Sometimes in spite of having everything in life, a person starts feeling lonely in the world.
Therefore
, he evokes with stronger zeal to know about his family lineage. Because he feels that it can be beneficial for his inheritance.
However
, certain people and I argue that it is crucial to give more focus on the present and
future
 because by living in the present
one
 can create the desired
future
 enabling inspiration to the world. Desire to connect with family and to know their core identity, some people try to find out their family history. When an individual has a question about his existence and feelings of unwantedness from society, makes more effort to dig out the past of his roots. Evidently, the abandoned child, if raised in an orphanage might struggle to find a heart of compassion and a true blood relationship. It becomes his only wish to come up with satisfying ground where he can attain a sense of worthiness
as well as
 help him build his self-esteem.
However
, whatever has bygone, is unchangeable.
Thus
,
one
 should not emphasis on looking for that. Having these in mind, the present holds paramount significance because by concentrating on
future
 goals and by implementing thoughts into action
one
 can definitely transform the
future
. It means
one
 only should believe in self-function, which can be acquired through intense hard work and determination. Take 'Jack Ma' as an example, who faces enormous failure but ultimately, becomes the most motivated person globally.
Also
, to pay back to the society where he achieved his sense of belonging, created a means of job for co-civilians to show his gratitude towards them and leave his own imprint on the timeline for his upcoming generation.
Thus
, the present is more precious than the past.
However
, by being aware of personal family history,
one
 can strengthen his existence if it is positive if it has any dark side, that can be intolerable.
Therefore
, I wholeheartedly believe that
one
 should focus more on the present and
future
 rather than worrying and wasting time searching for the past.
