DAY 9:
Initializing is a technique that all of us have made up for ourselves. When you’re memorizing a set of words initializing is often helpful. To use it, create another word out of the words you want to remember using their first letters. For example, do you know the names of all the great lakes? No? Well, here’s how you can remember them: the word
“HOMES”. “H” for Huron, “0” for Ontario, “M” for Michigan, “E” for Erie, and “S” for Superior. In addition to this, you can do the reverse of it. If you have a number of abstract letters that you need to rememb er, create a bunch of words using those letters. For example, in music, one needs to remember which note goes on which part of the musical staff. The way to do this is: EGBDF, or, when initializing is applied to it, “Every
Good Boy Does Fine”.

Another example is all of the colors of the rainbow. Do you know them? No? Well, here’s how to remember them: ROY G. BIV. That’s the name of the man who discovered the rainbow (grin). It’s also the encoded colors: (R)ed, (O)range, (Y)ellow, (G)reen, (B)lue, (I)ndigo, and (V)iolet. All these colors together make up what we know as “white
light”.

Let’s use an example from the bible. In Phil. 4:8, it reads, “Therefore brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and there be any praise, think on these things.” Here’s a way
to use initializing to remember the key words in the passage:
