From my point of view, the more people know about the past, the more effectively they work out the present problem or future problem. Because people are always able to learn something from the past, which not just allows them to avoids repeating the mistake, but help them with the problems of the present or future. And more details are to be stated in two aspects.
On a personal level, as is well known, human beings may be the only creature in the world who keep learning. And they are willing to spend most of their time researching the past, as it is quite beneficial to their present problems. So if anyone wishes to crack everyday's problems, the best way is probably to look back to see if anything could help him or her. I want to take my personal experience for example, if there is anything i am proud of, that must be my capability of mathematical problems. The reason, on the one hand, is that every time when some new or complicated problems come to me, i choose to check out the problems i have solved before, hoping to find a rule inside related with some of them. As most problems have their inside rules, once i grasp them, the similar problems could be done with no effort. On the other hand, regularly taking a look at the problems to which i once gave wrong answers, i could learn a lesson, which ensure me not to make the same mistake again. In a word, that is one of many benefits I get from the past, and I am very enjoying learning from the past.
On a social level, it is always that case when the governments or groups want to dissolve some problems. Since there are a lot of things of the past deserving people's attentions on their references to the present problems. The typical example is that nothing is more important than a good strategy for any company. The present, "the art of war", written by a Chinese strategist two thousand years ago, is very popular among many top 500 corporations all over the world. Many people perhaps wonder why a book regarding all kinds of strategies in the battle is capable of being applied to the business world. It is not difficult to answer, given that they have much in common. As an old saying goes, the business world is just like the battle field. When the company is in trouble, some strategies in the book may help it out. Besides, some other strategies may help the leader come up with good ideas, making the company more competitive than other ones. It was said that one of the world's biggest corporation, Micro software, asked its each employee to read this book, in the hope of making everyone more adaptable to the fierce competition.
Admittedly, it is no good to doing anything too far, which means if people reply the past too much, It might produce the opposite the result what people would suppose. After all, there are no two things that are exactly the same, when people want to solve the problem, lots of factors should be taken into consideration. The people, the place, as well the background may be different from the past. Some successful cases might be not working with the today. So totally copying the past would not make it work.
To sum up, i see much need to understand the past, in order to resolve the problems. The past is a large pool of resource, some of which people can make best use of; the past is a mirror, which reflect people's weakness and mistakes. But overemphasis on the past is also not wise, people are suppose to learn from the past but copy the success in the past.
