As the saying goes, “use it or lose it.”
The “it” I am referring to is a hunger for challenge or knowledge. I suspect that the more we become complacent, the less we are willing to take risks – consequently, less chance to grow and become better than what we were.
Time for a change?
It used to be that having a good memory was a good thing. You can, for example, do well in exams, dazzle people with obscure facts and figures, or simply have a better handle on things because it’s easier to mentally associate many ideas and concepts if they can actually be recalled. Unfortunately this also means ghosts from the past cannot be easily shaken off.
Happened to come across this MTV on youtube tonight – in fact this was the first time I had seen the MTV or the lyrics. This was one of my favourite songs during my PhD days. Really brings back many memories from my trip to Europe, although this song always made me feel homesick at the time…
