		<description>@Joye - Yes, a great place to visit, not to live. As I&#039;ve blogged before, we can&#039;t get stuck in the past.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;@JR - As I&#039;ve told you before, I&#039;ve loved your recent posts. But that doesn&#039;t mean your previous posts weren&#039;t good; that just means that your newer posts are that much better. ;)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;@Melissa - In one of his books (either How To Win Friends And Influence People or How To Stop Worrying And Start Living -- unfortunately, I can&#039;t remember which one) Dale Carnegie told a story about a man who would sit in his office alone and reflect on his recent interactions and failed business proposals with others. He admitted that although it hurt to acknowledge his failures, the practice ultimately helped him to improve. Your comment echoes that priceless point.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;@Jean - Thank you so much for the compliment. Whenever I need an ego boost, I&#039;ll replay it in my mind. ;)</description>

		<description>I always get either a distinct thrill or repulsion from my old writing. I&#039;ve come a long way and have a long way to go in life... I&#039;m sort of glad I write so much to keep tabs because everything moves so fast and it&#039;s easy to forget. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nice post!</description>

		<description>As philosopher and writer George Santayana wrote, &quot;Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.&quot;  You don&#039;t want to keep making the same class of mistakes over and over again, and it&#039;s ironic how not reflecting on the past truly does cause one to bring those errors to the present day.  In thinking about this, it would seem that the lengths that some go to in an attempt to leave the past far behind can result in them reliving versions of it again and again.  Really, they are actually dwelling in that place far more than they ever would have wanted to.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, yes, I would agree that revisiting the past from time to time is a healthy exercise that helps us develop a perspective that serves as a guiding force, allowing us to break free from that cycle and reach new heights in our lives.</description>

		<description>Jake, a brief look backward is always good for introspection. But, just like the Mirror of Erised in the Harry Potter book series, looking backwards is a great place to visit, not to live.</description>

		<description>You might hesitate to call yourself a writer, Jake, but that&#039;s what you are. You write beautifully, and I always enjoy seeing what has come from that creative mind of yours. Some of my old stuff makes me cringe, by the way, but that&#039;s okay :)</description>
