Frequently Asked Questions
What can we learn about Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln said, "I am slow to learn; very quick to forget."
He was aware of the importance to continue learning, knowing that there would be a time when he would have to relearn his old habits and adopt new ones.
The same is true of our businesses. We will hit roadblocks sometimes, and get stuck in unproductive ruts no matter how many times we plan for our success.
It is vital to continually learn and develop new skills. If we are to achieve the pinnacle, we must keep learning.
Lincoln had the right attitude. He realized that he could not stop learning, even though he was able to be more productive in his business.
There are two types entrepreneurs. Two types of entrepreneurs exist: those who stay busy and those with smart ideas.
Those who are busy concentrate on growing their businesses. They will be involved in product development, marketing strategies, customer service, or any other daily tasks.
They may feel like they've accomplished something meaningful, but often they're missing the mark. If these entrepreneurs don't focus on being smarter, they will not be able achieve sustainable growth.
What separates successful entrepreneurs from average ones? You are able to adapt quickly to changing conditions.
Successful entrepreneurs are always looking for ways to improve the products and services they offer when faced with difficulties.
However, the average entrepreneur will stick with outdated methods that do not work. They don't want to change until the business goes under.
To be successful, you have to master both the art and skill of self-reflection.
What can we learn from history to avoid repeating past errors?
Because we keep repeating the same mistakes, history repeats itself. We fail to learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History repeats itself because we believe the same old stories. We live in a world where we've been conditioned to believe that there are fixed truths and immutable laws. That we cannot do anything to affect them.
This prevents us thinking critically. The ability to question authority. From challenging assumptions. When we do not question, we stagnate. We stagnate when we don’t grow. Stamina is when we continue to make the same mistakes.
However, history does not repeat itself because we keep making the same mistakes. History repeats itself when we refuse to learn from past mistakes and instead keep repeating them.
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 fixed. All things are subject to constant change.
Uncertainty is key to breaking the cycle. To accept that things could go wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. Accepting failure as a possibility.
Accept the fact that you might not reach your goals. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.
You will always remain stuck in the past if you hold on to certainty. If you insist on the existence of fixed truths, then you will never move forward.
If you want freedom, you have to let go. To move forward, you must give up control.
What are three lessons you can learn about history?
There are plenty of examples from history that show how we can learn lessons from our mistakes. They can be applied to today's business challenges.
Our past has shown us that there's always another way. There are always people out there who think outside the box and take risks that make them stand out.
History shows us that often, it's the underdogs and not the winners who win. If you ever feel lost, overwhelmed or stuck, remember the times when the underdog prevailed.
Take a look back at the past to learn from it and make improvements for the future. Learn from the failures and successes of others.
These lessons will help you increase your success rate.
Who was the first to say that those who don’t learn from history are ignorant?
Although we wish for a world where everyone learned from history, learning from our mistakes is more important than living in that ideal world.
The best way to learn how to do something correctly is to actually experience it.
The real error is not making sure you do it correctly the first attempt.
You'll eventually discover why you made the changes if you continue to make them.
You might find out that it was easier than you thought.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you should stop trying. That's a sign that you have learned a lot.
While you may not be able avoid making mistakes, there are ways to minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. Look at them objectively and ask: "What can I learn?"
When you're open with yourself, you will see that your failures are not failures. These are opportunities to learn.
And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Edison. He failed many more times before he invented the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he took each failure as an opportunity and improved 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. You should learn from your mistakes.
Then, try again.

How To
Discovery of Penicillin: Successful Inventions Made by Accident
How did penicillin come into existence?
Alexander Fleming, who had some bacteria cultures left behind, noticed that penicillin was growing on them. He believed that mold might kill the bacteria and therefore he attempted to find a solution.
He found that penicillin killed the mold, and then he realized that this new substance could also help fight infections caused by bacteria. Penicillin was one the greatest medical breakthroughs. It saved millions of lives, and it changed the course forever of medicine.
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.
Scientists discovered penicillin could be used to treat bacterial infections, but this was not until after World War II. The U.S. Army asked Dr. Fleming in 1945 if penicillin could be used to treat soldiers with wounds infected by deadly germs. Dr. Fleming was willing to give it a try.
Penicillin proved to be effective against many kinds of infections. 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. They are simply experiments made for no reason.
It is amazing how sometimes seemingly insignificant experiments can transform history.
It is often the most important discovery that seems to have no commonality. Penicillin was discovered. Photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
The invention doesn't happen because someone thinks of a brilliant idea. It happens when someone solves a problem. They then solve the problem by experimentation.
