Never memorize something that you can look up.

Never memorize something that you can look up.

Summary

This quote, attributed to Albert Einstein, suggests that there is no need to commit certain information to memory if it can easily be accessed through external sources. Instead of memorizing facts, figures, or details that can be readily found in books, technology, or other references, it advocates for developing the skill of knowing where and how to find information when needed. In an age of vast information availability, it encourages a shift towards understanding concepts and critical thinking, rather than focusing solely on retention of facts.
