Memory story · made up to help you remember
“Straight as an arrow! Imagine a wooden arrow notched into a bow, ready to fly toward its target. This radical represents "directness," "speed," and the "decisive" nature of finding an answer. When you see it, think of the power of a single, sharp retort and the focused knowledge that "knows" exactly where to strike.”
