Frequently Asked Questions
What are some lessons from history?
We have three lessons 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. You can only change the future if it is better.
First, there are two ways to make the world better. One is to fight for it; the other is to create it. When you fight for it, you focus on winning and lose sight of why you started fighting in the first place.
You cannot control what people think, but you can make sure they like the way you present them. If you want to persuade someone, you'll eventually fail. However, if you are determined to motivate someone to take action, you will succeed.
Great movements were born out of an idea that was realized and then taken 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.
Second, we have the ability to choose. Either we wait for the right circumstances to unfold or we can make them happen. We must choose the kind of life that we want. Are we content to wait for someone else's approval to let us live? Or are we ready to decide our fate?
I think we're living a golden time right now. There is more opportunity than ever, which makes it exciting. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.
But it also creates a problem. It is essential to determine what you want, and how you can get it.
Let's assume you want to purchase a house. You could relax and hope that someone will give you a gift voucher to Home Depot. You could also ask yourself "What would you love to do?" Look for a job which allows you to do that. Apply for financing.
Now, suppose you were to travel the world. You might ask yourself, "Where do I want to go?" The next step is to start saving money, research countries online, talk with friends, etc. The final step is to book a flight.
Let's pretend you didn’t know what your goal was. If that were the case, you would probably do one of those things anyway. This is how you can increase your chances for getting what you want. Although it may sound silly, it is effective.
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.
Use history to your advantage, to learn from other people's failures and successes and to keep improving until success.
If you don’t feel you have any value to the world, you are already behind. You must believe you are better than you think you are.
Don't worry if you don't know where you should start. Start small and move on. Take stock of the lessons you've learned in your entire life. What have you failed at? What have you succeeded at? What were your greatest achievements?
You are the only person who can limit what you can do. No matter what anyone may say, you can do whatever you want.
Benjamin Franklin once said that "Nothing will work without you."
What are three lessons you can learn about history?
History is full of examples of how we can learn from our mistakes. They can be applied to current business challenges, and transformed into opportunities for growth.
The past has taught us that there is always a better way. There's always someone out there that thinks outside the box, and takes risks that make him or her stand out.
History also shows us that it's often the underdogs who succeed. You can look back at those times when the underdog won.
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 can help increase your success rates.
Are we able to learn from past mistakes and avoid making the same mistakes again?
History repeats itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes repeatedly. We fail to learn from the mistakes we make. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle to mediocrity.
The same old stories are what repeat history. We live in a world where we've been conditioned to believe that there are fixed truths and immutable laws. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.
This makes it difficult to think critically. From challenging authority. Challenge assumptions. And when we don't question, we don't grow. And when we don't grow, 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 don't learn from our errors and keep making the same mistakes.
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 in constant flux.
Accepting uncertainty is the key to breaking this cycle. Accept that things can go wrong. To accept the possibility of failure. Accepting failure as a possibility.
Accept that you may never achieve your goals. You can accept this, but you must continue to strive for improvement.
It's impossible to move forward if you hold onto the past. If you believe there are only certain truths, it will be impossible to move forward.
You can't control your destiny. If you want to progress, you have to give up control.
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.
It is a mistake to not do it correctly the first time.
As long you keep making adjustments, you'll eventually see the reason you made them.
You might even realize that you could have done this better the first attempt.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you should stop trying. You've learned a lot.
Even though you cannot avoid making mistakes completely, you can minimize them. That is what will make the difference in success or failure.
It all starts with acknowledging your mistakes. 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 can be used as opportunities to grow.
And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Edison. He failed numerous times before finally inventing light bulbs.
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. These are your opportunities to learn.
And then try again.

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. He needed to create a canal that would cross the Isthmus of Suez, which is the narrowest point. This would allow ships from Europe to reach India or China. This required the construction of several locks and dams. He traveled to Egypt several times and negotiated financing with Khedive Ismail Pasha. When he returned home to France, he discovered that Napoleon III had been overthrown, and was being replaced by the Second Empire. They had no interest in such an expensive project. It took him three years before the French government agreed to fund the project. After the defeat of the British at the Battle for Omdurman in the Sudan War, 1859, the British signed a treaty that allowed them to access the Red Sea via Suez Canal. This was opened in 1869.
This project was instrumental in opening up trade routes and increasing international commerce.
In addition, the Suez Canal allowed people to travel much faster than before. It used to take weeks or months for people to cross the Isthmian Peninsula before it was constructed. Now it takes just days. People could travel to Paris, London Rome, Rome, and Constantinople easily without having to make long sea voyages or brave dangerous storms. In addition, the Suez Canal shortened the distance between North America and Europe by almost 3,000 miles, making it easier for people to move back and forth. Because of these advantages, the Suez Canal became one of the most important transportation projects ever undertaken.
However, the Suez Canal also caused problems because it divided the Ottoman Empire into two parts, eventually leading 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, both sides continued to trade through the Suez Canal until the Arab-Israeli War in 1948. Both sides initially resisted the temptation to attack each other in fear of being forced to use force. In 1967, Israel took the Sinai peninsula from Egypt and closed the Suez Canal to all shipping, except military vessels. This closure was in effect for four years, until President Sadat opened the canal to civilian traffic in 1973.
