Chapter 4 Section 3 An actor who forgot his lines?

Cultivate your memory and stay away from embarrassments in life. ? ?

There is a theater troupe touring in Ohio, USA. There is a play, the main content of which is that a prison guard gives a prisoner a letter and asks him to read it.In past performances, the letter read by the prisoner was written in full.But in this performance, the actor playing the guard deliberately wanted to make a joke with the actor playing the prisoner, so he handed the "prisoner" a blank sheet of paper with no words written on it.The actor playing the prisoner was dumbfounded when he saw it. He could no longer remember the original text of the letter.At this embarrassing moment, he had a quick wit, looked at it for a while, pretended that the light was too dark to see clearly, said "Please read for me", and gave the "letter" to the "guard" again.The actor playing the role of a guard suddenly encountered a returning carbine, and he also couldn't recite the original text of the letter, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, the light is indeed too dark, I have to get my glasses." Then he excused himself and left the stage.After a while, the guard came up again wearing glasses, had already retrieved the original text of the letter, and read the letter aloud and fluently to the prisoner. ?
Mind walk?

Memory is an important ability for each of us.Similar to the actors in the play, in life, sometimes we can't remember something, which will put us in a very embarrassing situation.For example, if you meet someone you know and suddenly can't remember the name of the other person, it will make the other person suspect that he is not important in your mind.Therefore, we must pay attention to the ability to cultivate memory. Of course, we are not saying that everything needs memory, and memory should also be selected. ?
