Today I found myself marveling at my ability to remember a conversation I had with a stranger about 20 years ago. What do you find simply amazing that you can do without effort?

I find all workings of the mind amazing, and a few workings of the body…
But if I had to choose one aspect, it would be imagination.
We can conceive of more than what is dictated by our experience, and that enables us to innovate, to develop, to visit places that we’ll never see, or places that can never exist. It facilitates both progress and escape.
Imagination is the most authentic possibility that the World can be changed.

Well, not completely marvelling in the purest sense, and certainly not without effort, but but last nigh I was awarded a ten year pin... ten years at the same job, is that not amazing?

the ability to travel to the moon and one day that wouldn't be as amazing as it is now and so on.....!
we don't remember all we did twenty years ago and the reason we remember some incidents is because of some associations! it is called memory by association. some one told me about this about twenty years ago or so! i don't remember how long ago exactly but i remember who and where! thank you for reminding me. good old days!!

I find it amazing that human beings are the only species to foul their own living area.
Astonishing, truly!

our ability to grasp, process and create abstract concepts and then use those concepts to directly or indirectly influence and/or change things in the objective world to suite our needs/wants.
Eg, language, mathematics.
