“We are what we remember. If we lose our memory, we lose our identity and our identity is the accumulation of our experiences.

("Walking down the memory lane" )”

― Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money

I didn't understand it until I was 30 years old and realized the benefits of doing what he said I could do.
