Fanime was amazing but it totally left me sick for weeks 
after I got better, I went through the letters I got and found one that had nothing but $20 and a note describing one of my posters. It looked like someone made a mistake and accidentally gave me their money without getting a poster. I want to return that money so If it was you, please e-mail me at Yuumei.yan@gmail.com with your name and address.
Please view this video of Inspirational Learning quotes, it is very beautiful to watch.
Memory is a child walking along a seashore.You never can tell what small pebble it will pick up and store away among its treasured things. ~Pierce Harris, Atlanta Journal

There can be no learning without memory.
Your memory is a beautiful treasure chest of images, experiences, facts, names, faces of loved ones, and perhaps most importantly; knowledge that has become fundamental aspects of your intellectual and social identity. Without memory, how would you even be able to complete the basic procedural skills, i.e. reading classics such as Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)?
If memory plays such a significant part in our lives, then how does it relate to our learning? According to Aaron P. Nelson (Ph.D. Harvard Medical School. (2005). Achieving optimal memory), humans process new information, store it, and then later retrieve it this information. Psychological research has proven that for both animals and humans, memory forms a crucial part of our learning process. Researchers today are finally in agreement with motherly instincts; babies can actually recognise and remember their mothers voice within the first few days!
During infants cognitive development, they begin to show clear signs of developing short term memory. Early cognitive development researchers such as Piaget (1923, 1926, 1970) may have underestimated the capabilities of young infants. Piaget theorized that “a child's cognitive system is more or less limited to motor reflexes, which are present at birth, such as sucking.” However, cognitive development is far more extensive; when motor skills are substantially reduced, 6-month-old infants can remember a sequence of actions for 24 hours (Barr et al., 1996; Learmonth et al., 2004) and provided their memory is prolonged with a series of reminders, 3-month-old infants also show evidence of learning in deferred imitation tasks (Campanella and Rovee-Collier, 2005).
Learning, as defined by Tortora and Grabowski (1996), is “the ability to acquire new knowledge or skills through instruction or experience. Memory is the process by which that knowledge is retained over time.” Children's memory, like adults, have three important components of processing information: first, they must acquire the information. Then, they must store and consolidate the information (meaning, if you concentrate well enough, you may be able to remember the information over the long term). The last stage is retrieval; accessing the stored information.
As we grow into young adults, we heavily rely on our memory. Language skills we have learnt as children, eventually temporarily disappear. As academic students, we must retrieve important skills to use for our learning. As we grow older, our brain processes slow down, thus memory consolidation and retrieval is reduced. We must constantly exercise our brain to memorise and recall information. Constant simulation of the brain improves our concentration levels, so when we access information, our brains can work competently.
Thus, from the evidence supported, memory and learning are very closely linked. Without memory, we would not be able to access or uncover the hidden treasures of information. Discover memory techniques to improve your academic skills; I wish you all success and revelation as you begin your intellectual journey.
