest to the highest .

Ayumu got almost 90% right! His opponent could manage merely 33% correct.

Perhaps it is time for us to stop the sense of superiority being the self-declared smartest species on the earth…

“THE CHILAB METHOD”

Yet the fact remained that it was only a minimal percentage of the population who had made such discoveries and utilized such tools in the area of their own personal development.

Then along came Stephen Covey with “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” – perhaps the best-selling personal development book of all time, followed by the work of Wayne Dyer, Anthony Robbins and countless others.

So I read, researched and wrote, trying to find the real keys in this plethora of advice. I suppose, at the time, as well as learning myself, I was looking for a way to put a lot of extremely useful information into a formula or format which would take the most important aspects of all of these wonderful pieces of personal advice and make them extremely user-friendly.

The more I read, the more I felt that something might be missing. And the more I read, the closer I came to identifying that missing link.
