What is History

What is history? According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, chronological record of significant of

events (such as those affecting a nation or institution) often including an explanation of their causes.
Past relevantly affects us. Our past influences us to what decisions we will made and what character we
build for ourselves.

According to article of Inner Harmony Hypnosis, How our past affects our present, when a
current situation, incident or event in our present lives resonates with a past situation, incident or
event, we instantly have flashbacks. Those specific stored memories, thoughts, emotions and feelings
are energized, and they resonate forward into our present.

My past is full of emotion and adventures. It makes me wonder why I still like solitude. Maybe
I’m bored of social interaction. I finally thought about it, my unnecessary actions on my past, I will not
repeat it or the likes of it in order to make a proper decision for my actions shaping future. Events that
leaves you scar makes you stronger. When I transfer from private school to public school, my decisions
where not delicately thought that’s why my actions led to embarrassment. After a series of
embarrassing event, I decided to lay low. Actions speaks louder than words.

According to Li-Jun Ji, How do the past and the future influence your present, paying attention
to the past and future has important implications, one of which is self-continuity. If you perceive your
past and future as closer to the present, you will be more likely to perceive your past, present, and
future selves as more similar. That is exactly what we have found. Due to their broader temporal
focus—their tendency to attend to the past and future—Chinese participants reported a higher sense of
self-continuity over time than Euro-Canadians did.

The way you now are means you have gone through series of trial and error, bunch of hurdles
and obstacle and loads of challenges, but, positively saying, you have surpass it and complete it. The way
you are now are shaped by your actions and decisions of your past. In the future, what you decide now
and what you do now molds it.
