Frequently Asked Questions
What do our mistakes teach us?
Make mistakes, but don't fret about them. You'll learn something. You can also learn from your mistakes. So don't sweat the small stuff because there's nothing wrong with making mistakes. They happen to all of us.
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. If you allow them to get in the way of your growth, they will eventually eat away at your inner self. If you look at them as opportunities for growth, they'll make you stronger.
Acknowledge and move past a mistake is the best way for you to overcome it. You don't need to dwell on it. Instead, you should focus on the next step. Keep moving.
Don't dwell on your mistakes. Instead, try to find ways to improve. Learn from your failures and make improvements for tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Made by Accident
Inventors are human. However, how we react to these mistakes will determine whether or not our inventions are great successes.
When it comes to invention, there are no accidents. Every invention was planned. An accidental invention is not possible.
An invention is a deliberate act. Intentionally making something new. It solves a problem. You can make someone's life easier.
But the key to a successful invention is understanding that nothing happens accidentally. Instead of trying to avoid mistakes, learn from them.
Although it would be nice to think that invention is easy, it's not. It takes hard work and perseverance to invent something. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
This means that you need to spend lots of time thinking about solutions and ideas. What do people care about? What do they want?
You need to ask 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. All assumptions about the world's wants and needs. Listen to your potential and current customers.
It is important to find out what your clients want. You must learn what they really 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.
Can learning about history stop us from repeating past mistakes?
Because we keep repeating the same mistakes, history repeats itself. We don't learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We get complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History also repeats itself because we keep believing the same old stories. We have been taught to believe there are unchanging laws and fixed truths. They cannot be changed.
This makes it difficult to think critically. The ability to question authority. By challenging assumptions. We can't learn if we don’t challenge our assumptions. We stagnate if we don’t move forward. If we stagnate, then we make the exact same mistakes.
But history doesn't repeat itself because we make the same mistakes. History repeats because we refuse lessons from our mistakes and continue making them over and again.
It is possible to break the cycle of history repetition. You can change the way you see the world, and your perspective by realizing that nothing is fixed in stone. Nothing is unchangeable. All things are in constant flux.
Uncertainty is key to breaking the cycle. Accepting that things may go wrong. To accept that we may not succeed. To accept that failure is a possibility.
Accept that your goals may not be achieved. But to accept that, you should strive to improve anyway.
Holding on to the past will keep you stuck. If you hold on to the belief that there are certain truths, you'll never be able to move forward.
Freedom is only possible if you are willing to let go. To move forward, you must give up control.
Who first said that people who don't learn history from the past are stupid?
Although we wish for a world where everyone learned from history, learning from our mistakes is more important than living in that ideal world.
It's not better to try something wrong than to learn how to do it right.
It is a mistake to not do it correctly the first time.
Changes are inevitable, and you will eventually realize why you made them.
You may even find that you could do it better the second time.
It doesn't mean that you shouldn't continue to try. It means you've learned a lot.
While you may not be able avoid making mistakes, there are ways to minimize them. This is the difference that makes the difference of success and failure.
Recognizing your mistakes is the first step. Look at them objectively and ask: "What can I learn?"
Being honest with yourself will help you see that your mistakes are only lessons. They are learning opportunities.
Thomas Edison was the victim of this fate. He failed numerous times before finally inventing light bulbs.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he took each failure as an opportunity and improved his design.
He developed the most well-known form of lighting we have today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. You should learn from your mistakes.
Then try again.
What are some lessons from history?
Three lessons can be learned from history. First, to truly change the world, one must take responsibility for it. It is important to make sure that people are prepared for change when you try to improve their lives. Third, when you change the future, you have to make it better.
The first lesson we can learn is that there are only two ways to transform the world. One is fighting for it, the other is creating it. If you fight for it you lose sight on why you started to fight.
Although you cannot control the reactions of people to your ideas, you can control 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.
Great movements were born out of an idea that was realized and then taken action. 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 we all have a choice. Either we wait for the right circumstances to unfold or we can make them happen. We must choose the kind of life that we want. Is it better to decide what kind of life we want or wait for someone else? Do we want to control our destiny?
I believe we are living in a golden era. We have more opportunities than ever before which is creating excitement. It's exciting that people feel empowered and able to create their futures.
But it also creates a problem. It's not easy to know what you want or how to get it. Therefore, it is important to identify what you want and then find a way.
Let's assume you want to purchase a house. You could either sit back and expect someone to gift you a Home Depot gift certificate. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" Find a job that will allow you to do it. Next, apply for financing.
Now, let's say you wanted 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. You'd then book a ticket.
Let's pretend you didn’t know what your goal was. If that were the case, you would probably do one of those things anyway. By asking yourself such questions, you increase the likelihood of getting what your heart desires. Although it may sound silly, it is effective.
The third lesson is that you can always improve your future no matter what happens. It's easy. Your choices determine who you are and who you become.
You can learn from the mistakes and successes of others and continue to improve until you achieve your goals.
If you don’t believe you can offer anything, you’re already behind. You must believe in yourself and that you are more than you believed.
If you don't know where to begin, start with what you know. Start small and build from there. Reflect on the lessons that you've taken from your experiences throughout your life. Which areas have you struggled with? What have you succeeded at? What were your greatest achievements?
Finally, remember that the only person who can limit your potential is you. You can accomplish anything, no matter what anyone tells you.
Benjamin Franklin said, "Nothing will be successful unless you do."

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
Ferdinand de Lesseps designed the Suez Canal to connect Europe to Asia in 1869. To do so, he had the Isthmus of Suez (the narrowest part) built to allow ships to cross from Europe to reach India. This process required building a series of locks and dams along the way. He traveled to Egypt several times and negotiated financing with Khedive Ismail Pasha. But, upon his return to France, it was discovered that Napoleon III has been overthrown and the Second Empire has taken over, with no interest in such a large-scale project. It took him three more years before the French government approved funding the project. After the British were defeated at Battle of Omdurman, during the Sudan War in 1859 they signed a treaty to allow them access to Red Sea via Suez Canal.
This project helped open up trade routes and increase international commerce, leading to the development of many countries around the globe, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Russia, South Africa, and the United States.
In addition, the Suez Canal allowed people to travel much faster than before. Before its construction, it took weeks or months to cross the Isthmian Peninsula; now, it only takes days. People could travel to Paris, London Rome, Rome, and Constantinople easily without having to make long sea voyages or brave dangerous storms. The Suez Canal also reduced the distance between North America, Europe and almost 3,000 miles, making it much easier to travel back and forth. These features made the Suez Canal a major transportation project.
The Suez Canal, however, caused problems. It divided the Ottoman Empire into 2 parts. This led to the First World War. During the war, Britain used the Suez Canal for its attack on Germany. The Germans attacked Britain using their version. Although the Suez Canal passed under Egyptian control following the end the war, both the British and Egyptians still held the land.
After the Second World War, the Suez Canal remained an important part of global trade until the Arab-Israeli conflict began in 1948. Both sides were reluctant to take action against the other at first because they feared that one side might use force. In 1967, Israel took the Sinai peninsula from Egypt and closed the Suez Canal to all shipping, except military vessels. The closure lasted four years until President Sadat reopened the canal to civilian traffic in 1973.
