I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

What I hear, I forget. What I say, I remember. What I do, I understand.

I hear, I know. I see, I remember. I do, I understand.

A poet stated it more succinctly when he wrote, “I hear and forget. I see and hear and I remember. However, when I see, hear and do, I understand and succeed.” Interestingly enough, you will discover that when you read this book a second time, you will get more thoughts and more ideas than you did the first time. This is especially true if you read a few minutes every day before you start your day’s activities and just before you go to sleep.

See, hear and perceive.

You teach me, I forget. You show me, I remember. You involve me, I understand.

My ears hear colors and my eyes see sounds.

Tell me and I'll forget, show me and I may remember, involve me and I'll learn.

One should indeed see, hear, understand and meditate over the Self, O Maitreyi; indeed, he who has seen, heard, reflected and understood the Self – by him alone the whole world comes to be known.

I have seen all I care to see and heard rather more.

Tell me and I will forget, show me and I may remember; involve me and I will understand.

What you understand, you know; and what you know, you don't forget.

People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.

I do remember, and then when I try to remember, I forget.
