WHAT MUST I REMEMBER TO DO TODAY?
Whether we are lawyers, surgeons, salesmen, housewives, symphonic or streetcar conductors, there is one kind of remembering that is necessary to all of us. It is right here that most of us commit our major sins. We all, no matter what our business or financial status is, must remind ourselves to do numerous things from day to day. We may forget to mail letters, to make train reservations, to bring home sun-tan lotion when our wives are leaving for the country. Frequently these oversights get us into consequences ridiculously out of proportion to their importance.
For some reason or other, when we forget, it always seems a most natural and human failing, but when other people forget, we harbor in our hearts the conviction that they did it out of sheer indifference or downright contrary cussedness.
