If you do not use your arms or your legs
for some time, they will become weak; and when you start using them again, they
will slowly become strong again. 36 knows this, but nobody would think of 37 the fact.
Yet there are
many people who 38 to know that the memory works in
the same way. When someone says that 39 has a good memory, he 40 means that he keeps his memory 41 practice by exercising it very 42 , either consciously or unconsciously.
When someone else says that his memory is
43 , he means that he does not give it
enough 44 to become strong. The position is exactly
the same as that of 45 people, one of 46
exercises his arms and
legs by playing ball, while the other 47 in a chair or a car all day. If a friend
of yours says that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own 48 , But if he tells us that he has a
poor memory, 49 of us think that his parents are to
blame, or that he is just 50
, and few of us realize that it is just as it was his arms or legs that
were weak. Not all of us can become very strong in body or very clever in mind,
51 all of us can improve our strength and
our memory by the same means 52 .
Have you ever
53 that people who cannot read or write
usually have 54
memories than those who
can? Why is this? Of course, because they cannot write down something in a
little notebook or something else. They have to remember names, places, songs
and stories; so their memory is always being exercised.
In a word, if you want to have a good memory, 55
practise remembering.
