A few days ago I got a call from my old college friend whom I haven't seen for a very long time. The
topic, which was about all the good old times that we had changed to a touching story when he started
talking about his father.
His father's declining health made him stay at the hospital. Because of his illness, his father suffered from insomnia (失眠) and often talked to himself. My friend, who had not been able to sleep for a few days as
he had to keep watching his father's condition, became irritated and told his father to keep silent and try to
get some sleep. His father said that he really wanted to sleep well because he was very tired and told my
friend to leave him alone in the hospital if he did not want to keep him company.
After his father finished talking, he fell unconscious (失去知觉). My friend was very sorry for speaking the ill words towards his father. My friend, whom I knew as a tough person, cried as a baby on the other
end of the telephone. He said that from that moment on, he prayed every day, asking God to let his father
wake up from his coma. He promised himself that whatever words came out from his father's mouth after
he regained his consciousness, he would gladly take them. His only hope for God was to give him a chance to rectify his past mistake.
Often, we complain when we have to accompany or watch over our parents for years, months, days,
hours or even minutes. But do we realize that our parents keep us company and watch over us for as long
as we (or they) live? From the day we were born to our adulthood, and even when deaths come to us, they are always at our side.
Imagine how sad our parents will be when they hear a seemingly innocent word of "no" come out from our mouths. We can make promises to ourselves that from now on there will be no more complaints that
come out from our mouths when we have to watch over or accompany our parents. No more complaints
come out from our mouths when we feel that our parents have treated us like little children. There are so
many unlucky ones who have neither fathers nor mothers. They long to have the things that we most
complain about, but never have them.
Actually, it takes only a second to think and light the lamp that will bring us to a place where peace is
dwelling.

Most of us express dissatisfaction with our memory, especially when we want to recall some detai l and we can't.Some examples are, an address or a telephone number, the time of a meeting, somebody's name, etc.Even people who I think have an excellent memory, complain that they forget things.Memory works like a bank.You can get to it, only if you put it there.If you didn't deposit it, you can't collect it when you need it.It is described what we need to do to improve our memory in this article. 2. ____ Recall of a particular event or detail depends on the interest we take and the importance we assign to that detail or event, at the time when it is taking place.We remember so much more about people, places, and topics which fascinate us.When you are greatly interested in a subject, you pay close attention and your brain releases chemicals to form deeper "imprints" on the cells that store memory. 3. ____ The more active attention you pay, the more details you observe, the more you think, reason, and comprehend, the more associations you make of what you know with what you are trying to learn, the more you will retain and be able to recall, later on.Good memory is a state of the active mind. 4. _____ Learn with a relaxed mind.Recall the learned material with a relaxed mind.Let's take as an example a situation where you misplace your car keys.If you get too anxious about yourself in trying to recall something, as is the case in this example, you are in for frustration.But, if you relax your mind, and calmly go through the events backward, you are more likely to remember where you left them. 5. _____ Depression can make the interest and joy less in th  e events surroundings us.As a result, too little energy is left to recall anything.Some depressed persons become more anxious and depressed thinking, "I have lost my mind." Once depression is treated, memory as a general rule, returns to the normal. |
