IMPROVED MEMORY

It’s always interesting how there are man-made solutions for almost anything. Well, not all of them works but the fact that man always seeks to find solutions to anything is quite interesting. Many years ago, I saw a movie of a boy who had a brain damage from birth due to an accident his mother had while she was pregnant with him. They were rich so they tried all they could to get the baby’s brain back to normal but every effort proved abortive. The doctors after sometime told the mother to just pray for a miracle to happened that at that point, there was nothing that could be done scientifically to help her child.

This story came to my mind after seeing the hivelearners topic for this week on FOR YOUR MEMORY. As humans, we easily get worried and overwhelmed when things don’t seem to go our way. One of the problem of most students is getting good grades and that means they need a very good brain so they can easily assimilate what they learn and understand it and also remember them too. So, if most students were told that getting a chip in their brains would improve their memory, most of us might opt for that.

Personally, I know at some point in my academic pursuit, if such an offer comes I might be willing to go for such a thing and that is because I feel I’m lagging behind academically and even in some other areas. But then, if I’m in my right senses, I would rather keep on doing things and eating meals that will help boost my memory rather than put a chip in my brain. Besides, all the knowledge I wish to acquire and save for anytime I need them from my brain will all be worthless when I die. So for me, it is not worth having.

The human brain is one that can always be developed as long as it doesn’t have any dysfunctions. Despite the fact that I need something like this so much at this point, I’ll rather stay as I am trying to fix things naturally than go for something that I do not fully understand it’s functionality. And besides, my brain is doing just fine and I know it gets better from here. I won’t want it to be poked or aided to function perfectly. I know of different ways that I can do that although it takes a longer time.

My memories are not easily flawed but they are sometimes and I think I can manage things a little at those moments. And besides, having a flawed memory helps me work on better ways to solve that problem and that helps me learn in the process and become better too. It might be a tempting offer to just let people put a chip in my brain and get things solved once and for all but I believe challenges are part of what makes living worthwhile.

This is my response to the topic. Thank you for reading through. ❤️
