Good Will Hunting - Asrol's FotoPage

. Always admired people with brain, or those who has photographic memory.

People said photographic memory is a gift, it cannot be trained. The thing about memorizing is on how you memorize a thing. For example, some people memorize phone numbers according to the position of the number on the keypad. Some memorize it through their rhymes, some through the shape of the numbers. Some memorize it as reading a word. For example, he/she sees 0123456789 as like WAZZZAAAPP. He/she sees the number, and sponteneously memories it. The larger the amount of numbers he/she can memorize, the more brilliant he/she is. This is what they called, photographic memory.

But it can be trained though. Put like 5 cards on a table, and with a glance try to guess how many cards are there. Then try to increase the number of cards. Or maybe u can try by guessing how many jubin are there on your kitchen floor, by only one glance. But this training need to be done over and over again.

Hmm..I would like to share with u all this line, taken from the movie. Its my favourite.

"So if I asked you about art,you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written.

Michelangelo.
You know a lot about him. Life's work. Political aspirations.Him and the pope. Sexual orientation. The whole works, right?

I bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling.

If I ask you about women... you'll probably give me a syllabus of your personal favourites.

You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman... and feel truly happy.

I ask you about war, you'd probably, throw Shakespeare at me, right?
"Once more into the breach, dear friends."

But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap... and watch him gasp his last breath lookin' to you for help.

I ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet... but you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes. Feelin' like God put an angel on Earth just for you... who could rescue you from the depths of hell.

And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel... to have that love for her be there forever. Through anything. Through cancer.

And you wouldn't know about sleepin' sittin' up in a hospital room for two months holding her hand... because the doctors could see in your eyes... that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you.

You don't know about real loss... 'cause that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself."

Adios
