When we survey our lives and efforts we soon observe that......

Answer 1

When  we think about our lives and our efforts, we can find things that we have done that shaped who we are today. The things that you have done in the past has changed you into who you are, your own unique self.

For example: If you made a bad decision, and learned from it then you now know a better way to do it.           If you made a bad decision and did not learn from it, then you will keep going back and doing it more.

This can also be good things as well, for example; If you did something good and noticed it made someone happy, then you would probably do that more to make the other person feel happy.          If you did something good and did not notice that it made other people happy, then you might not do it very often.
