10 STEPS TO A BETTER MEMORY

1. Exercise regularly: Studies have shown that aerobic fitness may reduce the loss of brain tissue common in aging.

2. Stick to a healthy diet: Avoid sugar and saturated fat. And eat lots of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables such as blueberries, spinach, and beets. The magnesium found in dark green, leafy vegetables appears to help maintain memory.

3. Learn new things: Mastering activities you've never done before, such as playing the piano or learning a foreign language, stimulates neuron activity.

4. Get enough sleep: Too little sleep impairs concentration.

5. Devise memory strategies: Make notes or underline key passages to help you remember what you've read. Invent mnemonics formulas to help you remember things.

6. Socialize: Conversation, especially positive, meaningful interaction, helps maintain brain function.

7. Get organized: Designate a place for important items such as keys and checkbooks. Keep checklists for things such as daily medications or items to pack when you travel.

8. Turn off the tube: Experts say too much TV watching weakens brain power.

9. Jot down new information: Writing helps transfer items from short, to long-term memory.

10. Solve brainteasers: Crossword puzzles, card games, and board games such as Scrabble improve your memory.

TEKA-TEKI IMAM GHAZALI

1) Apakah Yang Paling Dekat Dengan Diri Kita Di Dunia Ini?
=Orang tua, guru, teman & kaum kerabat... Tetapi paling dekat dengan kita ialah MATI. Sebab itu janji Allah bahawa setiap yang bernyawa pasti akan mati [Surah Al-Imran:185].

2) Apakah yang paling jauh dari kita di dunia ini ?
=Bulan, Matahari, Bintang-bintang.. benar! Tetapi yang paling jauh adalah MASA LALU . Bagaimanapun kita, apapun kenderaan kita, tetap kita tidak akan dapat kembali ke masa yang lalu. Oleh sebab itu kita harus menjaga hari ini, hari esok dan hari-hari yang akan datang dengan perbuatan yang sesuai dengan ajaran Agama.

3) Apa yang paling berat di dunia ini?
=Besi, gajah... Tetapi paling berat ialah MEMEGANG AMANAH [Surah Al-Azab:72]. Tumbuh-tumbuhan, binatang, gunung, dan malaikat semua tidak mampu ketika Allah SWT meminta mereka menjadi khalifah pemimpin) di dunia ini. Tetapi manusia dengan sombongnya berebut-rebut menyanggupi permintaan Allah SWT sehingga banyak manusia masuk ke neraka kerana gagal memegang amanah.
