intelligence VS effort

As you know, my classmates, I have a poor memory.
I'm very bad at remembering names, places, dates and numbers.

In the beginning of a semester, I'm in trouble of memorizing students' and new co-teachers' names. It's not easy for me to recall the places where I've been, the food names that I've eaten and the dates something happened.
Of course, ENGLISH WORDS, too!

How about you? Are you also forgetful? Or Can't you understand my situation? Is it the problem of intelligence or effort?

If you have a secret method of super memory,
why don't you share & compare it?

Just say it!

If you were going to die soon

and had only one phone call

you could make,

who would you call

and what would you say?

And why are you waiting?

the first thing & feeling in the morning

These days, it's difficult for me to get up early in the morning.
Probably, it's because of cold weather, too dark or... laziness? :)
Before getting out of bed, I say to myself, 'Please, 5 minutes more.'

What is the first thing you do in the morning? And what do you feel when you
oepn your eyes in the morning?

Blindness - Jose Saramago-

Have you ever imagined that all the people in the world become blind except you? The movie is about human nature both good and bad - selfishness, indifference, opportunism & empathy, love, perseverance -

One thing that I liked was shining white image of the movie and
I felt like I was in dream world.
It was scary, sad, desperate and obviously, very unique.

Hush, hush ...

Everyman is an island. I stand by that.

But, clearly, some men are part of island chains.

Below the surface of the ocean, they're actually connected.
