With all due respect Matt...

Denny and I go back slightly more than a year...

He is a fantastic coach...and he certainly knows his stuff - I know, because I have seen the man in person no less and his hands have guided mine.

Its most unfortunate that my post was taken in a way that was not obviously its intent.

I wasn't trying to disprove Denny's ability.

I was just trying to make the point that memorizing things that relate to our profession can elevate you to the 'next level'.

Since my return to Singapore from Arizona, Denny and I frequently communicate over the telephone.

I always tell Denny that he was the one who sparked this TGM fire in me through his generous sharing - he will humbly tell you: "Oh thats nothing..." . What I know today is a debt to the giants that have stood before me.

Denny told me this which left an indelible impression: "Never stop researching, there are always new ways we can learn to communicate TGM concepts to students". I have held firmly to his advice.

In fact, there has been more than one occasion in which Denny and I have spoken about memorizing things - whether I was a straight A's student etc etc...Denny has got this stuff memorized in case you were wondering - don't be misled!

A good memory stems from awareness and organization first and foremost.

I was always a bad student with a bad memory until I picked up Tony Buzan's "How to use your Head". My life changed both socially and academically.

How dramatic was the change?

From a near junior and high school dropout to being on the honor roll in college for 3 consecutive years - and a scholarship offer to do my MBA.
