Frequently Asked Questions
What can we learn from history to avoid repeating past errors?
History repeats itself because we keep making the same mistakes again and again. We do not learn from our failures. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History repeats itself because we believe the same old stories. We are conditioned to believe in immutable truths and immutable rules. They cannot be changed.
This is a way to stop us from thinking critically. From challenging authority. Challenge assumptions. And when we don't question, we don't grow. If we don't grow we stagnate. When we stagnate we make the same mistakes again and again.
History doesn't repeat itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes. History repeats itself because we don't learn from our errors and keep making the same mistakes.
Change your perception of the world and yourself to stop the cycle. Nothing is fixed. Everything is subject to constant flux.
Uncertainty is key to breaking the cycle. Accept that things might go wrong. To accept the possibility of failure. To accept that failure is a possibility.
Accept the fact that you might not reach your goals. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.
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.
To achieve freedom, you must be open to change. You can't control progress unless you let go.
What do our mistakes teach us?
Don't be too concerned about making a mistake. It's an opportunity to learn. You'll learn something. Even more important, you can correct any mistakes you make. Don't fret about the little stuff, because mistakes are okay. They happen to all of us.
Even though you may feel embarrassed after making a mistake it doesn't mean you have to feel guilty. It's the way you deal with your mistakes which matters most. If you allow them to get in the way of your growth, they will eventually eat away at your inner self. But if you view them as opportunities for growth, you'll come out stronger on the other side.
Recognize and move on from a mistake. This is the best way to learn from it. Focus on the next step and don't dwell on the past. Keep moving.
Don't dwell on your mistakes. Instead, try to find ways to improve. Learn from your mistakes and become better tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Created by Accident
Inventors make mistakes. But how we respond to those mistakes determines whether our inventions become great successes or failures.
When it comes to invention, there are no accidents. Every invention was planned. There are no accidental inventions.
An invention can be described as a deliberate act. Intentionally making something new. Something that solves the problem. It makes someone's life easier.
However, the key to creating a successful invention is understanding how nothing happens by accident. Instead of trying avoidable mistakes, learn from them.
We would love to tell you that invention is simple, but it's not. Invention is hard work that requires persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
That means you must spend a lot of time thinking about problems and ideas. What do people care about? What do they need?
These are questions that you should ask yourself. These questions will help you decide what type of product or service to develop next.
You must let go of all preconceived notions. You should not make assumptions about the world's needs or wants. You need to pay attention to the needs of your potential customers and customers.
Learn what they really want. You must learn what they really want.
Once you have figured out their needs, you need to find a way to make it happen. This is where invention comes in.
What is the most important thing you should know about history?
There is no easy answer to this question. However, there are three main points to consider when thinking about learning. The first is to realize that knowledge can be power. We must also recognize the fact that knowledge is cumulative. Third, it is important to recognize how rapidly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power because it empowers us to make better decisions and improve our lives. If we had complete information, we wouldn't have any difficulty making decisions. We'd do what we want, without worrying about whether it was correct or not.
Knowledge, although it is power, is also cumulative. This means that after we've acquired knowledge, we continue to learn more. We become more and more intelligent as time goes by. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now turn our attention to the third. Although knowledge is cumulative it doesn't remain static for very long. Information is constantly changing. Every day scientists discover new facts, theories, ways of thinking. Each day new discoveries are made.
Our culture depends heavily on technology, which makes it possible to have instant access to knowledge. Technology makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in digital form and share it among millions of people worldwide.
Globalization is changing the way that we view technology. Globalization is the process by which ideas and products spread across borders. Knowledge is now available everywhere because of globalization.
Access to information from anywhere on the planet is possible thanks to the internet. Anybody can access the internet to read, watch movies, listen and play music, as well as surf the net. Knowledge is required for all of these activities.
Knowledge is becoming more available, but it is also becoming more niche. You can find thousands of websites that offer advice on subjects such as finance, health, business, sports, and travel. These sites offer information on nearly every topic possible.
If you want to buy a car online, however, you will likely only find a few dozen websites that provide automotive-related services. There will not be thousands of sites that cover every subject. You'll only find a handful of sites that specialize in cars.
This is because experts can create and share valuable information in their particular fields. Experts often have a deep understanding of a particular field. They're also able to produce high-quality content that's targeted toward their specific audience.
Because they don't have to look through tons of unimportant information, this is a good thing for consumers. Instead, they can concentrate on a few sites that have lots of useful content.
Experts also have the advantage of specialization. They can build strong businesses around this expertise. The buyer of a book expects the author will be knowledgeable enough to explain the subject clearly and concisely. He wants to be sure that the author understands what he is trying to communicate.
An expert who isn't a specialist risks losing customers who are expecting him to be one.
You don't have to specialize in one area. Today, most of us are specialists in many different areas. A specialist could be an accountant. Not only are we likely to be a parent or spouse, but also friends, family, and fans.
Some experts say that the commonality of specialization makes it impossible to succeed in many different areas.
How can you become an expert in multiple fields? You can do it by practicing. You've got to put in the hours necessary to learn something. Once you've made progress, keep going until people are able to recognize your knowledge.
Many industries today are dedicated to helping others accomplish this goal. Many courses, workshops and seminars, as well as schools, teach how to quickly gain knowledge.

How To
How did marketing history turn into propaganda?
The term "propaganda," which was first used in 1879 by Max Weber, a German sociologist, was derived from the Greek word Praopagos which means "to communicate well". The Latin verb "propere", meaning "nearby" and "at hand", and the noun “agogos,” meaning "speech, discourse," are the origins of the term. It's a "systematic attempt to influence attitudes and behavior."
George Orwell, British journalist wrote in "Propaganda," a 1928 book that he published. "To understand the true nature and purpose of propaganda, it is not the intention make people believe any thing; it is only to change their beliefs... It is designed to make them agree with one thing instead of the other."
Edward Bernays (1891 – 95), who was Sigmund's nephew, and psychoanalyst. He became famous when he created the term "public relations" (1922). He said that "the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in a democratic society." He created the public relations firm Bernays & Company in 1927. He worked there until 1955.
Bernays' "engineering consent" technique was developed in the 1920s and 1950s. It involves influencing public opinion by using publicity campaigns and advertising. His techniques were later adopted and used by mass media organizations such as Time Magazine. CBS News. NBC News. Newsweek. Bernays became a close collaborator with corporations and government agencies in order to influence public opinion after World War II. Johnson & Johnson was among his clients.
His most famous client was the tobacco business. Philip Morris was his most notable client. He developed a campaign against tobacco smoking in 1939. This campaign was recommended by the Surgeon general. The Cigarette Advertising Act, which banned any advertisement for cigarettes in print media (magazines, newspapers, television) was passed by the Senate in 1965.
He also advised President Franklin D Roosevelt on how to deal with the growing labor movement during the Great Depression. 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 began to promote the idea that radio listening could increase radio sales as radio popularity grew. He also introduced the concept of "branding" and "advertising" in the early 1930s. He believed that consumers could feel special and be influenced through appealing to their emotions. He promoted the slogan, "Have I got what it takes?" in 1933, encouraging women to buy war bonds.
He founded a political committee, "Young People for Freedom," in 1944. The group's goal was to encourage Americans aged 18-30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower won in 1952, thanks to Bernays’ efforts.
Bernays convinced CIA in 1953 to stage a coup d'etat in Iran. Shah Reza Pahlevi would replace Mohammad Mosaddegh. This was done to stop Mosaddegh's nationalization of Iranian oil fields. Bernays wrote articles praiseing the new regime after the coup as "moderate," progressive, and modernized.
Bernays also received numerous awards throughout his career.
