Who I've Been Makes Who I Am
A quote I came across in Dachau (formerly a WWII concentration camp, now a memorial) went: "We are creating the background history for tomorrow". We do that both collectively as a whole, and also on an individual basis. This is why the study of history, both personal and collectively, is so important to understanding who we are and where we're going. I unfortunately have a pretty bad memory, especially on personal events (I think this is partly because I'm very forward-looking). One of my goals this year is to develop a discipline for recollection/reflection, even if this starts with asking myself "what did I do 2 days ago?" So take a moment and recall: what did you do two days ago??
Check out some of the "Year in Pictures" collections that recently came out. Some really encapsulate the significance of major global events of 2006, others are simply amazing captures. Enjoy and Happy New Year! ^_^
