Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most important lesson you can learn from history?
This question is not easy to answer. Learning is about three things. First, knowledge is power. Second, we must recognize that knowledge is cumulative. Third, we must appreciate how quickly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power. It allows us to make better decisions, and improve our lives. We would not have any trouble making decisions if our information was perfect. We would always do exactly what we wanted without worrying about whether it was right or wrong.
Knowledge is not only power but also cumulative. Once we have learned something, we can continue adding knowledge to our brains. As time passes, we get smarter and smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Now, let's look at the third point. While knowledge is cumulative, it doesn't stay static for very long. Knowledge is constantly evolving. Every day, scientists discover new facts, theories, and ways of thinking. Each day new discoveries are made.
Our culture is particularly dependent upon technology which allows us to access knowledge instantly. Technology makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in digital form and share it among millions of people worldwide.
Globalization is changing the way that we view technology. Globalization is the process of ideas and products spreading across borders. Because of globalization, knowledge is now accessible everywhere.
Anyone can access any information on the internet. You can surf the internet, read books, listen to music and play video games. All of these activities require knowledge.
Information is becoming more accessible and more specialized. For example, if you go online today, you'll find hundreds of thousands of websites offering advice on topics such as health, finance, business, cooking, sports, and travel. These websites provide information on just about every topic.
If you want to buy a car online, however, you will likely only find a few dozen websites that provide automotive-related services. Instead of finding thousands of sites covering every conceivable subject, you'll find only a handful covering cars.
Because experts in certain fields can share and create valuable knowledge, this is why specialization is important. Experts are often experts in a specific field. Experts are also capable of producing high-quality content targeted at their audience.
Consumers will appreciate this specialization because they won't have to go through tons of irrelevant information. Instead, they can rely on a limited number of websites that offer lots of valuable content.
Experts also benefit from specialization because they can build strong businesses around their expertise. He expects the author of a book to have a thorough knowledge of his subject to provide a clear and concise explanation. He wants to feel confident that the author is able to convey his message.
If an expert does not specialize, he risks losing out on potential customers who expect him to be knowledgeable.
There are many areas of expertise. Nowadays, specialists are not limited to one area. We might be an accountant, a lawyer, a doctor, or a teacher. We are also likely to be parents, spouses and friends.
Some experts say that the commonality of specialization makes it impossible to succeed in many different areas.
How do you become an expert on multiple subjects? It's simple: practice. It's necessary to work hard to learn. Once you've made progress, keep going until people are able to recognize your knowledge.
Nowadays, there are entire industries devoted to helping others achieve this goal. You can learn how to quickly acquire knowledge through workshops, seminars, conferences and schools.
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. They can be applied to current business challenges, and transformed into opportunities for growth.
We have learned from the past that there are always other ways to do things. You will always find someone who thinks outside of the box and takes chances that make them stand out.
History has shown us that often it is the underdogs that succeed. Look back at the times when an underdog won.
Take a look back at the past to learn from it and make improvements for the future. Learn from the mistakes and successes of others.
These lessons can help you improve the success rate.
What do our mistakes teach us?
Do not worry too much about making mistakes. That means you'll learn something. Even more important, you can correct any mistakes you make. Don't fret about the little stuff, because mistakes are okay. We all make mistakes.
While it's possible to feel embarrassed when you make a mistake, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you should feel bad. It is how you deal and learn from your mistakes that matters the most. They will eat at your soul if you allow them to bother you. 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.
Do not obsess about your mistakes. Instead, look for ways to improve yourself. Learn from your mistakes and be better tomorrow.
Successful Inventions made by accident
Inventors make mistakes. However, the way we react to those errors will determine whether our inventions turn out to be great successes or failures.
When it comes to invention, there are no accidents. Every invention was done intentionally. There are no accidental inventions.
An invention is a deliberate act. An intention to create something. A solution to a problem. You can make someone's life easier.
To be successful inventing is to understand that nothing happens by chance. Instead of trying avoidable mistakes, learn from them.
While we wish to claim that invention can be easy, it isn’t. Invention is hard work that requires persistence. 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 are people concerned about? What do they really need?
You need to ask these questions. These questions will help guide you in deciding what kind of product/service you should develop next.
This is possible only if you let go any preconceived notions. You should not make assumptions about the world's needs or wants. Listen carefully to potential and actual customers.
You must find out what they want. You must learn what they really want.
Once you understand what they want, you must devise a method to deliver it. Here's where invention really begins.
What can we learn from the past?
Three lessons can be learned from history. First, to truly change the world, one must take responsibility for it. The second is to ensure that people are ready to accept change in their lives. Third, the future must be better if you want to change it.
First, there are two ways to make the world better. One is to fight for it; the other is to create it. You can lose sight of the reason you started fighting.
You can't control how people react to your ideas, but you can control how you present them. If you want to persuade someone, you'll eventually fail. But if you set out to inspire someone to action, you'll succeed.
The idea of a great movement was born when someone had it and took 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 each of us has a choice. Either we wait for the right circumstances to unfold or we can make them happen. This means that we have to decide what kind life we want. Do we wait for someone else to permit us to live? Or do we want to take charge of our destiny?
I think we're living a golden time right now. There are more possibilities than ever before, which has created a lot of excitement. People feel empowered to make their own futures and that's very exciting.
However, it can also be 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. Or you could just sit back and wait for someone to give you a gift card to Home Depot. You could also ask yourself "What would you love to do?" Look for a job which allows you to do that. Then, you can apply for financing.
Let's suppose you want to travel 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. And finally, you'd book a flight.
Let's pretend you didn’t know what your goal was. 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. It is very simple. Your choices influence who you are and what 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 have to believe that you're better than you thought you were.
Start with what you already know. Start small and go from there. Reflect on the lessons that you've taken from your experiences throughout your life. What have you failed at? What has been your greatest success? What were your greatest achievements?
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.
Benjamin Franklin wrote, "Nothing works unless you do."

How To
Accidental discoveries lead to the discovery of penicillin
How did penicillin get created?
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 discovered penicillin kills mold and realized that the new drug could also fight bacteria-related infections. The discovery of penicillin was one of the most significant medical breakthroughs ever. It saved millions of lives and changed the course of medicine forever.
Alexander Fleming wasn't aware at first that this discovery would be so crucial. Neither did anyone else. Penicillin would soon be a powerful antibiotic.
Before World War II, scientists didn't know penicillin was effective against bacterial infection. 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 accepted the offer.
It turned out that penicillin was effective against many different kinds of infection. It became a lifesaver for wounded soldiers during World War II. It also saved many lives for doctors after the war.
Dr. Fleming didn't expect his discovery would have such profound consequences. He just wanted to ensure mold didn't grow on the bacteria cultures he used to study. But he couldn’t imagine how this simple experiment could lead to a remarkable medical breakthrough.
Many discoveries made every day aren't really remarkable. These are just experiments that were made for no specific reason.
You can see how even seemingly small experiments can have a profound impact on the course of history.
Even discoveries that appear to have little in common end up being extremely important. Penicillin was discovered. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
Invention does not happen simply because someone thinks up a brilliant idea. It happens when someone solves a problem. Then they experiment to solve their problem.
