knowing about the past cannot help people to make important decision today.

Past has a very important part in our life.It provides us with experience with myriad fields and situations.It is tendency of every human being that they always try not to repeat their mistakes from past and use that learning in making decisions in present.More or less, I disagree with the author's statement.

Firstly, taking the example of famous scientist Thomas Alva Edison who invented the light bulb, perhaps it was only achieved by him after a lot of unsuccessful attempts teaching him about his mistakes and helping him to rectify them.

Secondly, Wright Brothers inventors of the airplane, one of the greatest inventions for the humankind did not succeed without several failures.They used the knowledge that the got from their past mistake and invented a better plane.

On the other hand, It is not necessary that past experience will help a person in his present decision , considering the case of, India and Pakisthan both have been in tension with each other about their boundary conflicts and have been into couple of wars, still both the nations are not able to come up with a concording decision.

To sum up,it is very helpful to have knowledge about your past which can be helpful for your decisions in present.

Knowing about the past cannot help people to make important decision today.

As human being,we have three phrase in life, past, present and future.One thing is certain
no one is perfect. One thing is to make mistake, another is to realise your mistakes and make adjustment or important decision that will help you in future.our mistake in the past can certainly help teach us a lesson and also help us make an important decision in life. Therefore, i disagree with the above statement.

First, your mistake in the past is an essencial material for learning for the wise if am to say. As the saying goes experience is the best teacher.it is your past that give you an experience to make an outline in future.For instance,when someone want to do a thing,either to embark on a project or a business, an experience person gave out his advice and the person concerned did not adhere to the advice,when he fails on the project or business he will definitely learn from it. in order words, the idea of learning from the past and applying it to the current situation will help stop further mistake and also help make progress in the future.

Second, most decisions people make could be from their past which could be good or bad.some maybe one not having good knowledge of what he has done. however, past experience is helpful thus the successful ones should be apply in current situation and we should try as much as we can to eliminate the bad ones. For instance, the experience i had with my neighbour about borrowing money from me and would not want to pay back even when she has the money ,and when asked it becomes a big problem between two of us, i now made a decision not to lend her money again.

In summary, history has a lot to teach us and to help us make a decision that will help arrange or make an outline that will benefit us towards achieving our inspirations in future. Neverthe less, we should not forget that every situation is different no matter how close or similar they maybe.We should handle our situation with carefulness and make relevant plans for future.

Pls could someone correct my essay. this is my first time of been here.
i will appreciate it.

In body paragraphs, you must first explain the reason why you support that position in the argument. Then you must support that reasoning with a specific example, as you have done above.

For example;
First, the mistakes happened in the past provides great insights for people in their continuous efforts towards success. Take Thomas Alva Edison for example. He had lots of unsuccessful attempts that taught him many lessons being finally successful with inventing the light bulb.

your essay is great. you should divide into three paragraph, if so, reeder easily view and more attracted

Thanks for the correction Pahan and Titana.
