intelligence VS effort

As you know, my classmates, I have a poor memory.
I'm very bad at remembering names, places, dates and numbers.

In the beginning of a semester, I'm in trouble of memorizing students' and new co-teachers' names. It's not easy for me to recall the places where I've been, the food names that I've eaten and the dates something happened.
Of course, ENGLISH WORDS, too!

How about you? Are you also forgetful? Or Can't you understand my situation? Is it the problem of intelligence or effort?

If you have a secret method of super memory,
why don't you share & compare it?

Hi Sharon,
I don't think it's about intelligence. I think it has mroe to do with how your brain transmitts data to your short and long term memory. Some people have stronger neural pathways for memory than others. I've heard that you you can help yourself by increasing bloodflow to the brain with Ginko and Ginseng.

Hi, Sharon.
I'm also wondering the best way of memorizing things well. If you get to know, let me know the key ways of it please.
In my case, repetition is the best way to keep something in my mind. And... taking 'Chongmyung-Tang'??? Ha,ha!!
I guess you'll have a great time in Seoul. Have fun!! And then, share and compare with me.;)

Hi, Sharon.
Don't underestimate yourself.
I think you have a good memory ability. I also think memory capacity is kind of inborn talent.
Some people has better ability, some don't. Don't take it seriously

Hi, Sharon,
of course it's not the intelligence matter. I think it's just depend on the person't preference. You know many beautiful music but that's impossible for me...Because you like music very much, make sense?

Hi, Sharon.
I think you are a smart woman. Momorizing your students' manes is your own effort. I really have a bad memory, but I have good memory about students' names. That's because I try to remember their names all the time. Whenever I call my students, I call only their given names without their family names.
That's a good way to be friendly with students. Bye.

Hi, Shron! I don't like to write this site's writing. Because I wrote down so many things with warmheartedly. After that, any sign letters can't be shown below. About that, I asked Yumi, one of the same club members, she recommended me. At that time, my warm hearted comments were all gone. Same sistuation happened to me contiuously. So, I don't have any interest about this kind of writing. So Sorry for this saying. Too much concern to you, too much torture to me. Please, Understand me. About your writing about Sophie, I wish I had a chance to tell you again. Good luck!
