Happy Halloween! For millennia, royals have claimed that their right to rule over the unwashed masses was granted to them by God. But a few have been associated with powers originating far south of heaven. Tonight I’ll share with you the spooky and salacious tales of the demon countess who spawned the bloodthirsty Plantagenet dynasty, an unholy canine who ferociously defended his master on the battlefield; A holy roman Emperor who was not very holy and performed black masses on his Empress’s naked body; and a Spanish king who underwent exorcisms in an attempt to rid himself of his terrible afflictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who was the original person to have said that historical people don't learn.

Even though we want to live in an ideal universe where everyone learns through history, it's not possible to learn more from our failures.

It's not better to try something wrong than to learn how to do it right.

The biggest mistake you can make is not ensuring that it goes right the first and only time.

Changes are inevitable, and you will eventually realize why you made them.

You may even find that you could do it better the second time.

It doesn't mean that you shouldn't continue to try. It means you've learned a lot.

Although you might not be able make every mistake, it is possible to minimize them. This is the difference that makes the difference of success and failure.

Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. Look at them objectively and ask: "What can I learn?"

When you're open with yourself, you will see that your failures are not failures. They're opportunities to grow.

Thomas Edison went through exactly the same thing. He failed many other times before he inventing the lightbulb.

He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he used each one as an opportunity to improve his design.

He also invented the most widely used form of lighting, which is still in use today.

So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your failures. Use them.

And then try again.


What can we learn by Abraham Lincoln's example?

Abraham Lincoln said that he was slow to learn, but quick to forget.

He was aware of the importance to continue learning, knowing that there would be a time when he would have to relearn his old habits and adopt new ones.

The same holds true for our businesses. We will hit roadblocks sometimes, and get stuck in unproductive ruts no matter how many times we plan for our success.

It is vital to continually learn and develop new skills. If we are to achieve the pinnacle, we must keep learning.

Lincoln had the right attitude. He knew that he could improve his business' effectiveness, but he couldn’t stop learning.

There are two types. There are two types of entrepreneurs: those who keep busy and those who stay sharp.

Those who stay busy focus solely on growing their business. They work on marketing strategies, product development, customer service, and other daily tasks.

Although they may feel they have achieved something significant, they often miss the mark. Entrepreneurs who aren't focused on learning more won't see sustainable growth.

What is the difference between successful entrepreneurs and average entrepreneurs? The ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances.

Successionable entrepreneurs look for ways that they can improve their products or services when faced with difficult situations.

On the other hand, average entrepreneurs cling to outdated methods that no longer work. They are unwilling to change their course of action until their business collapses.

You must be able to master both self-reflection and adaptation in order to succeed.


What lessons can be learned from history?

These are the three most important lessons that history has taught us. First, you must do it yourself when you change the world. Second, when you change how people live, you must ensure they're ready for it. Third, the future must be better if you want to change it.

The first lesson is to recognize that there are two options for changing the world. One is fight for it. You can lose sight of the reason you started fighting.

While you cannot control their reactions to your ideas or how they present them, you can influence how they are presented. If you attempt to convince someone of something, you'll fail. But if you set out to inspire someone to action, you'll succeed.

The idea of a great movement was born when someone had it and took action. So whether you're creating change or reacting to it, the best way to make your mark is to follow these three rules: Be clear about what you want, be honest about where you come from, and be brave enough to go where nobody else has gone before.

The second lesson is that each of us has a choice. You can either let your life happen or you can choose to make it happen. This means that it is up to us to decide how we want our lives to be. Do we expect someone else to let us live? Or do you want to be in control of your destiny?

I believe that we are living in the golden age. There are more possibilities than ever before, which has created a lot of excitement. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.

It can also cause problems. It's hard to know what you want.

Let's assume you want to purchase a house. You could either sit back and expect someone to gift you a Home Depot gift certificate. Or, you can ask yourself, "What do I love to be doing?" Find a job that will allow you to do it. Final step: Apply for financing.

Now, suppose you were to travel the world. Perhaps you are asking, "Where do i want to go?" Next, you might start saving money, looking up countries online, and talking to your friends. And finally, you'd book a flight.

Let's say that you don't have a clear idea of what you want. You would most likely do one of these things. By asking yourself such questions, you increase the likelihood of getting what your heart desires. This may seem absurd, but it works.

