Conclusion
Introduction
In the words of Cicero, memory is the treasury and guardian of all things. A good memory is truly an invaluable asset; one which costs little to acquire but which brings lasting benefit every day.
Your memory of faces, names, facts, information, dates, events, circumstances and other things concerning your everyday life is the measure of your ability to be successful in today’s fast-paced, information-dependent society. With a good memory, you do not have to fear forgetting or misplacing important things. You can overcome mental barriers that hinder you from achieving success in all areas of your life.
The human brain is a truly remarkable thing in its own right. Neuroscientists say that it is the most complex structure ever to have existed on this planet. A big statement, but one which can be backed up hard facts. Its capacity to process information and remember what has happened is phenomenal. Most of us do not even come close to using it to its full potential.
Survival mechanism
In an evolutionary sense, memory is a survival mechanism. It helps us to register patterns of behaviour and events in our environment, those that are helpful to our survival, those that threaten our survival and those that are neutral.
If we are fully aware in the present moment, paying attention to what is happening, memory is automatic. In the absence of a neurological disease or handicap, poor memory is usually the result of being pre-occupied, not paying attention. The good news is that memory is a cognitive skill that can be improved with practice. It is like a muscle; it gets stronger the more you use it. It also gets weaker if you do not use it.
Use it, or lose it
As a people get older, they tend to settle into established ways of thinking. Over time, through familiarity, these require less and less effort to maintain. The brain uses a lot of energy, so it is tempting to economise on how much you use it. Getting older does not necessarily mean your memory will get worse; only if you stop using it. There are many older people who are mentally very sharp and creative well into their
