Issue103"The study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives."
Word: 511 Time: 80minute
Does the study of history have any value to our own lives? The author believes it does have value, but only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives. I agree with the author on the former part; however, in my opinion, the study of history has a far great value besides what the author says. Through the study of history, we can become wiser and get inspiration from it.

It is true that the study of history which is relevant to our daily lives is helpful to our own lives. We can get experiences through the study and avoid making the same mistakes. Also, the history can guide us to do things that we have never done before. For example, scientists know what should be avoided by the study of previous failing experiments. And the king could learn how to rule his nation through studying the history of the kingdom, which makes him known what dissatisfies the mass and endangers his power. In this sense, the study of history does have value to us.

However, the author ignores the fact that we can become wiser by learning history which has nothing to do with our daily lives. On the one hand, as we all know, the life of one man is limited, and he can not experience all things in a single life. So if one wants to learn things that are not relevant to his or her daily life, the only way is to learn them from the history. On the other hand, although it is almost impossible that we may come into a situation that is the same as it once was in history, we can get enlightenment from similar situations. In either case, the history makes us wiser.

Besides, the history can give us support to our own growing. There is no person who has never met frustrations or failures through out his or her life. When we meet frustrations or failures in our own lives, sometimes we just lack the courage to go on-the whole life seems hopeless. But if we compare our frustrations and failures with those of some famous people in history, ours become quite insignificant. It is their successes that inspire us to struggle on and on. How many people have ever been inspired by the story of Napoleon? And how many people have gained power from the success of Lincoln? Their lives differ greatly from ours, but the effect they have on ours is incalculable.

To sum up, I agree with the author that the study of history which is relevant to our daily lives does have value; however, the author mistakenly ignores the effect of the study of history that has nothing to do with our daily lives. We should not limit us only to learn the history relevant to our lives, but also that can be helpful to us. By doing so, we can not only get more information that can makes us wiser, but also inspiration that can encourage us to struggle on for our aims.
