Earlier in the week, I had a conversation with a friend of mine who is a chemistry teacher and asked him if he taught his students short codes to remember elements in chemistry and he said he didn't know of it.

I told him that in my secondary school days,there was a short code we used and it made us to remember it .

The short code was He Has Large Brain But Can Not Offer Full Nine Subjects May All Silly Painters Stop Colouring Articles Kept Carelessly.

The first letters represent the elements like Hydrogen, Hellium,Boron,Carbon,Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine,Neon etc.

Other popular short codes were MRNIGERD for characteristics of a living thing with M for movement, R for respiration, For nutrition, I for irritability G for growth e for excretion, R for reproduction while D for death.

A lot of codes in those days that really helped,I wonder if this generation still make use of it.

I form my own codes from all subject topics and subtopics excluding maths. That’s the difference between intelligent student and other students.

While others used the whole term or semester cramming, we used a few hours to code everything to make it very easy to remember and pass.

The first and second elements are easy to remember. We now designate and identify the 3rd to the 18th as a single name. In few minutes of repeating it is stuck in memory for life.The last two elements are also easy to remember
