Memories

    Memories may seem like scattered fragments of debris, but we should not discard them so carelessly on the trash heap of forgotten history, for they are treasures in disguise. Our memories are the building blocks of self-development, the alphabet of personal expression, the arithmetic of problem solving. We live our lives in real-time, with no option of pressing the pause button, but memories allow us to rewind and reflect. They are the snapshots of our life, to be viewed through the lens of our subsequent experience. We can play back our memories over and over again, not only to enjoy them, but to learn from them.
