He also invented the most widely used form of lighting, which is still in use today.

What Can We Learn From 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 nothing else is important, we must learn more, even after we have reached the pinnacle.
Lincoln had the right attitude. He understood that his business could be more successful, but he couldn’t afford to stop learning.
There are two types. Those who stay busy and those who stay smart.
Those who keep busy are focused on their business' growth. They spend their time on product development and marketing, as well as customer service.
Although they may feel they have achieved something significant, they often miss the mark. They won't be able to sustain their growth if they don't also work smarter.
What sets successful entrepreneurs apart? The ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
When faced with challenges, successful entrepreneurs always look for ways to improve their existing products or services.
However, the average entrepreneur will stick with outdated methods that do not work. They don't want to change until the business goes under.
You must be able to master both self-reflection and adaptation in order to succeed.

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
Ferdinand de Lesseps created the Suez Canal in 1869. This was his dream to connect Europe and Asia. To do this, he built a canal across Isthmus of Suez. It allowed ships from Europe to travel to India and China. This process required building a series of locks and dams along the way. He traveled to Egypt several times and negotiated financing with Khedive Ismail Pasha. After he returned from Egypt, he discovered that Napoleon III had been defeated and had been replaced by The Second Empire. This was not a good idea as it would have cost too much. He was there for three years before the French government offered to finance the project. After the British had been defeated at the Battle Of Omdurman during Sudan War, 1859 saw them sign a treaty which allowed them to enter the Red Sea through the Suez Canal. It was completed in 1869.
This project opened up trade routes, increased international commerce, and led to the development and integration of many countries around world, including Canada and Australia.
In addition, people can travel much more quickly than ever thanks to the Suez Canal. Before its construction, it took weeks or months to cross the Isthmian Peninsula; now, it only takes days. People could visit Paris, London or Rome without the need to cross dangerous storms or endure long sea voyages. The Suez Canal cut the distance between North America to Europe by nearly 3000 miles. This made it easier to move back and foreward. These benefits made the Suez Canal one the most important transportation projects.
The Suez Canal, however, caused problems. It divided the Ottoman Empire into 2 parts. This led to the First World War. During the war the British used Suez Canal in an attack on Germany. But the Germans attacked Britain using their canal version. The Suez Canal was re-established under Egyptian control. However, the British held the land on either end.
After the Second World War ended, the Suez Canal continued to be an important part in global trade until 1948 when it was closed by the Arab-Israeli Conflict. Both sides were initially reluctant to oppose each other because they feared the other would use force. Israel took over the Sinai peninsula of Egypt from Egypt in 1967. In that year, all shipping except military vessels was prohibited from the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal was closed to civilian traffic for four more years after being shut down by Egypt's military forces. President Sadat eventually reopened it in 1973.
