Summary/Abstract: Those who lived before us do not live only in our memories but also in everything they left as the inheritance, material and spiritual. It depends on us if we will reject their heritage or preserve it and find valuable “pearls” in it, which can be our life salvation. Today, especially young generations favor rejecting and forgetting such values. If the connection with past time was broken in the name of false “modernism and contemporariness”, entire work of our ancestors would be forgotten. Therefore it is necessary to act educationally how frequenters could recognize the life values. It is necessary to encourage the thing which they posses in themselves. Time spirit interwoven through natural sciences and connected with working orientations can give love and respect to that which existed before us and help the individual to feel that he is a part of “wider community”, warm home “nest” and not only from those who are living at the moment, but also, as A. Finkielkraut says, from those who lived before us. Every individual is free to express his positive personality through his potentials, and every community should endeavor to achieve better results and encourage constant social improvement among its population. Preserving the heritage should be an integral process of education which will be promoted by the educator. Interwoven with nature and work, it will be an important segment of knowing how to inherit professional competences.
