A lot to learn from History….
History teaches us about what happened… the people, the circumstances, the events!
History is very important to know, for you learn what worked and what didn’t, how great things were done, which circumstances had to be weathered and which ones were leveraged… It talks about who did what and who they interacted with.
It is important to know what to focus on as you learn history. If the focus is on people and dates, you are probably missing the point.
There are cultures that suffer from the problem of over glorifying people.
Extremely generous use of words for every single little act or deed of his, erecting statues of that person at every corner, building temples, holding conferences only to speak of that person and to glorify him….
History is very important, and there are people creating history everyday, right in front of our eyes.
You can choose to focus on the person or on the event.
It’s not bad to take someone for your idol for a period. But the fact is, you are not him… You never will be!
What you could do is re-create history… in your own way!
