I group

A good example of that is a man called Dominic O’Leary. He can tell you the day of any date in any year. What day was April 21, 1876? “Wednesday”, says Dominic. He can remember the teams and the scores of ever football match in ever World Cup.
And he become world champion memory man when he remembered the order of thirty – five packs of playing cards. At school, he was a pupil who couldn’t remember his lessons.
But everything changed after he saw a programmer on television, which showed people how to improve their memory. He says children can learn to improve their memory from the age of five.

However, he could we do all the same?
The important thing to remember is that our brain actually improves with time and practice.
Some people say that the brain power declines with age, others say that we leave more cells in our brain than we could ever use and that is lack of ability that makes our mental performances decrease.
Poets produce their best work between 30 and 34, medical men and philosophers between 35 and 39 and fiction writers between 30 and 45. But these figures are just averages.
