Frequently Asked Questions
What are some lessons from history?
We have three lessons from history. First, it is up to you to make a difference in 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 we can learn is that there are only two ways to transform 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.
Although you cannot control the reactions of people to your ideas, you can control how they are presented. If you try to convince someone, you will fail. If you try to convince someone to do something, you will fail.
People had an idea, and they decided to take action. This is how most great movements started. Whether you are creating change or responding to it, these are the three best ways to make your mark. Be clear about what is important to you, be open about where you came from, and dare to go where no one else has.
The second lesson is that each of us has a choice. We can either allow our lives to unfold, or choose to create them. This means we must decide what kind of life we want to lead. Are we content to wait for someone else's approval to let us live? Do we want to control our destiny?
I think we're living a golden time right now. We have more opportunities than ever before which is creating excitement. People feel empowered to make their own futures and that's very exciting.
It can also cause problems. 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 say, for instance, that you are looking to buy a home. You could wait and see if someone gives you Home Depot gift certificates. You could also think about what you would love to do. Next, find a job that allows you to do this. Finally, apply for financing.
Now, suppose you were to travel the world. It's possible to ask, "Where do you want to travel?" The next step is to start saving money, research countries online, talk with friends, etc. Then, you book a trip.
Let's suppose you don't know what you want. In that case, you'd probably end up doing one of those things anyway. But by asking yourself questions like this, you increase your chances of getting what you want. This may seem absurd, but it works.
The third lesson is to never lose sight of the possibility of improving the future. The reason is simple. Your choices influence who you are and what you 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 believe that you have anything to contribute, then you are 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 go from there. Look back at the things you've done throughout your lifetime. What have you failed at? What has been your greatest success? How did you overcome your obstacles?
Don't forget to remember that only you can limit your potential. No matter what others say, you are capable of doing anything you set your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin said, "Nothing will be successful unless you do."
What can we learn from our mistakes?
When you make a mistake, don't worry about it too much because it's a learning experience. This means that you will learn something. However, it is possible to correct a mistake. You shouldn't stress about the small details. All of us make mistakes.
You might feel embarrassed if you've made a mistake, but it doesn't matter whether you feel bad. 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. If you look at them as opportunities for growth, they'll make you stronger.
The best way to overcome a mistake is to acknowledge and move past it. It is important to not dwell on the mistake and instead focus on the next steps. Keep moving.
Don't dwell on your mistakes. Instead, find ways to improve. Learn from your mistakes, and you will be a better person tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Made by Accident
Inventors make mistakes. How we deal with those mistakes is what determines whether our inventions succeed or fail.
There are no accidental inventions. Every invention was done intentionally. There is no such thing a accidental invention.
An invention is a deliberate act. An intentional decision to create something new. Something that solves the problem. Someone's quality of life will be improved.
Understanding that mistakes are not inevitable is the key to invention success. Instead of trying to avoid mistakes, learn from them.
Invention is not easy. 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?
These are the questions you need to ask. These questions will help guide you in deciding what kind of product/service you should develop next.
To do this, you have to put aside any preconceived notions. You should not make assumptions about the world's needs or wants. You have to listen carefully to your customers and potential customers.
You have to learn what they 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.
Is it possible to learn from the past and not repeat past mistakes?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We fail to learn from the mistakes we make. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
The same old stories are what repeat history. Our world is conditioned to believe there are immutable laws and fixed truths. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.
This keeps us from being able to think critically. To question authority. From challenging assumptions. We don't grow if we don’t question. When we don't learn, we stagnate. If we stagnate, then we make the exact same mistakes.
But history doesn't repeat itself because we make the same mistakes. History repeats itself when we refuse to learn from past mistakes and instead keep repeating them.
You can break the cycle of history repetition by changing how you look at the world and yourself, by understanding that nothing is set in stone. Nothing is unchangeable. All things are subject to constant change.
The key to breaking the cycle is to embrace uncertainty. Accepting that things may go wrong. To accept that we may not succeed. Accepting failure as a possibility.
Accept that you may never achieve your goals. But to accept that, you should strive to improve anyway.
You will always remain stuck in the past if you hold on to certainty. 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. You can't control progress unless you let go.
How to Learn from the Mistakes and Victories of Human History.
History doesn't repeat itself. It doesn't take much time at all to learn from the mistakes of human history. You just need to avoid repeating the mistakes.
The key is to recognize what worked well in the past and apply those lessons to your business.
This can be accomplished by reading books and case studies about successful companies over the years.
You will be able to learn from their success stories and avoid the same mistakes they made.
You can also study examples of businesses that have gone bankrupt. What made them fail? Are there any common themes among these failures? These insights can help to avoid costly mistakes.
Finally, read about notable historical figures like Abraham Lincoln and John D. Rockefeller. They had some of the most impressive resumes in the world, yet none knew how to manage people or run a company. It is essential to learn from their mistakes in order to gain valuable lessons.
The bottom line is that you can learn from the failures and victories of human experience. Simply spend a few seconds each day reflecting on the successes and failures of the past to find ways to use them today.

How To
Accidental Discovery of Penicillin: Successive Inventions
How did penicillin ever become available?
Alexander Fleming, who had some bacteria cultures left behind, noticed that penicillin was growing on them. He thought the mold might kill the bacteria, so he tried to find something that would destroy the mold.
He found that penicillin killed the mold, and then he realized that this new substance could also help fight infections caused by bacteria. Penicillin's discovery was one of most important medical breakthroughs. It saved millions of lives, and it changed the course forever of medicine.
Alexander Fleming was unaware at first of the importance of his finding. Nobody else did. Nobody knew penicillin would be such a powerful anti-biotic.
Until after World War II, scientists learned that penicillin worked against bacterial infections. The U.S. Army approached Dr. Fleming about using penicillin to treat soldiers who were infected. Dr. Fleming agreed.
Penicillin is effective against many types of infections, as it turned out. It saved the lives of wounded soldiers in World War II. It saved many lives and helped doctors continue their work after the war.
Dr. Fleming never expected his discovery to have such far-reaching effects. He was just trying to prevent mold growth on the bacteria cultures that his research had taught him. But he couldn’t imagine how this simple experiment could lead to a remarkable medical breakthrough.
The truth is, many discoveries every day don't seem to amount to anything special at all. These are just experiments that were made for no specific reason.
It is amazing how sometimes seemingly insignificant experiments can transform history.
Even though they seem to have very little in common, discoveries end up being extremely significant. Like the discovery of penicillin. Photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
It doesn't happen just because someone has an idea. It occurs because someone has a problem. And then, they solve that problem through experimentation.
