Hello, All!
Please share with us your favorite memory symbol - an image you use to remind you of something. Remember, the stranger the better!
“Now nature herself teaches us what we should do. When we see in everyday life things that are petty, ordinary, banal, we generally fail to remember them, because the mind is not being stirred by anything novel or marvelous. But if we see or hear something exceptionally base, dishonorable, extraordinary, great, unbelievable, or laughable, that we are likely to remember a long time… Thus nature shows that she is not aroused by the common, ordinary event, but is moved by new or striking occurrences.” –Cicero, Rhetorica ad Herennium
Best,
Mah
