Productive people keep better notes, we've learned, since notetaking
allows us to continually improve our understanding of the world, for
just as "successful students continue to improve their mastery of the
concepts from previous chapters and courses as they move toward the more
advanced material on the horizon; successful people regularly focus on
the core purpose of their profession or life."
Or, as a Chinese proverb says, "The faintest ink is better than the best
memory."
