日記65 : How to Memorize

When I was young, I was very keen to memorize things for exams and was nervous about forgetting them. However, I hardly remember anything now that I was desperately trying to remember back then.
Maybe my brain has been affected by aging and alcohol, and I’m losing my memory, but that may not be the only reason. I think humans often forget things when they’re in pain or not having fun.
However, while I was writing this, I came across an article that said painful memories tend to stick with us more than happy ones. This doesn’t really match my personal feelings. For me, the best way to remember things is to be open to my emotions and try to be happy.
