Deep dives

The Nature of Memory

Memory is viewed as a skill that can be trained rather than an innate trait defined as 'good' or 'bad'. This perspective emphasizes that a well-trained memory can be a powerful asset, especially in professions where remembering details such as client information and market knowledge is critical. The consequences of forgetting can be severe, leading to time loss, diminished effectiveness, mistakes, and potential harm to relationships. On the other hand, a strong memory creates opportunities for success, making the ability to recall names and facts a significant advantage in business settings.
