“Emotion is the best mnemonic device.”

Simplified Meaning:
Emotions help us remember things more easily. Think about a time when you felt very happy, excited, or sad. You probably remember what happened better than a normal day because your feelings were strong. For example, you likely remember the details of a wedding or a funeral more clearly. This idea can be useful for studying or learning new things. If you attach a strong feeling to the information you need to remember, it can make it stick in your mind better. So, if you're trying to learn something important, find a way to make it emotional or meaningful to you.
