I love history. You can spend too much time there but all in all it holds lots of lessons IF you pay attention to whose point-of-view it was written from. Remember, history is always written by the winners. Not necessarily who was right. Personal history can be a tricky thing though. I see it as my limitations. What am I not doing because of my past? But I’m weird that way.
