Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree?

Some people prefer to use their experiences to make the future better, others believe that experiences in the past aren't important for their present time or future.

But I think the past and its experiences create the present and the future.I strongly disagree with the statement that learning about the past has no value for the present.There are numerous reasons why I hold no confidence on this. 
For an instance, if you made a wrong decision in the past and walked into a wrong way, you've made some experiences about it undoubtedly. Now you know the reasons of your wrong decision, so if you face with the same situation, you would make a better decision and you wouldn't repeat your mistakes.
As another example, a student  is successful when he/she doesn't repeat previous mistakes and reviews his/her errors to learn the correct answers.

Experiences are like good teachers for people and help them to find and choose a better way in their lives. 
A successful person is someone who have gained valuable information from the past and never do something wrong for the second time.

Taking into account of all these factors, we may reach this conclusion that valuable experiences in the past assure a more fulfilled life for people, if they use them correctly.
There is a quote that says ," The past is history, future is a mystery, today is a gift. That's why we call it the present ".
So we should make the our present life with learning about the past.

  1. For supporting evidences/sentences starting with "For instance", we shouldn't put them on a separate paragraph like that.

    Secondly, we should change from "for an instance" to "for instance"

    Thanks
