In  the process of forming and storing memories, the human brain has a mechanism in place that helps 'classify' information according to their level of importance for onward storage. Information that isn't relevant or of utmost importance are simply ignored and consequently not stored. What does this teach us? It means that as an individual, there are things you should ignore really. Not everything is worth your time and attention. Always give priority only to what really matters so that your mind's 'disc space' doesn't get filled up with irrelevant opinions of people about you. Photo Credit: bioedge.org

I watched one of those Nat Geo wild videos on lions and one particular scene stood out for me. The mother lion went out and caught a game for her cubs to eat and got them to the place here she kept the game. On getting there the cubs pounced on the game and all of a sudden the animal  began to move and fight for its dear life meaning it wasn't completely dead. The mother lion saw what was happening but simply sat there watching the Cubs struggle to kill the animal and never lent a helping hand. The cubs had to eventually kill the animal and then have their meal. That scene for me was quite instructive and I tell you why. The mother lion I believe deliberately refused to completely kill that game before bringing it Cubs for a reason; it was time they also learnt how to kill game for their own meals too. This is why  even when the animal began to struggle and fight she refused to move but rather allowed the Cubs to learn, make their own mistakes and develop their hunting skills
