http://ideas.time.com/2013/03/20/what-our-memories-tell-us-about-ourselves/?iid=op-article-mostpop1

Questions:
1. Do you have any memory that you know is not true?

2. Sometimes you didn't remember something, but others kept telling you that it actually had happened. Would you be convinced that it's likely or remember it instead? What is the difference?

3. "Memories are foundational for our sense of self". What do you think of it? How do you know yourself or others without memories?

4. Do you have any methods to retrieve lost memory?

Dear Taichung Happiers:

Bill Gates can interview him about cultivating a curious mind; Bill Clinton should learn from him that, sometimes, remaining shy is the right thing to do; there will be no objection if he is nominated for Nobel Peace Prize. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Bill Shih, our host for this weekend. The topic “What Our Memories Tell About Ourselves” encourages Happiers to open up the concealed corners of our minds, so that we shall welcome life deeply and completely.

Nobel Literature Prize laureate William Faulkner used to say “Memory believes before knowledge remembers”. We write, we tape, we draw, we sing, and we even dance to see the various escapes of our memories. Nevertheless, we keep wondering what on earth the right path is to capture the finest point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCkji-0aqHo

The topic is like the spring sunshine to wake us up from hibernating. The process of constructing memories is essential to how we understand ourselves and our lives, and it continues to shape who we are now and the decisions we make. In case Happiers are as curious as Bill, here is another supplement: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/memory/ . Thanks a lot, Bill, for contributing such a fascinating topic.
(We have an extremely vivid memory about this morning’s earthquake. Take care, my dear friends.)



Best Wishes,
Jasmine
