In the early days of motor cycling in Britain, the speed limit was 4 m.p.h and a man had to walk in front with a red flag. Things have speeded up a bit since then - and so have the casualties. Today there are one and a half million motorcycles in Briatin and several times the number of cars, yet there are two motorcyclists killed for every motorist. Experts have proved that safety on a motorcycle means control. Police records show that most riders involved in accidents lost control of their machine at a critical moment. The Royal Corps of Signals, the Automobile Association and the Royal Automobile cluball stress the importance of control when they train their motorcyclists. So does the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. And so do all the motorcycling schools. This latest Look at Life issue looks at all the aspects of motor Races and the thrilling "cycle-batics" of the Royal Corps of Signals: here are motorcycling schools at work, both for amateurs and professionals. Here, in fact, is a motorcycling in breath-taking notion - and the question marks which hangs over the head of every "horse-power rider".

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we have to learn history in order to avoid making the same mistakes as before?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We make mistakes and fail to learn. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
Because we continue to believe the same old stories, history repeats itself. Our world is conditioned to believe there are immutable laws and fixed truths. These laws are unchangeable and we have no control over them.
This is a way to stop us from thinking critically. From challenging authority. From challenging assumptions. If we don’t ask questions, we don’t grow. And when we don't grow, we stagnate. Stamina is when we continue to make the same mistakes.
But history doesn't repeat itself because we make the same mistakes. History repeats itself because we refuse to learn from our mistakes and instead continue to make the same ones over and over.
You can end the cycle of history repetition by changing the way that you view the world. By understanding that nothing is permanent, you can see the possibilities. Nothing is permanent. Everything is in constant flux.
Accepting uncertainty is the key to breaking this cycle. Accept that things might go wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. Accepting that failure is possible.
Accept that you may not achieve your goals. But to accept that, you should strive to improve anyway.
It's impossible to move forward if you hold onto the past. If you insist on the existence of fixed truths, then you will never move forward.
You can't control your destiny. You can't control progress unless you let go.
What is the most important thing you should know about history?
This question is not easy to answer. When thinking about learning, there are three key points you should consider. First, 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. It allows us to make better decisions, and improve our lives. We would not have any trouble making decisions if our information was perfect. We would do exactly what we wanted, regardless of whether it was right and 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 time passes, we get smarter and smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now move on to the third point. Although knowledge is cumulative it doesn't remain static for very long. Knowledge is ever-changing. Every day scientists discover new facts, theories, ways of thinking. Every day, new discoveries are made.
Technology allows us to quickly access knowledge, and is crucial for our culture. It is possible to store large amounts of data digitally and share it with millions of people around the world.
Globalization has changed how we think about technology. Globalization is the process by which ideas and products spread across borders. Knowledge is now available everywhere because of globalization.
The internet allows anyone to access information any where in the world. Anyone can read books, watch movies, listen to music, play video games, and surf the web. All these activities require knowledge.
Although knowledge is becoming easier to access, it is also becoming more specific. Today, there are thousands of websites providing advice on topics such a health, finance, business and cooking. These websites provide information on just about every topic.
You'll find only a few sites that offer automotive-related services or products if your goal is to purchase a car online. There are many sites that cover every topic, but you will only find a few websites that focus on cars.
Because experts in certain fields can share and create valuable knowledge, this is why specialization is important. Experts often have a deep knowledge of a particular area. Experts are also capable of producing high-quality content targeted at their audience.
Because consumers don't need to scroll through endless amounts of information, they can focus on a specific niche. 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. 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.
Experts who do not specialize risk losing potential customers.
It's not necessary to be a specialist in only one area. Many of us today are specialists in many areas. You might be an accountant or lawyer, a doctor or teacher. We are also likely to be parents, spouses and friends.
Specialization is so common that some experts argue that it's impossible to succeed without being an expert in several different things.
How can you become an expert in multiple fields? It's simple: practice. You've got to put in the hours necessary to learn something. You can make great progress if you continue to work until people recognize you.
Nowadays, there are entire industries devoted to helping others achieve this goal. Many courses, workshops and seminars, as well as schools, teach how to quickly gain knowledge.
What can we learn from Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln said that he was slow to learn, but quick to forget.
He understood the importance of learning and knew that he would eventually need to let go of old habits in order to embrace new ones.
The same goes for businesses. We will hit roadblocks sometimes, and get stuck in unproductive ruts no matter how many times we plan for our success.
