People
believe that history is very important and we must study the past to understand
the present. Others say that it has little or no use at all. Discuss both
views, give your opinion and support it with relevant examples.

History
is an elaborate narration of all the past activities, failures and successes. I
strongly opine that learning about the past is very important for us to live in
present and plan for tomorrow. Past happenings are the lessons for present and
future. There is of course no point in brooding over the past mistakes or
misfortunes. However to learn not to repeat those mistakes is most important.
History builds a very vital and important data base
that is used as a reference in present for our present and future ventures.
Past record of a project gives idea to the executors of a similar new project
as to how to proceed with project execution. Furthermore in an industrial
establishment, past record of accidents and fire hazards gives idea for
prevention of reoccurrences. This also gives an idea as to what measures should
be taken and what material and equipments must be provided and made readily
available for the safety of men, material and money the three most important
assets termed in the management. (3M)
To say that History is unimportant is absolutely wrong.
As a matter of fact, past history is the most valuable data base, without which
our performance and success in present and future are impossible. Hence
learning about past is most important.
In conclusion, the life is too short to experience
everything by own self hence dependence on past and experience of others is
most important. This makes the History paramount importance, Secondly it has
been very validly explained in a quotation by David C. McCullough; that
“History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and
why we are the way we are”. Therefore History is most important.
