8. All Learning Is Memory
Aristotle: Link what you do know to
what you do not know
Memory starts out as a path
Becomes a dirt trail
Becomes a dirt road
Becomes a paved road
Becomes a super highway
In his book “Outliers” Malcolm Gladwell establishes that at times
randomness may create success but most the time it is relentless practice.
