Sure, your hipsters and your steampunks may love cribbing Victorian style, choosing to remember the pennyfarthings and top hats that look so fun on a Pinterest page, but let's face it: in those days if you weren't a member of the aristocracy, your life was probably unremittingly awful from start to all-too-brief finish. Disease, filth, and poverty were the norm, with people turning to whatever means of support that they could find - even if those means ended up being totally nasty. Victorian occupations usually tended to involve doing something that no human should have to do, for unreasonable hours, until it killed you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who was the original person to have said that historical people don't learn.
As much as we would love to live in an ideal world where everyone learns from history, there is nothing more valuable than learning from our mistakes.
The best way to learn how to do something correctly is to actually experience it.
The only real mistake is not trying to ensure you do it right the first time.
You'll eventually discover why you made the changes if you continue to make 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. It means you've learned a lot.
It may not always be possible to avoid making errors, but it is possible minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes begins the process. Take a step back and look at your mistakes objectively. Then ask yourself, "What did you learn?"
You'll find that mistakes can be viewed as lessons if you are honest with yourself. They're learning experiences that can help you grow.
Thomas Edison went through exactly the same thing. He failed many times before inventing the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. He used every failure as an opportunity to improve the 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. Take advantage of them.
Then, try again.
What Can We Learn From 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 much we plan for success in the future, there will always be times when we are unable to move forward and end up stuck in a rut.
It is crucial to continue to learn and grow. If we are to achieve the pinnacle, we must keep learning.
Lincoln had the right mindset. He realized that he could not stop learning, even though he was able to be more productive in his business.
There are two types of entrepreneurs. 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 are involved in marketing strategies, product development, customer support, and other tasks every day.
While they may feel they have accomplished something worthwhile, many times they don't. 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 and to change circumstances.
Entrepreneurs who are successful find ways to improve their products and services when they face challenges.
However, most entrepreneurs stick to old-fashioned methods that no longer work. They won't change until their business is destroyed.
You must be able to master both self-reflection and adaptation in order to succeed.
What are three lessons you can learn about history?
There are numerous examples throughout history that demonstrate how we can learn and improve from our mistakes. These lessons can be applied today to business problems and used as opportunities for growth.
We have learned from the past that there are always other ways to do things. There is always someone who thinks out of the box and takes risks to make themselves stand out.
History shows us that often, it's the underdogs and not the winners who win. If you ever feel lost, overwhelmed or stuck, remember the times when the underdog prevailed.
Learn from the past and use the lessons to improve your future. Learn from the failures and successes of others.
These lessons will help improve your success rate.
Do we have to learn history in order to avoid making the same mistakes as before?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We fail to learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle to mediocrity.
Because we continue to believe the same old stories, history repeats itself. We have been taught to believe there are unchanging laws and fixed truths. They cannot be changed.
This keeps us from being able to think critically. From questioning authority. Questioning authority. We can't learn if we don’t challenge our assumptions. We stagnate when we don’t grow. We repeat the same mistakes when we stagnate.
History doesn't repeat itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes. History repeats itself when we refuse to learn from past mistakes and instead keep repeating them.
By changing your outlook on the world and understanding that there is no set way, you can break the cycle. Nothing is unchangeable. All things are subject to constant change.
Uncertainty is key to breaking the cycle. Accept that things can go wrong. To accept that we may not succeed. Accept that failure may be possible.
Accept that you may not achieve your goals. Acceptance of this fact is okay. But, don't let it stop you from striving to improve.
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.
If you want freedom, you have to let go. To move forward, you must give up control.

How To
What can humankind learn by the past mistakes of its ancestors?
We've been here before, we'll probably be here again. Learning from history is a good thing. It might even help humanity survive another crisis.
It is possible to make it through this life if you keep your mind open and learn from the lessons.
The problem is when people fail to learn and refuse to recognize that humanity hasn't changed much from its beginning.
There is much wisdom in the old ways but we tend ignore them because they don't fit with our beliefs. Instead of accepting changes that we find difficult, instead we hold on to what is familiar.
However, the world changes constantly and so does the way we live together. The environment we live in is getting more complicated, which means that there are more problems to be solved.
This means that we must also change. This makes us more susceptible to failure, as we won't have the same strategies that worked previously.
We lose sight of our values when we do this and we become slaves to the habits we have created.
Our brains evolved to adapt to conditions that existed thousands of years ago. But those days aren't gone forever.
The future isn’t certain. There is still much to be done.
Humans are still capable of great feats. We can still create remarkable technologies. To explore new frontiers and discover unexplored territories.
Yet, we are often tempted to limit ourselves. To fear the future. To reject evolution. To believe that what worked yesterday will work tomorrow.
Some people are trying to reverse this trend. These people see themselves as fighters against the status-quo. Fighting against the establishment. Against the system.
They view themselves as rebels who are proud to challenge convention. Who challenge the norms and conventions of society.
They resist rules and regulations. They don't like conformity. They don't care much about social expectations. They believe they know best than everyone else.
These people I wish you all the best!
It's going to be very important!
You are fighting an uphill struggle. Mainstream society is driven by powerful forces.
Many people around the world have no interest in hearing your point of view. There is little interest in your point-of-view.
It doesn't matter if you're brilliant or well-intentioned. Your ideas might not be accepted by the majority.
Your message could be lost on the ears of deaf people. That's why you might need some history lessons.
Because this is where the real power lies. This is where you truly can make a difference.
This is where you can inspire others to follow their dreams. Where you can build movements that transform societies.
So let me ask you something. Is it your goal to live up the other person's expectations all of the time? Or, would you rather choose to create your own path?
