Tennyson is talking about how everything Ulysses has done in life is now a part of him. All of his adventures and everything that has happened to him will always be with him no matter what. People may or may not remember him for what he has done but even if he forgets it will always be with him. He will be remembered for the things he has done in the past and for what he is going to do. Ulysses went on many adventures because he thought life was boring if he just stood still and didnt do anything fun. The adventures he took will always be with him because thats what he enjoyed doing, instead of just sitting around being bored. I took the poem as telling people to not care about what others think, just live life the way you want to live it.
I can relate this to my own life because people will remember me from the things that I have done. And no matter how bad or how good those things were thats how people will remember me. Those things will always be with me. Even if I forget the things I have done, other people may not. The things that I have done may be how somebody first heard of me, and that will be with them forever. I may not even know the person and thats what they will think of when they hear my name. The things that I do in the past is what makes up my life. Even what I do in the future thats what makes life, life. Life should be full of having fun and enjoying life, not just sitting around boring yourself and feeling sorry for yourself. It doesnt matter what other people think, because the things I do in my life will always be with me and thats what makes life fun.
