For the first time, scientists have discovered evidence of extra-terrestrial organic matter in terrestrial rocks. The discovery is further confirmation that we have a lot to learn from the meteorites that have hit Earth for billions of years. The new evidence comes from South Africa’s Makhonjwa Mountains, specifically the Josefsdal Chert, a volcanic deposit. The mountain range houses many of the planet’s oldest rocks, but it turns out that for some of the rocks, it is more than just their age that is interesting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can we learn from our mistakes?
Don't be too concerned about making a mistake. It's an opportunity to learn. It's a learning experience that will help you to improve your skills. But more importantly, when you make a mistake, you can change it. Don't fret about the little stuff, because mistakes are okay. They happen to all of us.
Even though you may feel embarrassed after making a mistake it doesn't mean you have to feel guilty. 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. However, if they are seen as opportunities for growth you will come out the other side 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.
You don't need to dwell on your errors. Instead, look for ways to improve yourself. Learn from your mistakes to improve your future.
Successful Inventions made by accident
Inventors are human. But how we respond to those mistakes determines whether our inventions become great successes or failures.
When it comes to invention, there are no accidents. Each invention was created intentionally. There is no such thing a accidental invention.
An invention is a deliberate act. An intention to create something. Something that solves a problem. Someone's quality of life will be improved.
However, the key to creating a successful invention is understanding how nothing happens by accident. 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.
That means you must spend a lot of time thinking about problems and ideas. What do people care about? What do they really need?
These are questions that you should ask yourself. These questions will help to determine the type of product and service that you should be developing next.
This requires you to let go of any preconceived notions. All assumptions about the world's wants and needs. You have to listen carefully to your customers and potential customers.
You have to learn what they want. Not what they tell themselves they want.
Once you know what your customers want, it is time to create a way for them to get it. This is where invention starts.
What can we learn from the past?
There are three lessons we've learned from history. The first is that you have to do it yourself if you want to change the world. The second is to ensure that people are ready to accept change in their lives. The third thing you must do to improve the future is to first change how people live.
The first lesson is that you can change the world in two ways. One is to fight to get it. The other is to create. If you fight for it you lose sight on why you started to fight.
It is impossible to control how people respond to your ideas. However, it is possible to control how you present them. 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.
Great movements were born out of an idea that was realized and then taken action. No matter whether you are creating change, or reacting to it. Here are three ways you can make your mark: Be clear about the things you want, be honest with where you came from, be courageous enough to go where no other person has gone before, and be clear about who you are.
The second lesson is that each of us has a choice. We have two options: we can wait for life to happen to you or we can make it happen. This means that it is up to us to decide how we want our lives to be. Are we content to wait for someone else's approval to let us live? Or, do we want control of our destiny and take control?
I'd argue that we're living in a golden age right now. There are more possibilities than ever before, which has created a lot of excitement. People feel empowered to create their futures, and that's exciting.
It also presents 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. You could also ask yourself "What would you love to do?" Then, look for a job that lets you do it. Finally, apply for financing.
Let's pretend you want to travel all over the globe. Perhaps you are asking, "Where do i want to go?" You'd then begin saving money, researching different countries online and speaking with friends. You'd then book a ticket.
Let's pretend you didn’t know what your goal was. You'd likely end up doing one of these things anyway. You can increase your chances to get what you want by asking these questions. It may seem odd, but it works.
The third lesson is the ability to always improve the future, regardless of what happens next. It is very simple. Our choices impact who we become and who we are.
The trick to success is to look back at history and learn from their mistakes and successes.
If you don’t believe you can offer anything, you’re already behind. You have to believe that you're better than you thought you were.
You can start by learning what you already know. Start small and build from there. Look back at the things you've done throughout your lifetime. What have your failures been? What were your successes? 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.
In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "Nothing will work unless you do."
Are we able to learn from past mistakes and avoid making the same mistakes again?
History repeats itself because we keep making the same mistakes again and again. We do not learn from our failures. We don't change. We get 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 is a way to stop us from thinking critically. It prevents us from questioning authority. By challenging assumptions. We can't learn if we don’t challenge our assumptions. When we don't learn, we stagnate. If we stagnate, then we make the exact same mistakes.
History doesn't repeat itself, because we continue to 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.
Change your perception of the world and yourself to stop the cycle. Everything is subject to constant flux. Everything is in constant flux.
The key to breaking the cycle of uncertainty is acceptance. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. To accept the possibility of failure. Accepting failure as a possibility.
Accept that you may not reach your goals. But to accept that, you should strive to improve anyway.
It's impossible to move forward if you hold onto the past. You'll never move forward if you cling to the idea that there are fixed truths.
You can't control your destiny. You can't control progress unless you let go.
Who said that history doesn't teach the ignorant?
While we all would love to live in an ideal world that everyone learns from past mistakes, it is not possible to learn from our own mistakes.
You can't learn anything better than trying it wrong.
The only real mistake is not trying to ensure you do it right the first time.
As long you keep making adjustments, you'll eventually see the reason you made them.
It is possible to discover that you could have done things better the first time around.
It doesn't mean that you shouldn't continue to try. That's a sign that you have learned a lot.
You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. This is the difference between success, and failure.
It all starts with acknowledging your mistakes. Look at your mistakes objectively, and then ask yourself: "What lessons have I learned?"
Being honest with yourself will help you see that your mistakes are only lessons. They're opportunities to grow.
Thomas Edison had to go through the exact same thing. He failed many more times before he invented the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he used each one as an opportunity to improve his design.
And over time, he invented the most popular form of lighting today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Use them.
And then, you can try again.

How To
Accidental discovery of penicillin: A successful invention
How did penicillin get created?
Penicillin was discovered accidentally when Alexander Fleming noticed mold growing on some bacteria cultures he had left out. He believed the mold might kill the bacteria so he set out to find a way that would destroy the mold.
He discovered penicillin could kill mold. Later, he realized that this new compound could also fight bacteria-related infection. Penicillin was one the greatest medical breakthroughs. It saved millions and changed medicine forever.
At first, Alexander Fleming didn't know that his finding would be so important. The other person didn't know the same. Penicillin would prove to be an extremely powerful antibiotic.
Researchers discovered that penicillin is effective against bacterial infections only after World War II. The U.S. Army wanted to know if Dr. Fleming could use penicillin for soldiers suffering from infections with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming accepted the offer.
Penicillin was found to be effective against many different types of infection. Penicillin was an invaluable lifesaver for wounded soldiers in World War II. It was also used to save the lives of many doctors in post-war Germany.
Dr. Fleming didn't expect his discovery would have such profound consequences. He simply wanted to be sure that mold didn't thrive on the bacteria he had studied. He couldn't believe that this simple experiment would result in such a medical breakthrough.
It's not surprising that many of the discoveries we make every day don’t amount to anything extraordinary. These discoveries are nothing more than experiments, done for no particular purpose.
Look back on history and you'll see that even seemingly minor experiments can make all the difference.
It is often the most important discovery that seems to have no commonality. Like the discovery of penicillin. Photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
It is not because someone has a brilliant idea. It occurs because someone has a problem. They then solve the problem by experimentation.
