“What do you want to be when you grow up?” “An astronaut.” Astronauts are one of the coolest and most popular career choices. Children aspire to be one just for the mere fact that astronauts can go up to space and leave earth. The awesomeness of the job does not come without serious studying and training. The amount of work that an individual needs to do in order to be a real astronaut is almost unimaginable.

What can we learn by Abraham Lincoln's example?
Abraham Lincoln said that he was slow to learn, but quick to forget.
He knew how important it was to keep learning because he understood that there would come a time when he would need to unlearn old habits and embrace new ones.
The same applies to our businesses. No matter how meticulously we plan for success and what our goals are, there will be moments when we get stuck in a rut.
It's important to keep learning and growing. If we are to achieve the pinnacle, we must keep learning.
Lincoln had the right attitude. He recognized that while he could become more effective in his business, he couldn't stop learning.
There are two types entrepreneur. They are those who are busy and those that stay smart.
Those who keep busy are focused on their business' growth. They will be involved in product development, marketing strategies, customer service, or any other daily tasks.

What are some lessons from history?
History has taught us three important lessons. First, you must do it yourself when you change the world. Second, it is essential to prepare people for change if you want to transform their lives. You can only change the future if it is better.
The first lesson is to recognize that there are two options for changing the world. The first is to fight for it. The second is to make it happen. Fighting for it is about winning, not remembering why 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 try and convince someone to do something, it will be a failure. But if you set out to inspire someone to action, you'll succeed.
Every great movement began with someone who had an idea and decided that they would act on it. It doesn't matter if you're trying to create change or react to it. These are the rules that will help you make an impact.
The second lesson is that we all have a choice. Either we wait for the right circumstances to unfold or we can make them happen. This means that it is up to us to decide how we want our lives to be. Are we willing to wait for someone to allow us to live? Do we want to control our destiny?
I believe we are living in a golden era. There is more opportunity than ever, which makes it exciting. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.
It also presents a problem. Because not everyone knows exactly what they want or even how to get it, it's important to figure out what you want and find a way to get it.
Let's take, for example, the desire to purchase a house. You could sit back and hope someone gives you a gift certificate to Home Depot. You could also ask yourself "What would you love to do?" You can then search for a job where you can do it. Next, apply for financing.
Let's pretend you want to travel all over the globe. 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. Then, you book a trip.
Now, let's say you didn't know what you wanted. You'd likely end up doing one of these things anyway. By asking yourself such questions, you increase the likelihood of getting what your heart desires. It may seem odd, but it works.
And the third lesson is that no matter what happens next, you can always improve the future. It is easy to see why. Your choices determine who you are and who you become.
So the trick is to use history as a guide, to learn from others' mistakes and successes, and keep improving until you succeed.
If you don’t feel you have any value to the world, you are already behind. You must believe you are better than you think you are.
Don't worry if you don't know where you should start. Start small and move on. Take stock of the lessons you've learned in your entire life. What have your failures been? What are you proud of? What have you done to overcome obstacles?
Last but not least, remember that no one can stop you from reaching your full potential. No matter how much anyone tells, you can achieve anything you set your mind.
In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "Nothing will work unless you do."
What are three lessons history can teach us?
There are numerous examples throughout history that demonstrate how we can learn and improve from our mistakes. We can apply them to today's business challenges and turn them into opportunities for growth.
The past has taught us that there is always a better way. There's always someone out there that thinks outside the box, and takes risks that make him or her stand out.
History shows that the underdogs are often the ones who win. Look back at the times when an underdog won.
Look back on the past and learn from it. Learn from the failures and successes of others.
These lessons will help improve your success rate.

How To
How did propaganda become marketing history.
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"/ "at hand) and the noun ("agogos"), meaning "speech/discourse," gave rise to the word. It refers to "a systematic effort to shape attitudes or 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 –1955), who was Sigmund Fréud's nephew. The psychoanalyst and nephew of Sigmund Freud became famous after he invented "public relations" back in 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 established the public relations company "Bernays & Company" where he worked up to 1955.
Bernays' "engineering consent" technique was developed in the 1920s and 1950s. It involves influencing public opinion by using publicity campaigns and advertising. His methods were later adopted in mass media such as Time Magazines, CBS News and NBC News. Bernays began to work closely with corporations, government agencies, and individuals after World War II. Some of his clients included Johnson & Johnson, General Electric, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Company, U.S. Department of Defense, American Tobacco Company, DuPont, Rayonier, and the United States Chamber of Commerce.
The tobacco industry was his most important client. He helped Philip Morris to develop a campaign against smoking in 1939. The Surgeon General recommended that indoor smoking be prohibited. This led to the passage of the Cigarette Advertising Act in 1965, which prohibited any cigarette advertisement in print media, including magazines, newspapers, and television.
He also gave advice to President Franklin D Roosevelt about how to manage the growing labor movement during Great Depression. Bernays suggested that the president declare a "war on hunger" and use the federal government's power to ensure adequate food supplies. 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 introduced the concept "branding", "advertising" and other concepts in the early 1930s. He believed that consumers could be influenced by appealing to their emotional side and making them feel special. For example, he promoted the slogan "Have you got what it takes?" 1933: Encouraged women to invest in war bonds.
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. Dwight Eisenhower was elected president in 1952 after Bernays' efforts were successful.
Bernays persuaded CIA to set up a coup in Iran. Shah Reza Pahlevi took over Mohammad Mosaddegh's place. He justified the move as necessary in order to stop Mosaddegh becoming the nationalist of Iranian oilfields. Bernays published articles after the coup praising the new regime for being "moderate", "progressive,"and "modernized".
Bernays received many other awards throughout his career.
