People lead their lives with different values. Although many people think that the present is the most valuable moment in their lives, I believe that the past is an important facor which makes the present more valuable.Therefore, I disagree with this statement.
First of all, the present cannot exist without the past. The past has a great effect on our lives in the present;since, the present is the result from events which happend in the past. An example for this is the development of cellphones.A few years ago,we were surprised about portable phones which made possible to be communicative everywhere. Nowadays, we can't not imagine our lives without the cellpones: it is used not only by talking to other people,but also by listening the music, talking pictures, sending e-mails and watching DVDs. Likewise, the innovation fo technology in the past enables the life in the present more convenient.
In addition, experiences in the past help lead better life in the present. Since our lives are made of full of problems and obstacles, we can learn how to overcome problems from mistakes in the past. I personally try not to make same mistakes again; therefore, when I make difficult decision, I look back my expereinces which i underwent in the past, then I can achieve better results than ones in the past.
In short, I believe that learning about the past benefits our lives in the present. It is because the past is the accumulation of our expereinces from the past. Therefore, we should live every moment valuable which will become the past in the future. |
