Xiaopan, did you remember the process I just explained?

小潘
jì zhù记住leyì diǎn一点dàn shì但是yǒu xiē有些dì fāng地方tàiqīng chǔ清楚

I remembered part of it, but some parts are still not very clear.

黄刚
suǒ yǐ所以yàozuòbǐ jì笔记bú yào不要zhǐyòngnǎo zi脑子

That’s why you need to take notes. Don’t rely only on your memory.

小潘

I used to keep things in my head and rarely wrote them down.

黄刚

At work, there are many things to handle, so it’s easy to forget. Writing things down is safer.

小潘

I understand. It means it’s better to write things down.

黄刚

Right. There’s a saying: ‘The palest ink is better than the best memory.’ It means records are more reliable than memory.

小潘

That saying is interesting. I’ll take more notes from now on.
