See Queen Elizabeth's Tiaras NOW at https://www.patreon.com/LindsayHoliday
You can’t be a King without the bling, and you can’t be a Queen without the sheen. Royal women have long donning glittering headgear to make them stand out from the crowd. Tiaras are works of art and are fitted with pricey diamonds, pearls and other precious stones. As these heirlooms are often passed down female family lines it is fascinating to see how they bounced across Europe with royal brides. Today, let's gawk at 7 of the most impressive and historic European royal Tiaras.
Empress Josephine’s Cameo Tiara
Norwegian Emerald Parure Tiara
Stuart Tiara
Fleur-de-Lys “La Buena” Tiara
Prussian Diamond Tiara
Tsarina Alexandra’s Pearl and Diamond Diadem Khedive of Egypt Tiara

Frequently Asked Questions
Who originally said those who don't learn from history?
While we all would love to live in an ideal world that everyone learns from past mistakes, it is not possible to learn from our own mistakes.
It's not better to try something wrong than to learn how to do it right.
The most serious mistake is to try to make it right the first go.
As long as you keep making improvements, you'll eventually understand why you made those changes.
It is possible to discover that you could have done things better the first time around.
You shouldn't give up on trying again. That's a sign that you have learned a lot.
While you may not be able avoid making mistakes, there are ways to minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes begins the process. Then look at them objectively and ask yourself: "What did I learn?"
Your mistakes will only be lessons if your honesty is honest. They can be used as opportunities to grow.
Thomas Edison had to go through the exact same thing. He failed many times before he finally invented the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. He used every failure as an opportunity to improve the design.
And over time, he invented the most popular form of lighting today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Take advantage of them.
Then, try again.
What lessons can be learned from history?
History has taught us three important lessons. The first is that you have to do it yourself if you want to change the world. You must make sure people are ready to change the way they live. Third, when you change the future, you have to make it better.
The first lesson is that you can change the world in two ways. One is fight for it. It is easy to lose sight of why you started a fight in the first place when you are focusing on winning.
While you cannot control their reactions to your ideas or how they present them, you can influence how they are presented. If you want to persuade someone, you'll eventually fail. But, if your goal is to inspire someone to act, you'll be successful.
Every great movement began with someone who had an idea and decided that they would act on it. You can create change or respond to it. The best way to do this is to be clear and honest about your goals, where you are coming from, and to be bold enough to take the initiative to go places no one has 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 we must decide what kind of life we want to lead. Is it better to decide what kind of life we want or wait for someone else? Or do you want to be in control of your destiny?
I think we're living a golden time right now. 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 take, for example, the desire to purchase a house. You could wait and see if someone gives you Home Depot gift certificates. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" Look for a job which allows you to do that. Finally, apply for financing.
Now let's imagine you wanted to travel around the world. Now, you might wonder "Where would I like to go?" Next, you might start saving money, looking up countries online, and talking to your friends. The final step is to book a flight.
Now, let's say you didn't know what you wanted. You'd likely end up doing one of these things anyway. You can increase your chances to get what you want by asking these questions. It might seem ridiculous, but it's true.
And the third lesson is that no matter what happens next, you can always improve the future. This is because it's simple. Your choices influence who you are and what you become.
It is important to take inspiration from past experiences, learn from mistakes and succeed until you are successful.
If you don’t feel you have any value to the world, you are already behind. You have to believe in yourself.
You don't need to know everything in order to start. Start small and go from there. Think about what you've learned throughout your life. What are you most proud of? What are you proud of? What have you done to overcome obstacles?
You are the only person who can limit what you can do. No matter what anyone says, you can do anything you put your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin wrote, "Nothing works unless you do."
What is the most important lesson you can learn from history?
This question is not easy to answer. There are three things to keep in mind when learning. First, we must realize that knowledge is power. Second, it is important to recognize that knowledge is cumulative. The third is to be aware of how quickly knowledge can change.
Knowledge is power. Because it empowers people to make better decisions. Perfect information would make it easy to make informed decisions. We would always do exactly what we wanted without worrying about whether it was right or wrong.
Knowledge is power, but it can also be cumulative. This means that we add knowledge to our brains every time we learn something. As we get smarter, our brains become more sophisticated. Knowledge accumulates.
Now, let's look at the third point. Knowledge is not static. Knowledge is always changing. Scientists learn new facts and theories every day. Discoveries are made all the time.
Technology allows us to quickly access knowledge, and is crucial for our culture. Technology allows you to store massive amounts of data in digital format and share them with millions of people all over the world.
Globalization has influenced the way we look at knowledge, in addition to technology. Globalization refers simply to the process by which ideas or products spread beyond borders. Globalization has made knowledge accessible to everyone.
