Do Memories hinder or help people in their effort?
Living your life to reach success, you use your wisdom and instinct to find your achievement. Although Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot said, "You must forget about your past and relinquish it." I disagree, as we grow up, we find ourselves and gain our knowledge, and wisdom from past experiences. We are who we are, with whatever hang-ups and repressions, we find what we do to better ourselves as a person.
Therefore, memories do help people in their effort to learn from the past to succeed to the future. We have memories for a reason, the more knowledge and experience we receive, the wiser we get over time, for life decisions we are put through. It's the power of the mind that makes us successful. From personal experience, if it wasn't from what I learned, I would not be in the right place I am in now. Only the wise get far in life, while others look for wisdom to achieve a fuller life.