This is why it is so important to constantly learn new ways to grow. We must never stop learning, even after reaching the top of our success.
Lincoln was a good example of the right attitude. He recognized that while he could become more effective in his business, he couldn't stop learning.
There are two types: entrepreneurs. There are two types: those who stay active and those who stay informed.
Those who stay active focus on growing their business. They are involved in marketing strategies, product development, customer support, and other tasks every day.
They may feel like they've accomplished something meaningful, but often they're missing the mark. These entrepreneurs will not achieve sustainable growth unless they are focused on becoming smarter.
What sets successful entrepreneurs apart? You are able to adapt quickly to changing conditions.
Successionable entrepreneurs look for ways that they can improve their products or services when faced with difficult situations.
However, the average entrepreneur will stick with outdated methods that do not work. They refuse to change course until their business fails.
You must be able to master both self-reflection and adaptation in order to succeed.
What do our mistakes teach us?
You can learn from your mistakes. It's a learning experience that will help you to improve your skills. Even more important, you can correct any mistakes you make. Don't fret about the little stuff, because mistakes are okay. All of us make mistakes.
While it's possible to feel embarrassed when you make a mistake, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you should feel bad. It's the way you deal with your mistakes which matters most. They will eat at your soul if you allow them to bother you. You'll be stronger if you see them as opportunities to grow.
It is important to recognize and learn from your mistakes. It is important to not dwell on the mistake and instead focus on the next steps. Keep moving.
Don't obsess over your mistakes. Instead, look for ways to improve yourself. Learn from your mistakes and be better tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Created by Accident
Inventors make mistakes. However, the way we react to those errors will determine whether our inventions turn out to be great successes or failures.
The fact is there are no accidents when it comes to invention. Each invention was created intentionally. There is no such thing a accidental invention.
A deliberate act of invention is called an invention. An intention to create something. It solves a problem. Something that makes life better for someone.
Understanding that mistakes are not inevitable is the key to invention success. 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.
It means you have to spend a lot more time thinking about and trying out different ideas. What is it that people are most concerned about? What do they require?
You have to ask yourself questions like these. These questions will help guide you in deciding what kind of product/service you should develop next.
To achieve this, it is important to forget about any preconceived ideas. Preconceived notions about what the world needs or wants are not valid. You have to listen carefully to your customers and potential customers.
You must find out what they want. It is not what they think they want.
Once you have figured out their needs, you need to find a way to make it happen. This is where invention comes in.

How To
What can humanity learn from our ancestors' past mistakes?
We've been to this place before and will likely return. It's okay to learn from history. It may even help humanity weather another crisis.
If we keep an open mind and look for lessons to guide us forward, we may make it out alive.
The problem is when we fail to learn from the past and refuse to acknowledge that human nature hasn't changed much since the beginning of time.
The wisdom of the old ways is vast, but we tend not to pay attention because they contradict our beliefs. We instead of making changes we find difficult we stick to the familiar.
But the world continues to change and our lives are constantly evolving. Our environment is becoming increasingly complex and we have more problems to solve.
We must change. We are more vulnerable to failure if we can't rely on the strategies that have worked in the past.
If we do this, we lose sight and succumb to our habits.
Our brains evolved to adapt thousands of years ago to changing conditions. These days won't last forever.
The future isn’t certain. There's still room for improvement.
Humans are capable of doing amazing feats. We have the ability to create incredible technologies. To explore unknown frontiers.
Yet, we tend to limit our abilities. To fear evolution. To reject evolution. To think that what worked yesterday will still work tomorrow.
Some people are trying to reverse this trend. They see themselves to be warriors against this status quo. Fight against the establishment. Against the system.
They see themselves as rebels who love to defy convention. They challenge the social norms and conventions.
They defy rules and regulations. They are against conformity. They are not concerned about social expectations. They think they know better than everyone else.
I wish these people all the best.
You'll need it!
Because you're fighting an uphill battle. The forces that drive mainstream society's success are powerful.
You will find that the majority of people aren't interested in your viewpoint. There is little interest in your point-of-view.
It doesn't matter if you're brilliant or well-intentioned. Your ideas might not be accepted by the majority.
Your message could go unheard. That's precisely why you'll need strange lessons from the past.
Because that's where the real power is. This is where the real power lies.
This is where others can be inspired to achieve their goals. These are the places where you can make a difference and transform the world.
Let me ask: Are you willing to live up to the expectations of others? Or would you prefer to set your own course?
