Ananda Pappaiah was famous for his memory, or for the lack of it. He could never remember anything for long. To remind himself about the tasks, he used to tie knots on his sleeve.
One day, he wanted to do three things as soon as he returned home. He quickly tied three knots on his sleeve, one for each of the things he had to remember. After he got home, he did two of the things right away.
However, he just could not remember the third thing no matter how hard he tried! He sat up the whole night trying to remember what the third thing was.
Then early in the morning he remembered what he wanted to do. He had tied the third knot to remind himself to get a good night's sleep!
We get so caught up in what we are doing that we forget the reason for which we are doing it!
