Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a conscious effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that really didn't happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked last night, yet I clearly remembered locking it carefully the night before.
Memory “tricks” work the other way as well. Once in a while yon remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut; and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at a barber shop across the street from my office.
