My advice is to not trust what you are told by others, act or think based on impressions, or one-offs you've read somewhere.
If you really want to have a deep understanding and appreciation for poker concepts, my personal feeling is you should think through the fundamentals for yourself, run the formulas, and always think about first principles. Use the basics and work everything out for yourself once, twice as many times as you need to convince yourself about the whys, hows and wheres.
Once you do you'll likely never forget, and even if you do you'll be able to re-derive and/or re-convince yourself using your solid foundational knowledge.
Memorization is great for quick recall, but often fades with time. If you truely understand the underlying whys of a certain formula, or concept you'll be way better off in the long run.
