November 18, 2009PowerPhrase: I am placing that into long-term memory

Filed under: The PowerPhrase of the Week by merylrunion |

I was silent after a friend shared some knowledge with me. I realized he wouldn’t know how to interpret my silence so I explained:

  • I’m putting that into long-term memory.

He realized that my silence was testament to the power of his words rather than dismissive.
