A short YouTube clip (Vishen Lakhiani) arguing that memory is not inherently good or bad but can be trained; beliefs about one's memory (self-talk) influence performance and can become self-fulfilling. The speaker counsels monitoring self-talk because the brain runs that internal program and 'eavesdrops' on it.

There's no such thing as a good or bad memory. There's just a trained memory and an untrained memory. A lot of people believe that they can't do certain things. They can just never remember names. So I could teach them a strategy. But if the belief has not changed, becomes self fulfilling. Your brain is like a supercomputer and your self talk is a program it will run monitor your self talk and stand guard to your mind because your mind is always eavesdropping on your self talk.
