Напишите сочинение по английскому на тему stories from the past

I really like when my father start telling me some good old stories from the past. There is always a lot of really useful stuff in them, that I can relate to my everyday life. I think that it's a very good way to learn about living in this world, because you can think twice about all the mistakes, that people in the past did, and so it isn't necessary for you to repeat them now. And sometimes those stories can motivate you to do something, that you want to, even more courageous.
