Today, however, those hippos are causing quite the uproar in Colombia. While hippos aren't native to South America, that hasn't stopped them from making a home in Colombia, wandering away from Hacienda Nápoles, and multiplying quickly. These hippos haven't hurt anyone yet, but it's likely only a matter of time before these sometimes dangerous animals get too close to humans for comfort.

Successful Inventions made by accident
Inventors are human. How we deal with those mistakes is what determines whether our inventions succeed or fail.
It is a fact that invention does not happen by accident. Every invention was planned. There is no such thing a accidental invention.
Invention is an intentional act. An intentional decision to create something new. Something that solves a problem. You can make someone's life easier.
The key to success is not assuming that everything happens by accident. Instead of trying avoidable mistakes, learn from them.
Invention is not easy. Invention is hard work that requires persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes patience.
It means you have to spend a lot more time thinking about and trying out different ideas. What are people concerned about? What are they looking for?
You need to ask these questions. These questions will help determine what product or service you should create next.
You must let go of all preconceived notions. Don't make assumptions about what people want or need. Listen to your potential and current customers.
You must find out what they want. It is not what they think they want.
Once you have figured out their needs, you need to find a way to make it happen. This is where invention begins.
Who was the first to say that those who don’t learn from history are ignorant?
We all wish to live in a world where everyone learns from the past, but there are more valuable things than learning from our mistakes.
It's not better to try something wrong than to learn how to do it right.
The most serious mistake is to try to make it right the first go.
As long as you keep making improvements, you'll eventually understand why you made those changes.
You might even realize that you could have done this better the first attempt.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try again. This means that you have learned a lot.
Although you might not be able make every mistake, it is possible to minimize them. And that's the difference between success and failure.
Recognizing your mistakes starts at the beginning. Then look at them objectively and ask yourself: "What did I learn?"
When you're open with yourself, you will see that your failures are not failures. They're opportunities to grow.
And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Edison. He failed many times before inventing the light bulb.
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. Please take advantage of them.
And then, you can try again.
What are three things that you can learn from the past?
There are numerous examples throughout history that demonstrate how we can learn and improve from our mistakes. They can be applied to today's business challenges.
The past has taught us that there is always a better 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. So when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or even lost, look back to those times when the underdog won.
Look back on the past and learn from it. Learn from others' failures and successes.
These lessons can help you improve the success rate.
Is it possible to learn from the past and not repeat past mistakes?
History repeats itself because we keep making similar mistakes over and again. We fail to learn from the mistakes we make. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle to mediocrity.
History repeats itself when we believe the same old stories. Our culture has conditioned us to believe there is an immutable law and a fixed truth. They cannot be changed.
This makes it difficult to think critically. It prevents us from questioning authority. Questioning authority. If we don’t ask questions, we don’t grow. When we don't learn, we stagnate. And when we stagnate, we repeat the same mistakes.
But history doesn't repeat itself because we 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.
By changing your outlook on the world and understanding that there is no set way, you can break the cycle. There is no set in stone. Everything is constantly changing.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. Accept that failure is possible.
Accept that you may not reach your goals. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.
Holding on to the past will keep you stuck. If you believe there are only certain truths, it will be impossible to move forward.
To achieve freedom, you must be open to change. To move forward, you must give up control.

How To
How did marketing history become propaganda?
The term "propaganda" was first used in 1879 when German sociologist Max Weber coined the word from the Greek word "praopagos" which means "to speak well." The Latin verb propaganda, which can be translated as "nearby", or "at hand," and its noun "agogos, which can translate to "speech" or discourse, are the sources of the word. It's a "systematic attempt to influence attitudes and behavior."
George Orwell, British journalist and author of "Propaganda," wrote that propaganda was not intended to convince people to believe anything. He only wanted to change their beliefs...
Edward Bernays (1891 – 95), who was Sigmund's nephew, and psychoanalyst. He became famous when he created the term "public relations" (1922). He said, "The conscious and intelligent manipulations the organized habits or opinions of the masses is an essential element in a democratic democracy." In 1927, he founded the public relations firm "Bernays & Company," where he worked until 1955.
Bernays' "engineering consent" technique was developed in the 1920s and 1950s. It involves influencing public opinion by using publicity campaigns and advertising. His techniques were later adopted and used by mass media organizations such as Time Magazine. CBS News. NBC News. Newsweek. Bernays started working closely with government agencies and corporations after World War II. His clients included Johnson & Johnson and General Electric as well as Procter & Gamble and Coca-Cola.
The tobacco industry was his most important client. Philip Morris, who he assisted in developing a campaign against smoking was the most prominent client. The campaign resulted from the SurgeonGeneral recommending that smoking be banned indoors. The Cigarette Advertising Act was passed in 1965. It prohibited any advertisement for cigarettes in print media including newspapers and television.
He also advised President Franklin D Roosevelt on how to deal with the growing labor movement during the Great Depression. Bernays suggested that President Franklin D Roosevelt declare a “war on hunger” and use the federal governments power to ensure sufficient food supplies. This strategy made government appear like a caring father figure and helped President Franklin D. Roosevelt win re-election.
Bernays promoted radio listening as a way to increase radio sales. He introduced the concepts "branding" (and "advertising") in the 1930s. He believed that consumers can be influenced by appealing directly to their emotions and making them feel special. His slogan "Have You Got What It Takes?" was one example. He encouraged women to buy war bonds in 1933.
In 1944, he established the political action committee "Young People for Freedom". This group had the goal of encouraging Americans aged 18 to 30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower won, in 1952, the presidency after Bernays' efforts.
Bernays convinced the CIA to stage a coup against Iran in 1953. Shah Reza Pahlevi replaced Mohammad Mosaddegh. This was done to stop Mosaddegh's nationalization of Iranian oil fields. Bernays wrote articles praiseing the new regime after the coup as "moderate," progressive, and modernized.
Bernays received many other awards throughout his career.
