When you do not use your arms or your legs
for some time, they will become weak. When you start using them again, they
slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem
to know that memory (记忆)works in the
same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory,
he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone
else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it
enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are
weak, we know that it is his own fault (过错).But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us
think that his parents may be blamed (责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you
ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have, better
memories? This is because they cannot read or write but they have to remember
things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember
days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole
time.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn
from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.
