We think that we can do evrything with the help of will power.But thi is not true.There is something more powerful than will power.It is the imagination which comes spontaneously to our mind.
Suppose,there is a wooden plank 20 ft. long.You can easily walk over it.But if the same is placed between two tall buildings,you will not be able to walk over it.This is because the imagination comes to brain that you may fall down and this imagination is so strong that if you attempt to walk over it,the imagination will automatically be fulfilled and you will actually hurtle down to your death.
If one building is burning and you dont have substitute,immediately you run over to the other building without failing down.This is because you just dont get much time for imagination.
In essence,therefore you try to do a thing only if it is difficult to do.If it is not difficult,you dont try to do it,you simply do it.Difficulty and trying are associated with each other.Unless there is difficulty,trying does not come into picture.
Trying raises difficulty:--->
If you try to remember,the brain imagines that it is difficult to remember.The imagination gets automatically fulfilled,and it becomes really difficult to remember.
For example-
1.When you are reading a novel,your factor of trying is practically nill and you can recall what you read easliy.
Ask people,who have read Lord of the rings and how they felt it difficult to remember so many names and how they were confused between the diffrent characters till they finished the novel :)
2.When you are watching a movie,you are not trying to remember anything and you can easily recall the whole movie :)
3.But when you are reading a text book,you are trying to remember each and evry line of it and you know the results ;)
Trying to answer one of my friend's query--->
I remember one of my friend asking me this question,that why i used to read my text book as a comic book in front of everyone.I used to call it 'Blank Reading' which i used to do before i used to read it seriously.
It is tough for a telephone operator to remember phone nos. initially. Because she is actually trying hard to remember it.But after some days,she finds that she is able to remember everything without any effort.By this time,her efforts in trying to remember becomes less.
I hope,this article answers his question...

good abstract subject Ankit. Mark Twain said "You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus"
Very true. The mind can play different games to different needs.
That was a good subject to blog about. Some times your imagination triumphs over perception. Keep blogging... Will drop in frequently to comment. ;)
ps: I fulfilled my promise :)
hey its a very good topic..
I have got such thoughts many times, which u put into words. :)
Keep writing, I'll keep commenting
hey ..
After reading this .. it feels like what you have told is true ..
But don't you think you will get things early ( i mean the contents of text books ) when exam is nearby & pressure is more on you ???????
Good words.
"If you try to remember,the brain imagines that it is difficult to remember.The imagination gets automatically fulfilled,and it becomes really difficult to remember."..i know about this since i have been thinking and experiencing it since few of my past years...but what if,to get a confirmed winning effect on any topic,someone does take it as difficult and defeats the problem...then in which category he/she will fall?I mean does it mean that he/she is definitely strong with imagining it as a tough task and doing it?does it mean he is really a "point of sword" in life?who is bravely saying that 'it' is tough and i will finish 'it' by taking it as tough...i guess this attitude kills the uncertainty of doing that work for that particular man,he will enjoy the fruits too and procedure too!also he can take any topic afterwards and solve 'it'...he wouldn't be a slave of doing a perticular set of work..!