The internet enables anyone to access information anywhere in the world. You can surf the internet, read books, listen to music and play video games. All these activities require knowledge.
Knowledge is becoming more accessible but also more specialized. For example, if you go online today, you'll find hundreds of thousands of websites offering advice on topics such as health, finance, business, cooking, sports, and travel. These websites offer information on almost every topic you can think of.
You'll find only a few sites that offer automotive-related services or products if your goal is to purchase a car online. Instead of thousands of sites covering every possible topic, there will be only a handful of sites that are focused on cars.
This specialization is because experts in particular fields can create and distribute valuable knowledge. Experts often have a deep knowledge of a particular area. Experts are also capable of producing high-quality content targeted at their audience.
This is great news for consumers as they no longer have to search through a lot of useless information. Instead, they can focus on a small number of sites with lots of useful content.
Specialization is also a benefit for experts, who can create strong businesses around their expertise. If someone purchases a book, they expect the author to be an expert in his field and to present a clear and concise explanation. He expects the author to understand his message.
An expert who isn't a specialist risks losing customers who are expecting him to be one.
There are many areas of expertise. Most people are experts in multiple areas today. We might be an accountant, a lawyer, a doctor, or a teacher. However, we are likely to be parents, spouses, friends and fans.
Experts say it is common to specialize.
So how do you become an expert in multiple areas? The answer is simple: practice. It's necessary to work hard to learn. When you start to make progress, it's important to keep going until your skills are recognized by others.
Many industries today are dedicated to helping others accomplish this goal. You can learn how to quickly acquire knowledge through workshops, seminars, conferences and schools.
What do our mistakes teach us?
Make mistakes, but don't fret about them. It's a learning experience that will help you to improve your skills. You can also learn from your mistakes. You shouldn't stress about the small details. We all make mistakes.
You might feel embarrassed if you've made a mistake, but it doesn't matter whether you feel bad. It's how you deal with your mistakes that matters most. You will let your mistakes bother you. If you look at them as opportunities for growth, they'll make you stronger.
It is important to recognize and learn from your mistakes. Focus on the next step and don't dwell on the past. Keep moving.
Do not obsess about your mistakes. Instead, find ways to improve. Learn from your mistakes, and you will be a better person tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Made by Accident
Inventors make mistakes. But how we respond to those mistakes determines whether our inventions become great successes or failures.
It is a fact that invention does not happen by accident. Every invention was done intentionally. There are no accidental inventions.
Invention is an intentional act. It is an intentional decision to create something. Something that solves an issue. Someone's quality of life will be improved.
To be successful inventing is to understand that nothing happens by chance. Instead of trying to avoid making mistakes, learn from them.
We would love to tell you that invention is simple, but it's not. Invention takes persistence and hard work. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
You will need to spend a lot time thinking about ideas and problems. What are people concerned about? What do they require?
Ask yourself these questions. These questions will help determine what product or service you should create next.
This is possible only if you let go any preconceived notions. Any assumptions about what the world wants or needs. Listen carefully to potential and actual customers.
Learn what they really want. They are not what they say they want.
Once you understand what they want, you must devise a method to deliver it. This is where invention begins.

How To
Accidental Inventions Lead to Penicillin Discovery
How did penicillin come into existence?
Penicillin was discovered accidentally when Alexander Fleming noticed mold growing on some bacteria cultures he had left out. He believed that the mold could kill the bacteria so he searched for something to destroy it.
He discovered penicillin kills mold and realized that the new drug could also fight bacteria-related infections. Penicillin was a major medical breakthrough. It saved millions lives and changed forever the course of medicine.
At first, Alexander Fleming didn't know that his finding would be so important. Nobody else did. Penicillin would prove to be an extremely powerful antibiotic.
Before World War II, scientists didn't know penicillin was effective against bacterial infection. The U.S. Army wanted to know if Dr. Fleming could use penicillin for soldiers suffering from infections with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming consented to try.
Penicillin was found to be effective against many different types of infection. Penicillin was an invaluable lifesaver for wounded soldiers in World War II. It saved many lives and helped doctors continue their work after the war.
Dr. Fleming was not prepared for his discovery to have such profound effects. He just wanted to ensure mold didn't grow on the bacteria cultures he used to study. But he couldn’t see how such an easy experiment would lead to such a simple medical breakthrough.
Many of the discoveries that are made each day don't seem like they add up to anything remarkable. They are experiments performed for no particular reason.
You can see how even seemingly small experiments can have a profound impact on the course of history.
The most important discoveries are those that seem to have absolutely nothing in common. Penicillin was discovered. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
Invention does not happen simply because someone thinks up a brilliant idea. Because someone has a problem. And then, they solve that problem through experimentation.
