Cat Face Optical Illusion
Cats are always doing some of the weirdest and funniest things you could ever imagine. As a matter of fact, I have my cat laying down right beside of me while I type out this latest animal optical illusion post for you. You see, the optical illusion I’m bringing you today actually involves a cute cat. At first, it just looks like this man has a pretty big beard, but upon closer inspection, it looks like his cat is helping him pull off a pretty cute and pretty funny optical illusion. Are you ready to see exactly what I’m talking about? If so, you can scroll down right now. :)
After seeing the image above I bet you busted out into laughter. This reminds me of my cat, because he’s so laid back that you could pick him up like this and he wouldn’t even mind it a single bit. Either way, I hope you liked this post and it brightened up your day. If you did like it, you should rate this post by clicking on one of the stars below it.

Stress : Stress
Stress has a large impact on our ability to think creatively and to form strong memories. When you are worried about something, your mind wastes energy on the worry and becomes inefficient at working towards a solution to the problem. We have a tendency to jump to conclusions and rush ahead in order to get the stress out of our lives. People under stress rarely step back and try to explore their options.
We have several relaxation techniques that can be used to deal with stress and continue to think creatively.
Memory : Phonetic Facts
1. The tallest building in the world is Taipei 101, in Taiwan. It is 509 meters tall. Using the phonetic system, the number 509 translates to 'lazy boy'. Picture a lazyboy chair balanced on the spire sticking out of the top of the building, or picture a very lazy boy taking a week to walk up the stairs to the top. Now, you can easily remember the height of the building.
2. On the periodic table, iron (Fe) has an atomic number of 26 which has the phonetic word of 'notch'. Picture yourself trying to iron your clothes using an iron with a big notch cut into it.
3. The speed of sound is 340 meters per second. The phonetic keyword for 340 is 'Mars'. Think up your own association between 'sound' and 'Mars' to remember this fact.
4. World War II started in 1939. You can use any of the following keywords: Top Mop, Tie Pump or if you ignore the century you can simply use 'map'. Pick your favorite keyword and associate it with the war.
These are just some simple examples showing how easy it is to use the phonetic mnemonic system to more easily memorize facts. Try making up some on your own.
