You can look at your brain as a microcosm that contains everything you have been and holds the potential of everything you will become. The brain is unique when compared with other organs because it is the only one that exerts influence on the world outside your body as well as inside your body. It is also the only organ that can be used to understand itself, and it is the only organ that can modify itself.
You already know that your brain holds and stores many experiences from your past. Even if you are eighty, you probably still retain some strong memories from your child-hood, and even if you haven’t ridden a bicycle for many years, you probably could ride one today without much trouble.

Yes, some things are forgotten, but there is no doubt that the experiences you have had in the past and the things you learned long ago all have played a role in shaping your brain and making you who you are today.
