　　As a famous saying goes, those who cannot learn from history are cloomed to repeat it. But, can the past really say something about the present, or even the future? Many people do believe that the past is a key to understanding the present and the future. However, I do not. I believe that lessons from the past are neither efficient nor useful in helping with the complicated issues of the present and the future.

　　First of all, methods from the past are not always efficient in solving present problems. Many time modern problems require a modern, unprecedented solution. Take Franklin D. Roosevelt, for example, who I believe saved America from the Great Depression and enlarged the power of federal government, used his own perspective to judge the current problems instead of taking his policy from ex-president Hoover. He established the New Deal, which I believe saved America from collapse. I think that if Roosevelt had followed the past, America would not have grown into a powerful country. Ignoring the past may help us to develop a new insight into a specific problem, which will eventually lead us to success. This reminds us that the experience of the past is not always useful.

　　In the second place, learning the past is useless in handling new problems connected with scientific advancement. Many new technologies regularly enter our world with the continuous development of science and technology, but the present technical problems that cannot be solved through historical experience. In our time, Steve Jobs designed the iPhone. If a device like the iPhone is broken, it is impossible for us to repair it by looking up historical records. Consequently, always concentrating on methods offered by the past can be invalid in processing new technical problems. In other words, understanding the current situation is more meaningful and useful than searching through the past.

　　This is not to say there is no reason to study history. Many people believe that reading about history can be extraordinarily inspiring. They argue that many great ideas have come from reflections on history. However, learning to understand the current situation can also bring a wealth of enlightenment. What is more, people may find more purposeful solutions when paying more attention to the current situation.

　　To sum up, I believe that a review of history cannot help in overcoming the difficulties we meet at present and will meet in the future.
