When you actually bother to sit down and examine each stage of your existence you suddenly realise how much you've been through. So many chapters, each one remarkably unique in its own right.
For example, about a year ago at this time I was doing cell culture at IBN. Go back a couple years more and I was probably cleaning my rifle or something in BMT.
Then you look at your current self and realise that you are the distillation of all these experiences, that this was the same person that went through all those phases. Then you marvel at how life is such a gift, that it allows us to experience all these things, and you congratulate yourself for making it so far, and wonder about the wonders that lie ahead.
Then you go back to doing your mechanics problem sheet, as I am about to do so right now.

well i agree its good to reminisce what you've been through. But the crux of the matter is to ask ourselves how much of our past we have actually processed and have we really evolved with time?. How many of our past lessons have we truly learnt? Has our past really shaped who we are today? Or do we constantly regress and still end up as the same person, and is that a good thing?
