Frequently Asked Questions
What are some lessons learned from history?
These are the three most important lessons that history has taught us. The first is that you have to do it yourself if you want to change the world. Second, it is essential to prepare people for change if you want to transform their lives. Third, the future must be better if you want to change it.
First, there are two ways to make the world better. One is fighting for it, the other is creating it. Fighting for it is about winning, not remembering why you started fighting.
You cannot control what people think, but you can make sure they like the way you present them. If you want to persuade someone, you'll eventually fail. If you try to convince someone to do something, you will fail.
Most great movements began because somebody had an idea and decided to act upon 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. Either we wait for the right circumstances to unfold or we can make them happen. This means we need to choose what kind of life you want. Are we willing to wait for someone to allow us to live? Do we want to control our 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. People feel empowered to make their own futures and that's very exciting.
However, it can also be a problem. It's hard to know what you want.
Let's take, for example, the desire to purchase a house. Or you could just sit back and wait for someone to give you a gift card to Home Depot. You could also ask yourself "What would you love to do?" Find a job that will allow you to do it. Then, you can apply for financing.
Now, suppose you were to travel the world. The question you might be asking yourself is "Where do I want go?" The next step is to start saving money, research countries online, talk with friends, etc. The final step is to book a flight.
Let's pretend you didn’t know what your goal was. In that case, you'd probably end up doing one of those things anyway. You can increase your chances to get what you want by asking these questions. It may seem silly, but it works.
The third lesson is that you can always improve your future no matter what happens. It is easy to see why. Our choices affect who and what we become.
Use history to your advantage, to learn from other people's failures and successes and to keep improving until success.
If you don’t feel you have any value to the world, you are already behind. You must believe that you are capable of doing more than you thought possible.
Start with what you already know. Start small, and work your way up. Look back at the things you've done throughout your lifetime. What are you most proud of? What are you proud of? How have you overcome obstacles?
You are the only person who can limit what you can do. No matter what anyone may say, you can do whatever you want.
Benjamin Franklin once said that "Nothing will work without you."
What is the most important thing to learn in history?
This question is not easy to answer. Learning is about three things. First, knowledge is power. Second, knowledge can be cumulative. The third is to be aware of how quickly knowledge can change.
Knowledge is power. Because it empowers people to make better decisions. If we had all the information, it wouldn't be difficult to make decisions. We would always do what is best for us, and not worry about whether it was wrong or right.
Knowledge is not just power; it's also cumulative. This means that once we've learned something, we continue to add more knowledge to our brains. As we get smarter, our brains become more sophisticated. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now turn our attention to the third. While knowledge is cumulative, it doesn't stay static for very long. Knowledge is always changing. Scientists discover new theories and facts every day. Every day, scientists discover new facts and theories.
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 transformed the way we see technology and knowledge. Globalization refers simply to the process by which ideas or products spread beyond borders. Globalization has made knowledge accessible to everyone.
The internet allows anyone to access information any where in the world. You can surf the internet, read books, listen to music and play video games. All of these activities require knowledge.
While knowledge is becoming increasingly accessible, it is also becoming more specialized. If you search online for advice on health, finance or business, you will find hundreds of thousands of sites offering information about topics such as cooking, travel, sport, or business. These sites offer information on nearly every topic possible.
But if you go online to buy a car, you'll probably find only a few dozen sites offering automotive-related services and products. Instead of finding thousands of sites covering every conceivable subject, you'll find only a handful covering cars.
Experts in particular fields have the ability to share and create value. This is why experts in these areas are so popular. Experts often have a deep understanding of a particular field. Experts are also skilled at producing content that is relevant to their target audience.
This is great news for consumers as they no longer have to search through a lot of useless information. Instead, consumers can narrow their search to a select few websites that contain lots of useful information.
Experts also benefit from specialization because they can build strong businesses around their expertise. When someone buys a book, he expects the author to know his subject well enough to write a clear and concise explanation of the material. He wants to feel confident that the author is able to convey his message.
An expert who does not specialize risks losing out to potential customers who expect him be knowledgeable.
Specialization isn't limited to just one area. Many of us today are specialists in many areas. A specialist could be an accountant. Not only are we likely to be a parent or spouse, but also friends, family, and fans.
Experts argue that specialization is so common that it's impossible for one person to be an expert in all aspects of the same thing.
So how can you become an expert across multiple fields? The simple answer is practice. It's necessary to work hard to learn. You can make great progress if you continue to work until people recognize you.
Many industries today are dedicated to helping others accomplish this goal. People can quickly learn through courses, workshops seminars, conferences, schools and other venues.

Successful Inventions made by accident
Inventors make mistakes. But how we respond to those mistakes determines whether our inventions become great successes or failures.
The fact is there are no accidents when it comes to invention. Every invention was done intentionally. There is no such thing as an accidental invention.
An invention is a deliberate act. An intention to create something. Something that solves an issue. You can make someone's life easier.
Understanding that mistakes are not inevitable is the key to invention success. Instead of trying not to make mistakes, try learning from them.
Invention is not easy. Invention requires hard work and 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 are people interested in? What do they want?
Ask yourself these questions. These questions will help guide you in deciding what kind of product/service you should develop next.
This is possible only if you let go any preconceived notions. All assumptions about the world's wants and needs. You need to pay attention to the needs of your potential customers and customers.
You have to learn what they want. Not what they tell you they want.
Once you've figured out what they want, you have to devise a way to give it to them. This is where invention begins.

How To
How did marketing history turn into propaganda?
The term "propaganda" was first used in 1879 when German sociologist Max Weber coined the word from the Greek word "praopagos" which means "to speak well." The Latin verb propaganda, which means "nearby" or at hand, and the noun "agogos," which means "speech or speech," is the source of the word. It's a "systematic attempt to influence attitudes and behavior."
George Orwell, British journalist, wrote: "To understand and comprehend the true nature propaganda, we must realize it isn't the intention to make anyone believe anything. It only the intention change their beliefs...Its purpose is to make them accept something rather than one thing."
Edward Bernays (1891 –1955) was Sigmund Freud’s nephew. In 1922, he coined the term "public Relations". 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 invented an "engineering permission" technique, which allowed him to influence public opinion through publicity and advertising campaigns. His techniques were later adopted and used by mass media organizations such as Time Magazine. CBS News. NBC News. Newsweek. Bernays worked closely with corporations and government agencies after World War II to influence public opinion. 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. In 1965, the Cigarette Advertising Act was adopted. This bans any cigarette advertisement in print media such as newspapers and television.
He also gave advice on how to deal during the Great Depression with the growing labor movement. Bernays recommended that the president declare a war on hunger and use federal government power to ensure adequate food supply. This strategy helped the president win reelection in 1936 by making the government appear benevolent and fatherly.
As the popularity of radio increased, Bernays started promoting the idea of "radio listening" to increase sales of radios. He also introduced the concept of "branding" and "advertising" in the early 1930s. He believed that consumers can be influenced by appealing directly to their emotions and making them feel special. He promoted the slogan "Have it all!" He encouraged women to buy war bonds in 1933.
In 1944, he created a political action committee called "Young People for Freedom." This group had the goal of encouraging Americans aged 18 to 30 to vote Republican. Bernays' efforts proved successful when Dwight Eisenhower won the presidential election in 1952.
In 1953, Bernays persuaded the CIA to stage a coup in Iran, replacing Mohammad Mosaddegh with Shah Reza Pahlevi. This was to stop Mosaddegh acquiring Iranian oilfields. Bernays published articles after the coup praising the new regime for being "moderate", "progressive,"and "modernized".
Bernays has received numerous other awards throughout his professional career.
