Remember the Positive and Forget the Negative

Remember the Positive and Forget the Negative
The mind has an amazing capacity. In fact, there are no limits to its power.

The power of mind can be extended to a limitless extent.

It is said that Lucius Scipio could remember the names of all the people who lived in Rome during his time.

There are teachers who know the names of all the children in the class and even those not in their class.

Imagine remembering the names of a few hundred children studying in various classes.

Remembering the relevant bits of information is necessary but it is neither advisable nor possible to retain each and every piece of information that our brain receives during our lifetime.

We simply remove the ones that are not relevant and retain the ones that are useful.

We know that we cannot possible remember nor want to remember everything.

To make our memories serve us intelligently, we have to be able to choose the things we want to remember and concentrate on developing selective type of memory.

It is worth remembering two fundamentals rules –

#Everyone has greater power of memory that he imagines

#Although intensive training produces great improvement in memory, training does not develop the general faculty of memory but simply increases the particular kind of memory job that is practiced.

The mind is like an endless shelf. We are constantly heaping information on it, just like we stack clothes in the cupboard.

What happens when we need a specific dress that we want to wear for the special party in the evening?

We spend a whole lot of time, searching for the specific dress amidst the chaotic clutter.

Similarly, the mind, which is heaped with a whole lot of irrelevant and useless information, takes time to dredge up the necessary information.

Sometimes it even fails to retrieve the useful stuff.
