Memory and imagination are inextricably connected. In fact, your memory is imagined. It’s not concrete nor objective fact. But rather, your memory is how you stored, connected, and interpreted a person, place, or thing.

记忆和想象是紧密相连的。实际上，你的记忆是由想象构成的。记忆并不是一种具体且客观的事实，而是你如何储存、连接和解释一个人、一个地方或一件事情。

Your memory gets better as you become more imaginative. Very few people have learned how to utilize their long-term memory. And because many people have poor memory strategies they are ineffective learners, they lack creativity, and they lack confidence in themselves.

随着想象力的提升，你的记忆力也会变得更好。 很少有人学会如何充分利用长期记忆。 由于很多人没有好的记忆策略，他们的学习效果不佳，缺乏创造力，对自己也没有信心。

If you can’t remember something, you didn’t learn it.

如果你记不住某件事，那说明你没有真正学会它。

Once you become powerful at maximizing your memory, your learning goes from the conscious to the subconscious level much quicker. Once learning becomes subconscious, you have more control and ownership of it.

一旦你变得擅长提升记忆力，你的学习就会很快从有意识状态转化为潜意识状态。当学习进入潜意识时，你对它的掌控能力就会提高，你对所学内容的理解和掌握也会更深刻和自主。

When something becomes subconscious, you can then use it to create a more powerful physical reality. As Napoleon Hill said, “The subconscious mind will translate into its physical equivalent, by the most direct and practical method available.”

当某个想法或行为变成潜意识的一部分后，你就可以利用它创造一个更有影响力的现实。正如拿破仑·希尔所说的：“潜意识会用最直接和实际的方法，将其转变为对应的现实。”

Again, memory is all about imagination. You can’t remember something if you don’t connect it to something else. All learning is simply association — connecting what you currently know with something you don’t yet know.

记忆实际上就是想象力的运用。要想记住某件事，必须将它与其他事物联系起来。所有的学习都是一种关联——将你已经了解的知识与尚未掌握的知识相连接。
