The Importance of History

Everything that is in our minds die when we die. Whatever is left of our thoughts, either from the written word, memories of those still living, indirect evidence from clues we left behind, those are the stuff of history. History is the shared knowledge of real people great and small that came before.

Knowledge is power.

Donald Trump writes:

Give some thought to your roots and why you're doing whatever it is you're doing today. It's a good way to start thinking for yourself - and it's likely no one else but you will come up with the right answers.
