The next time you're tempted to groan, you might try to laugh instead.

We make too much of that long groan which underlines the past.

I've a grand memory for forgetting.

Forget the past.

If it's hard to remember, it'll be difficult to forget.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

It's a weakness of mine to forget what it is I've just been talking about so that when people make witty allusions to it, I stare at them open-mouthed, not knowing what they're talking about.

The next time you're tempted to groan, you might try to laugh instead. It will extend your life and make the lives of all those around you more enjoyable.

If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered.

Tell me, I forget, show me, I remember, involve me, I understand.
