"It is to memory that we owe all, what

we are and have. Ideas and concepts
are products of it; Each perception,
each thought, each notion is carried by
it. Memory unties all the innumerable 
phenomena of consciousness into one
entirety."

Waiter in a restaurant
A waiter in a popular restaurant will
take the orders of four men, sitting at
the same table, repeat the order to
the kitchen dept. and serve them
some minutes later, giving the right
food to each of the four. This is good
ear perception. To train your hearing,
take a directory, or any other list of
names and addresses; and having
read out two audibly and slowly, but
only once, close the book and try to
recall them. Persevere.