The third lesson is to never lose sight of the possibility of improving the future. It's easy. Your choices determine who you are and who you become.

The trick to success is to look back at history and learn from their mistakes and successes.

If you don’t believe you can offer anything, you’re already behind. You must believe you are better than you think you are.

If you don't know where to begin, start with what you know. Start small and then build on it. Think about what you've learned throughout your life. What have your failures been? What have you succeeded at? How did you overcome obstacles?

You are the only person who can limit what you can do. No matter what others say, you are capable of doing anything you set your mind to.

Benjamin Franklin said, "Nothing will be successful unless you do."


Do we have to learn history in order to avoid making the same mistakes as before?

History repeats itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes repeatedly. We fail to learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle to mediocrity.

The same old stories are what repeat history. We live in a world where we've been conditioned to believe that there are fixed truths and immutable laws. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.

This is a way to stop us from thinking critically. The ability to question authority. From challenging assumptions. We can't learn if we don’t challenge our assumptions. If we don't grow we stagnate. If we stagnate, then we make the exact same mistakes.

But history doesn't repeat itself because we make the same mistakes. History repeats because we refuse lessons from our mistakes and continue making them over and again.

By changing your outlook on the world and understanding that there is no set way, you can break the cycle. There is no set in stone. Everything is in constant flux.

Accepting uncertainty is the key to breaking this cycle. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. Accepting that failure may be possible. Accept that failure is possible.

Accept that you may not reach your goals. But to accept that, you should strive to improve anyway.

To hold on to the past is to be certain. If you believe there are only certain truths, it will be impossible to move forward.

You can't control your destiny. If you want to progress, you have to give up control.

How To

How did propaganda become marketing success?

The term "propaganda", as it is commonly known, was first used by Max Weber (1879), a German sociologist. He derived the term from the Greek "praopagos", meaning "to speak well." The Latin verb "propere", meaning "nearby" and "at hand", and the noun “agogos,” meaning "speech, discourse," are the origins of the term. It is a systematic attempt at shaping attitudes and behaviors.

George Orwell, a British journalist, wrote in his 1928 book, "Propaganda": "To understand propaganda's true nature, we need to realize that it does not have the intent to make people believe anything. It is only the intention of changing their beliefs...It is meant to make them accept one thing over another."

Edward Bernays (1891 –1955) was Sigmund Freud’s nephew. In 1922, he coined the term "public Relations". He believed that "the conscious, intelligent manipulation of organized habits and opinions is an important component of a democratic country." He established the public relations company "Bernays & Company" where he worked up to 1955.

Bernays invented an "engineering permission" technique, which allowed him to influence public opinion through publicity and advertising campaigns. His methods were later adopted by mass media outlets such as Time Magazine and CBS News. Bernays became a close collaborator with corporations and government agencies in order to influence public opinion after World War II. His clients included Johnson & Johnson and General Electric as well as Procter & Gamble and Coca-Cola.

His most famous client was the tobacco business. He assisted Philip Morris in launching a campaign to stop smoking. In 1939, the Surgeon General recommended that smoking should be banned inside. The Cigarette Advertising Act of 1965 was passed. This law prohibited any cigarette advertising in print media, such as magazines, newspapers, or television.

He also gave advice on how to deal during the Great Depression with the growing labor movement. Bernays advised that the president declare "war on Hunger" and use federal government's power in order to ensure adequate food. This strategy made it look like the government was a father figure and helped the president to win re-election in 36.

Bernays was a pioneer in the promotion of radio listening to increase sales. He also introduced the concept of "branding" and "advertising" in the early 1930s. He believed that customers could be motivated by appealing to their emotional side, and making them feel unique. He promoted the slogan, "Have I got what it takes?" In 1933, he encouraged women to purchase war bonds.

In 1944, he created a political action committee called "Young People for Freedom." This group was created to encourage Americans between the ages of 18 and 30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower won, in 1952, the presidency after Bernays' efforts.

Bernays convinced CIA to organize a coup in Iran in 1953. Shah Reza Pahlevi was replaced by Mohammad Mosaddegh. He justified this move as necessary to prevent Mosaddegh from nationalizing Iranian oil fields. After the coup, Bernays wrote articles praising the new regime as a "moderate," "progressive," and "modernized" one.

Bernays also received numerous awards throughout his career.
