Hermann Ebbinghaus (1885) made a groundbreaking contribution to cognitive psychology by being the first to systematically study memory through rigorous experimentation. Using carefully crafted nonsense syllables, he tested his own ability to recall information over time, pioneering a scientific approach to understanding how we learn and forget. His most famous discovery, the forgetting curve, revealed that memory decays rapidly soon after learning but levels off with time, highlighting the importance of repetition and review. Ebbinghaus’s work laid the foundation for modern memory research and gave us vital tools to improve learning, education, and mental resilience. Today, his insights remind us that forgetting is natural, but with conscious effort and smart strategies, we can retain knowledge, build confidence, and enhance our personal wellbeing. Practise repeating and reviewing what you want to remember and watch your memory of those things improve. For the most part, unrehearsed recollections will fade over time. We may even forget God, which is why the Bible says, “Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes" (Deuteronomy 8:11), and "Remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth" (Deuteronomy 8:18). Life will always have challenges, but spiritual, psychological, and physical blessings flow when we remember Him.
