the farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are like to see.

the more distant and pure the source, the more we can find our future direction. Reading the 5,-year history of China, no matter whether it is the sage atmosphere full of awe-inspiring spirit or the heroic and heroic appearance of great men, there are all great ambitions and great achievements that are in contact with the spirit of heaven and earth; What's more, the free and unrestrained celebrity romantic, the chic and mysterious recluse, the arrogant and even arrogant Zen master Gao Dao can be called the peak of independent will, reaching the height of romantic life.

To understand this sentence from the perspective of personal development, we can refer to the following points:

First, the premise of development is to fully know yourself, and the main way to know yourself is to correctly look at yourself in the past, summarize and draw lessons from it. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once said that "taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall". We can grasp the future development trend by correctly understanding history and summing up the laws from it.

second, on the basis of a comprehensive understanding of self, summarize the past experiences and lessons, find out their own shortcomings and deficiencies, and improve themselves.

Third, when setting personal short-term goals and long-term goals, you should not aim too high, but be down-to-earth according to your own situation.

in a word, the phrase "as far as you can see the past, you can see the future" warns us that only when we have a correct understanding of our past can we grasp our future, whether in individuals, enterprises or countries.
