The private tutor said, "If you're late again next time, don't bother coming." So Lu Xun carved the character "early" on his desk to remind himself, and he was never late again... The doctor said, "If you forget to drink water again, you'll get kidney stones." So I engraved "Remember to drink water" on my phone to remind myself, and I never had kidney stones again... The most important things deserve the simplest and most straightforward reminders. If you keep something in mind, it will resonate!
