The past and our expectations for the future have a very strong impact on our current actions. This impact is extremely important for our actions to be carried out with responsibility and rationality because they will change our lives in an intense way.
First of all it is important to say that the past shows us where we went wrong and where we got it right, in addition to showing how our mistakes and successes were influential in our environment. Through the past we learned how to act in the present, either because we don't want to repeat mistakes, or because we want to optimize our hits. The future also interferes with our actions in the present, because we want the future to be good, grand and comfortable, so we act with that goal.
