We know that we cannot possible remember

 nor want to remember everything.

To make our memories serve us intelligently, we have to be able to choose the things we want to remember and concentrate on developing selective type of memory.

It is worth remembering two fundamentals rules –

#Everyone has greater power of memory that he imagines

#Although intensive training produces great improvement in memory, training does not develop the general faculty of memory but simply increases the particular kind of memory job that is practiced.

The mind is like an endless shelf. We are constantly heaping information on it, just like we stack clothes in the cupboard.

What happens when we need a specific dress that we want to wear for the special party in the evening?

We spend a whole lot of time, searching for the specific dress amidst the chaotic clutter.

Similarly, the mind, which is heaped with a whole lot of irrelevant and useless information, takes time to dredge up the necessary information.

Sometimes it even fails to retrieve the useful stuff.
Remember the Positive and Forget the Negative
