Frequently Asked Questions
Who first said that people who don't learn history from the past are stupid?
While we all would love to live in an ideal world that everyone learns from past mistakes, it is not possible to learn from our own mistakes.
Experience it wrong is the best way to learn.
It is a mistake to not do it correctly the first time.

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.
The fact is there are no accidents when it comes to invention. Every invention was done intentionally. There are no accidental inventions.
An invention is a deliberate act. It is an intentional decision to create something. A solution to a problem. Someone's quality of life will be improved.
However, the key to creating a successful invention is understanding how nothing happens by accident. 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.
It means you have to spend a lot more time thinking about and trying out different ideas. What do people care about? What do they want?
You have to ask yourself questions like these. These questions will help you decide what type of product or service to develop next.
This requires you to let go of any preconceived notions. You should not make assumptions about the world's needs or wants. You need to pay attention to the needs of your potential customers and customers.
You have to learn what they want. You must learn what they really want.
Once you have identified what they want, the next step is to design a way that you can give it to them. This is where invention comes in.
What can we learn about Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln said, "I am slow to learn; very quick to forget."
He knew how important it was to keep learning because he understood that there would come a time when he would need to unlearn old habits and embrace new ones.
The same is true of our businesses. No matter how well we plan for success, there will be times when we hit roadblocks and find ourselves stuck in an unproductive rut.
This is why it is so important to constantly learn new ways to grow. 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. Two types of entrepreneurs exist: those who stay busy and those with smart ideas.
People who are always busy work solely to grow their businesses. They spend their time on product development and marketing, as well as customer service.
While they might feel that they have made a significant contribution, often they are not. Entrepreneurs who aren't focused on learning more won't see sustainable growth.
What sets successful entrepreneurs apart from ordinary ones? You are able to adapt quickly to changing conditions.
Successionable entrepreneurs look for ways that they can improve their products or services when faced with difficult situations.
The average businessperson, however, will continue to use outdated methods that don't 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.
What lessons can history teach us?
We have three lessons from history. First, it is up to you to make a difference in the world. The second is to ensure that people are ready to accept change in their lives. Third, when you change the future, you have to make it better.
The first lesson we can learn is that there are only two ways to transform the world. The first is to fight for it. The second is to make it happen. You can lose sight of the reason you started fighting.
You cannot control what people think, but you can make sure they like the way you present them. If you attempt to convince someone of something, you'll fail. If you try to convince someone to do something, you will fail.
Most great movements began because somebody had an idea and decided to act upon it. No matter whether you are creating change, or reacting to it. Here are three ways you can make your mark: Be clear about the things you want, be honest with where you came from, be courageous enough to go where no other person has gone before, and be clear about who you are.
Second, we have the ability to choose. You can either let your life happen or you can choose to make it happen. We must choose the kind of life that we want. Do we wait for someone else to permit us to live? Or, do we want control of our destiny and take control?
I believe we are living in a golden era. There's more opportunity than ever before, creating a lot of excitement. People feel empowered, which is exciting.
However, it can also be a problem. It's hard to know what you want.
Let's say, for instance, that you are looking to buy a home. You could sit back and hope someone gives you a gift certificate to Home Depot. You could also ask yourself "What would you love to do?" Find a job that will allow you to do it. Apply for financing.
Now let's imagine you wanted to travel around the world. The question you might be asking yourself is "Where do I want go?" Next, you might start saving money, looking up countries online, and talking to your friends. Then, you book a trip.
Now, let's say you didn't know what you wanted. If that were the case, you would probably do one of those things anyway. Asking yourself these questions will increase your chances of getting the results you desire. 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. Our choices shape who we are and who we 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 that you have anything to contribute, then you are already behind. You must believe you are better than you think you are.
You can start by learning what you already know. Start small and then build on it. Look back at the things you've done throughout your lifetime. What are you most proud of? What were your successes? What have you done to overcome obstacles?
Remember that you are the only one who can limit your potential. No matter what others say, you are capable of doing anything you set your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin once said that "Nothing will work without you."

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
The Suez Canal was built in 1869 by Ferdinand de Lesseps, who wanted to connect Europe and Asia through his project. To do so, he had the Isthmus of Suez (the narrowest part) built to allow ships to cross from Europe to reach India. It required the construction and maintenance of several locks as well as dams. He made several trips to Egypt, where he negotiated with the Khedive Ismail Pasha to finance the project. But, upon his return to France, it was discovered that Napoleon III has been overthrown and the Second Empire has taken over, with no interest in such a large-scale project. It took him three years before the French government agreed to fund the project. After the British lost the Battle of Omdurman in Sudan War 1859, they signed a Treaty allowing them to access the Red Sea via Suez Canal. The canal opened in 1869.
The project opened up trade routes to increase international commerce and helped many countries develop around the world, including Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Japan and South Africa.
In addition, the Suez Canal made it possible to travel much quicker than before. Before its construction, it took weeks or months to cross the Isthmian Peninsula; now, it only takes days. People could now visit Paris, London, Rome and Constantinople without needing to travel long distances by sea and brave storms. 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 features made the Suez Canal a major transportation project.
The Suez Canal, however, caused problems. It divided the Ottoman Empire into 2 parts. This led to the First World War. The British used the Suez Canal as a weapon against Germany during World War II, while the Germans attacked Britain with their own version of the canal. Although the Suez Canal fell under Egyptian control at the end of World War II, the British maintained their control over the land to either side.
After the Second World War, both sides continued to trade through the Suez Canal until the Arab-Israeli War in 1948. Both sides were reluctant to take action against the other at first because they feared that one side might use force. Israel finally captured the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt in 1967. After that, the Suez Canal was shut to all shipping except military vessels. The canal was closed for four years before President Sadat opened it to civilian traffic in 1973.
