Mental Agility : A B C

Every tried saying the ABCs backwards? Its really possible, but some would find it difficult, but some after learning the trick would find it easy. Just like any knowledge, everyone can obtain it, but its a matter of how to obtain it. 

Below are just an example how to say the ABCs backwards from ZYX. The trick is to separate them in parts and then linking the parts together so that make sense. Its like a puzzle, you have to jumble them up 1st and then try to fit them together. Remembering things isn't always so straight forward, we have to an effort to it so it will stays in our mind longer.

Step 1 (Seperating them) : ZYX WV UT SRQ PON ML KJI HG FED CBA
Step 2 (creating images) : Note the following is just an example, create your own story or images linking to one another so that you remember better.

Zebra playing a Yoyo accidently hits a X. W cuts in halfs gets V. U Tee. SiR Q. PON. ML (water). KranJI. HuG. FEDeral. CBA.

I found out that when separating them, its important to try to cut it too small or too large. Just a moderate size so that its enough to create your desired image.
