I have a memory like an elephant. In fact, elephants often consult me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have a memory like an elephant. I remember every elephant I've ever met.
Rather than studying the most complex form of memory in a very complicated animal, we had to take the most simple form - an implicit form of memory - in a very simple animal. So I began to look around for very simple animals. And I focused in on the marine snail Aplysia.
Psychoanalysts and elephants, they never forget.
I've actually got quite a good memory. I've good recall. It's often things which other people might not notice.
Elephants can live to an age of up to 70 or 80 years and they have a good memory. It could be they come across an area that is experiencing a drought. Then they continue on their path and run into people.

I have a very, very good memory, and I always remember the people who have done right by me and the people who have done wrong by me.
If you don't have your experiences in the moment, if you gloss them over with jokes or zoom past them, you end up with curiously dispassionate memories.

They say an elephant never forgets. Well, you are not an elephant. Take notes, constantly. Save interesting thoughts, quotations, films, technologies... the medium doesn't matter, so long as it inspires you.
