#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

But some other things are don't sub-vocalize the words.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

Don't say the words.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

Don't read to yourself.

#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

If you're reading to yourself, if you're saying the words, you're going to be limited to how fast you can talk, not how fast you can read.

And the average person is reading about 200 words a minute.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

Almost everybody, by using their finger and just staying a little bit more focused,

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

And that's what I did.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

Makes sense, makes sense.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

Where do we go from here?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

Well, that's the first 10 years, I would say.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

And that's when I enlisted in the military.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost
