Memory
A lot of people are so focused on getting the information into their heads, they don’t pay enough attention to keeping it there. And let’s face it, there’s no point in learning something unless you’ve then got it accessible to you later on. Especially if you’re learning it in order [...]

You really can sniff rosemary for a better memory. Seems Shakespeare was on to something: “There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance.” And he was absolutely right.
