This article is from wikihow, I found it good for me and may be you.

1. Keep your brain active. The brain is not a muscle, but regularly “exercising” the brain actually does keep it growing and spurs the development of new nerve connections that can help improve memory. By developing new mental skills—especially complex ones such as learning a new language or learning to play a new musical instrument—and challenging your brain with puzzles and games you can keep your brain active and improve its physiological functioning.
2. Exercise daily. Regular aerobic exercise improves circulation and efficiency throughout the body, including in the brain, and can help ward off the memory loss that comes with aging. Exercise also makes you more alert and relaxed, and can thereby improve your memory uptake, allowing you to take better mental “pictures.”
3. Reduce stress. Chronic stress can damage the brain in the long run, and even temporary stresses can make it more difficult to effectively focus on concepts and observe things. Try to relax, regularly practice yoga or other stretching exercises, and see a doctor if you have severe chronic stress.
4. Eat well and eat right. There are a lot of herbal supplements on the market that claim to improve memory, but none have yet been shown to be effective in clinical tests (although small studies have shown some promising results for ginkgo biloba and phosphatidylserine). A healthy diet, however, contributes to a healthy brain, and foods containing antioxidants—broccoli, spinach, and berries, for example—and Omega-3 fatty acids appear to promote healthy brain functioning. Grazing, eating 5 or 6 small meals throughout the day instead of 3 large meals, also seems to improve mental functioning (including memory) by limiting dips in blood sugar, which may negatively affect the brain.
5. Take better pictures. Often we forget things not because our memory is bad, but rather because our observational skills need work. One common situation where this occurs (and which almost everyone can relate to) is meeting new people. Often we don’t really learn people’s names at first because we aren’t really concentrating on remembering them. You’ll find that if you make a conscious effort to remember such things, you’ll do much better. One way to train yourself to be more observant is to look at an unfamiliar photograph for a few seconds and then turn the photograph over and describe or write down as many details as you can about the photograph. Try closing your eyes and picturing the photo in your mind. Use a new photograph each time you try this exercise, and with regular practice you will find you’re able to remember more details with even shorter glimpses of the photos.
6. Give yourself time to form a memory. Memories are very fragile in the short-term, and distractions can make you quickly forget something as simple as a phone number. The key to avoid losing memories before you can even form them is to be able to focus on the thing to be remembered for a while without thinking about other things, so when you’re trying to remember something, avoid distractions and complicated tasks for a few minutes.
7. Repeat things you need to learn. The more times your hear, see, or think about something, the more surely you’ll remember it, right? It’s a no-brainer. When you want to remember something, be it your new coworker’s name or the date of the Battle of Hastings, repeat it, either out loud or silently. Try writing it down; think about it.
8. Group things you need to remember. Random lists of things (a shopping list, for example) can be especially difficult to remember. To make it easier, try categorizing the individual things from the list. If you can remember that, among other things, you wanted to buy four different kinds of vegetables, you’ll find it easier to remember all four.
9. Use mnemonics. Mnemonics, also called “mnemonic devices” are memory aids. There are a wide variety of mnemonics suitable for different tasks. Some are very simple, such as “first-letter” mnemonics: the nonsense name Roy G. Biv, for example, uses the first letters of each of the colors of the spectrum in order. Mnemonics of increasing complexity, such as creating a story which includes things you need to remember, or creating a sentence the words of which correspond to a series of digits (the number of letters in each word is the next number in the series) can be used to remember longer or more complex ideas. One of the most powerful mnemonics is the “memory palace,” a mental journey that can be used to remember almost anything.
10. Organize your life. Keep items that you frequently need, such as keys and eyeglasses, in the same place every time. Use an electronic organizer or daily planner to keep track of appointments, due dates for bills, and other tasks. Keep phone numbers and addresses in an address book or enter them into your computer or cell phone. Improved organization can help free up your powers of concentration so that you can remember less routine things. Even if being organized doesn’t improve your memory, you’ll receive a lot of the same benefits (i.e. you won’t have to search for your keys anymore).

Ini gw kutip dari sebuah majalah, sepertinya bagus buat dishare. Kebanyakan jaman sekarang orang orang enggan untuk berkomitment, eh tapi jangan salah lho mayoritas dari kita (kaum laki-laki) berkeinginan untuk lanjut ke jenjang perkawinan.Ada 8 alasan yg bisa kita simpulkan ( yang masuk akal)

1. Melengkapi hidup. Kebanyakan kita merasa kalau hidup ini kok terasa belum lengkap kalau nggak menikah. Masa-masa sekolah telah kita lewati, masa-masa remajapun sudah kita nikmati, dan kemudian bekerja, rasanya masih belum lengkap kalau kita belum melangkah lagi ke fase berikut.
2. Ingin diurus. Laki-laki membutuhkan seseorang yang membuatnya nyaman, memenuhi setiap kebutuhannya, seperti; kopi dipagi hari, menyiapkan sarapan, dll
3. Sudah Mapan. Jika semua telah siap kenapa tidak?, bukankah itu yang diharapkan semua orang, jadi tidak ada alasan untuk menunda perkawinan.
4. Bosan Melajang. Ada masa dimana laki-laki akan merasa diambang batas kebosanan dengan segala rutinitas kelajangan, memang enak sih, tapi lama-lama pasti …hmmm
5. Capek Pacaran. Sudah sekian tahun pacaran, banyak biaya keluar buat bensin, nonton, makan, bertengkar (pikiran nih yang pusing). Mereka yang capek, biasanya memilih untuk menikah.
6. Ingin Punya keturunan. Seperti sebagian besar perempuan, laki-laki jg mempunyai keinginan yang besar untuk mempunya keturunan, akan terasa belum sreg kalau belum ada keturunan.
7. Mengakhiri Petualangan. Bahkan bagi seorang petualang cintapun akan sampai pada pelabuhan terakhirnya, biasanya sih yang terakhir orangnya biasa-biasa saja kalau dibandingkan dengan yang sebelumnya.
8. Tanpa Alasan. Ini dia, katanya kalau mau nikah ya nikah aja, gak ada alasan, begitu keinginan itu muncul ya laksanakan saja.
