“We all experience life in three phases: the past, the present, and the future. I must examine the past in order to apprehend how to conduct my present affairs, and from the present learn how to create a more enlightening future. William Wordsworth, an English Romantic poet and Britain’s Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death in 1850 said, ‘Life is divided into three terms – that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present to live better in the future.”
