A short pencil is better than a long memory

Fabulous ideas may just hit us anytime. And they don't come around twice. I have read many times that a small pocket-sized notepad and a pencil/pen are MUST haves for succesful people.

Alhamdulillah, I have inculcate this habit for quite sometime already and found it very useful to quickly jot down the brilliant thoughts that may pop up. To be frank, my "light bulb" moments usually have a short life (LOL! if you understand that..). That's why i found it very helpful. Even my mum does this, though hers is not a nice cute little book like mine ;-) (well, she's a retired primary teacher). Hahaha and to add to that MaMa has her long list of contacts in this book of hers! This is simply because she doesn't keep them in her handphone. MaMa only carries her handphone to make / answer calls from us (children only), or maybe a few relatives and her close friends. We have stopped trying to text her...coz she doesn't bother to check the message box he he he. But wow, her networking is superb! I must get her to transfer some to me later he he he.

And another habit of mine that certainly helps my memory is, just by taking the pictures of the things/events with my handphone camera (a 3.2 mp one is great). These would be enough for some layman like me who doesn't own a sophisticated gadgets like i-pods, or whatever you may call it ;-)
