LH, a student from a medical college, writes:
I've been annoyed for years by my poor memory. It blocks me from improving my English language skills. How to get rid of this problem? I've been searching for ways to get any effect... but I can't see any of them works. I want to broaden my vocabulary eagerly!
Can you help me, please?
My comments:
I don't know if you have a poor memory. I know you have a poor excuse.
When we do something well, people often attribute our success to talent. That's their excuse. Talent is overblown. Our success is down to effort. That means honest hard work, putting in the hours while others are playing (or praising us for having talents they themselves don't possess).
Conversely, when we don't something well, we often attribute our failure to something we seemingly don't have control over – we didn't go to the best school, the weather is hot down south or what have you. This is our excuse. It makes our failures easier to take. But deep down, we know our lack of success is down to effort and interest, the lacks thereof that is.
Let's face it, LH, no-one has that much better a memory than another. One man may be able to count pi to 17 places (3.1415926575897932). But that same man may fail to recall the name of the current Prime Minister (Wen Jiabao). What separates one from another ultimately is their effort and, ultimately, interest.
