Most Sadistic Things Nero Ever Did

You’ve heard of Nero, of course. He’s a highlight of world history in high school - the crazy Roman emperor who supposedly fiddled with a tune while the city burned to the ground.

You’ve heard he was out of his mind, sure, but you have no idea exactly how nuts the last of the Julio-Claudian emperors was. Born into the twisted web of the Roman royal family, Nero was adopted by Emperor Claudius as heir to the Roman Empire. Nero distinguished himself as even crazier than any of his predecessors (which is saying something considering Caligula came before this guy).

Frequently Asked Questions

Are we able to learn from past mistakes and avoid making the same mistakes again?

History repeats itself because we keep making the same mistakes again and again. We make mistakes and fail to learn. We don't change. We get complacent. We settle for mediocrity.

The same old stories are what repeat history. We are conditioned to believe in immutable truths and immutable rules. These laws are unchangeable and we have no control over them.

This makes it difficult to think critically. It prevents us from questioning authority. By challenging assumptions. When we do not question, we stagnate. When we don't learn, we stagnate. Stamina is when we continue to make the same mistakes.

Because we make the same mistakes, history doesn't have to repeat itself. We don't learn from our mistakes, and we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.

By changing your outlook on the world and understanding that there is no set way, you can break the cycle. Nothing is permanent. Everything is constantly changing.

Uncertainty is key to breaking the cycle. Accept that things might go wrong. To accept that we may not succeed. Accepting failure as a possibility.

Accept that your goals may not be achieved. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.

To hold on to the past is to be certain. You'll never move forward if you cling to the idea that there are fixed truths.

To achieve freedom, you must be open to change. To move forward, you must give up control.


What lessons can history teach us?

History has taught us three important lessons. The first is that you have to do it yourself if you want to change the world. Second, when you change how people live, you must ensure they're ready for it. The third thing you must do to improve the future is to first change how people live.

The first lesson is that you can change the world in two ways. One is fight for it. Fighting for it is about winning, not remembering why you started fighting.

You cannot control what people think, but you can make sure they like the way you present them. You'll inevitably fail if you set out to convince someone of something. But if you set out to inspire someone to action, you'll succeed.

Great movements were born out of an idea that was realized and then taken action. Whether you are creating change or responding to it, these are the three best ways to make your mark. Be clear about what is important to you, be open about where you came from, and dare to go where no one else has.

The second lesson we learn is that everyone has the option to choose. We have two options: we can wait for life to happen to you or we can make it happen. This means that it is up to us to decide how we want our lives to be. Do we wait for someone else to permit us to live? Or, do we want control of our destiny and take control?

I believe that we are living in the golden age. There's more opportunity than ever before, creating a lot of excitement. People feel empowered to create their futures, and that's exciting.

It also presents 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. You could wait and see if someone gives you Home Depot gift certificates. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" Find a job that will allow you to do it. Then, you can apply for financing.

Now, let's say you wanted to travel the world. It's possible to ask, "Where do you want to travel?" Then, you'd start saving money, researching countries online, talking to friends, etc. Then, you book a trip.

Let's pretend you didn’t know what your goal was. You'd likely end up doing one of these things anyway. You can increase your chances to get what you want by asking these questions. It might seem ridiculous, but it's true.

And the third lesson is that no matter what happens next, you can always improve the future. It's easy. Our choices affect who and what we become.

The trick to success is to look back at history and learn from their mistakes and successes.

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 your failures been? What are you proud of? What have you done to overcome obstacles?

Finally, remember that the only person who can limit your potential is you. No matter how much anyone tells, you can achieve anything you set your mind.

Benjamin Franklin stated, "Nothing can work unless it works."


What can we learn about Abraham Lincoln?

Abraham Lincoln stated, "I am slow learner; I am quick to forget."

He understood the importance of learning and knew that he would eventually need to let go of old habits in order to embrace new ones.

This is true for our businesses as well. No matter how well we plan for success, there will be times when we hit roadblocks and find ourselves stuck in an unproductive rut.

It's important to keep learning and growing. If we do nothing else, we must continue to learn, even after we reach the pinnacle of success.

Lincoln was a good example of 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. They are those who are busy and those that stay smart.

Those who stay busy focus solely on growing their business. They are involved in marketing strategies, product development, customer support, and other tasks every day.

They may feel accomplished, but they are often missing the mark. Unless these entrepreneurs are also focused on staying smarter, they won't achieve sustainable growth.

What sets successful entrepreneurs apart? The ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances.

When faced with challenges, successful entrepreneurs always look for ways to improve their existing products or services.

However, most entrepreneurs stick to old-fashioned methods that no longer work. They are unwilling to change their course of action until their business collapses.

For success, you need to be skilled in both adaptation and self-reflection.


What are three things that you can learn from the past?

There are many examples in history of how we can learn from our failures. These lessons can be applied to the challenges of business today and turned into opportunities for growth.

The past teaches us that there is always another way to do things. There is always someone who thinks out of the box and takes risks to make themselves stand out.

History shows that the underdogs are often the ones who win. When you feel overwhelmed, stuck or lost, think back to the times when they 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.

Use these lessons to help you improve your success rate.

How To

The Suez Canal Changed the World

Ferdinand de Lesseps was the man who built the Suez Canal. His goal was to connect Europe with Asia. To do so, he needed to build a canal across the Isthmus of Suez (the narrowest point), allowing ships from Europe to reach India and China. This process required building a series of locks and dams along the way. He visited Egypt multiple times, and there he met with Khedive Ismail Pasha in order 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 was three years later that the French government funded 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.

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 allowed people to travel much faster than before. Before the construction of the Suez Canal, it took weeks to cross Isthmian Peninsula. It now 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 advantages made the Suez Canal one of the most important transport projects ever.

Unfortunately, the Suez Canal created problems for the Ottoman Empire by dividing it into two parts. This eventually led to the First World War. During the war, the British used the Suez Canal to attack Germany, but the Germans attacked Britain using their version of the canal. Although the Suez Canal passed under Egyptian control following the end the war, both the British and Egyptians still held the land.

After the Second World War, the Suez Canal remained an important part of global trade until the Arab-Israeli conflict began in 1948. Both sides didn't want to fight each other initially, as they were afraid the other might use force. Eventually, Israel captured the Sinai peninsula from Egypt in 1967, and the Suez Canal was closed to all shipping except for military vessels. The closure lasted four years until President Sadat reopened the canal to civilian traffic in 1973.
