Frequently Asked Questions
What can we learn from the past?
These are the three most important lessons that history has taught us. To change the world, you have to do it all yourself. Second, when you change how people live, you must ensure they're ready for it. Third, when you change the future, you have to make it better.
The first lesson is to recognize that there are two options for changing the world. The first is to fight for it. The second is to make it happen. 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. But if you set out to inspire someone to action, you'll succeed.
Every great movement began with someone who had an idea and decided that they would act on it. 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 is that each of us has a choice. We can either allow our lives to unfold, or choose to create them. This means we must decide what kind of life we want to lead. Do we wait for someone else to permit us to live? Do we want to control our destiny?
I think we're living a golden time right now. There is more opportunity than ever, which makes it exciting. People feel empowered to create their futures, and that's exciting.
It can also cause problems. It is essential to determine what you want, and how you can get it.
Let's suppose you want to buy your first house. You could sit back and hope someone gives you a gift certificate to Home Depot. You can also ask yourself: "What would my dream job be?" Next, find a job that allows you to do this. Next, apply for financing.
Let's suppose you want to travel the globe. Now, you might wonder "Where would I like to go?" Then, you'd start saving money, researching countries online, talking to friends, etc. And finally, you'd book a flight.
Now, let's say you didn't know what you wanted. In this case, you'd probably end-up doing one of the things. Asking yourself these questions will increase your chances of getting the results you desire. It may seem odd, but it works.
The third lesson is that you can always improve your future no matter what happens. It's easy. Our choices shape who we are and who we become.
So the trick is to use history as a guide, to learn from others' mistakes and successes, and keep improving until you succeed.
If you don’t feel you have any value to the world, you are already behind. You must believe in yourself and that you are more than you believed.
You don't need to know everything in order to start. Start small, and work your way up. Take stock of the lessons you've learned in your entire life. What are you most proud of? What were your successes? How did you 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 Learn Easily from Human History's Victories and Failures?
You don't have to wait for history to repeat itself. It doesn't take very long to learn from the failures of human history. It's important to learn from the mistakes of human history and not repeat them.
Recognize the lessons from the past to help you build your business.
This can be done by reading books about leadership and management strategies, as well as case studies from successful companies that have existed for decades.
You can learn from their successes and avoid the pitfalls they fell into.
You can also study examples of businesses that have gone bankrupt. Why did they fail. What are the common threads among these failures. These insights will allow you to avoid costly errors.
Finally, learn about the lives of historical figures like Abraham Lincoln (John D. Rockefeller), Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs), and Elon Musk. Although they had some of most impressive resumes anywhere, none knew how manage people or run businesses. Learn from their mistakes to help you make better decisions.
The bottom line is that you can learn from the failures and victories of human experience. Just spend a few minutes each day thinking about what worked in the past and how you can apply it today.
Who said that history doesn't teach the ignorant?
Even though we want to live in an ideal universe where everyone learns through history, it's not possible to learn more from our failures.
There's no better way to learn to do something right than to experience it wrong.
The most serious mistake is to try to make it right the first go.
Changes are inevitable, and you will eventually realize why you made them.
It is possible to discover that you could have done things better the first time around.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you should stop trying. It means you've learned a lot.
Although you might not be able make every mistake, it is possible to minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. Then look at them objectively and ask yourself: "What did I learn?"
Your mistakes will only be lessons if your honesty is honest. They can be used as opportunities to grow.
Thomas Edison was the victim of this fate. He failed many times before inventing the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he took each failure as an opportunity and improved 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 failures. You should learn from your mistakes.
Then, try again.
What are three things you can learn from history?
There are numerous examples throughout history that demonstrate how we can learn and improve from our mistakes. They can be applied to current business challenges, and transformed into opportunities for growth.
Our past has shown us that there's always another way. There's always someone out there that thinks outside the box, and takes risks that make him or her stand out.
History has shown us that often it is the underdogs that succeed. You can look back at those times when the underdog won.
Look to the past and find ways to bring the lessons forward into the future. Learn from the mistakes and successes of others.
These lessons will help you increase your success rate.

How To
Accidental discovery of penicillin: A successful invention
How did penicillin develop?
Alexander Fleming, who had some bacteria cultures left behind, noticed that penicillin was growing on them. He believed the mold might kill the bacteria so he set out to find a way that would destroy the mold.
Penicillin was able to kill the mold. Then he discovered that it could also be used to fight bacteria-related infections. Penicillin was a major medical breakthrough. It saved millions of lives, and it changed the course forever of medicine.
Alexander Fleming was unaware at first of the importance of his finding. Neither did anyone else. Nobody knew penicillin would be such a powerful anti-biotic.
Scientists discovered penicillin could be used to treat bacterial infections, but this was not until after World War II. In 1945, the U.S. Army asked Dr. Fleming if he could use penicillin to treat soldiers suffering from wounds infected with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming consented to try.
Penicillin proved to be effective against many kinds of infections. It became a lifesaver for wounded soldiers during World War II. It saved many lives, and it was used by doctors to save more.
Dr. Fleming never expected his discovery to have such far-reaching effects. He just wanted to ensure mold didn't grow on the bacteria cultures he used to study. He couldn't believe that this simple experiment would result in such a medical breakthrough.
Many discoveries made every day aren't really remarkable. These are just experiments that were made for no specific reason.
You can see how even seemingly small experiments can have a profound impact on the course of history.
Even discoveries that appear to have little in common end up being extremely important. Penicillin was discovered. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
The invention doesn't happen because someone thinks of a brilliant idea. It happens because someone has a problem. Then they experiment to solve their problem.
