In making meaningful connections from right at the beginning, the first impression is the most important impression upon your mind. Meaningful impressions is nothing more than taking the information and understanding it and then putting it into your mind in a certain way. It could be visual, auditory and of course your motivation has to come along with it, you have to be motivated to say "I want to learn this information, it's important". Like meeting people, say to yourself "I like people, I want to remember them" right before you even meet them. When you're being introduced and all of the sudden the name comes across, you might meet three, four, five people at one time and you have to be in control from the conscious mind and focus and know how to lock it in right from the beginning.
