one's mind serves right/ correct
Explanation:
Здравейте,

Моето предложение е следното:

His mind is not fast and does not serve him right.

Мисля, че така не звучи зле, но пак зависи от останалия контекст.

Надявам се да съм успяла да помогна. Успех!

disagree  Sylvio Peshev: Right и correct предполагат някакъв точен резултат, което за памет не е много подходящо. И аз съм за well в този контекст, освен ако в текста няма упоменаване на конкретна ситуация.

disagree  Vladimir Georgiev: it certainly serves him right to have a slow mind and poor memory :-)
