Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most important thing you should know about history?
This question doesn't have an easy answer. Learning is about three things. First, we need to recognize that knowledge is the power of learning. Second, it is important to recognize that knowledge is cumulative. Third, we must appreciate how quickly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power. This empowers us with the knowledge we need to make better decisions and live better lives. Perfect information would make it easy to make informed decisions. We'd do what we want, without worrying about whether it was correct or not.
Knowledge is not only power but also cumulative. Once we have learned something, we can continue adding knowledge to our brains. As time goes on, we become smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now move on to the third point. While knowledge is cumulative, it doesn't stay static for very long. Information is constantly changing. Scientists are constantly discovering new facts, theories, or ways to think. Every day, scientists discover new facts and theories.
Technology is a key component of our culture. It allows us to instantly access information. Technology allows us to save vast amounts data and share it between millions of people across the globe.
Globalization has transformed the way we see technology and knowledge. Globalization is the process by which ideas and products spread across borders. Globalization means that knowledge is accessible anywhere.
The internet enables anyone to access information anywhere in the world. Anybody can access the internet to read, watch movies, listen and play music, as well as surf the net. All of these activities require knowledge.
Information is becoming more accessible and more specialized. You can find thousands of websites that offer advice on subjects such as finance, health, business, sports, and travel. These sites have information on every topic.
You'll find only a few sites that offer automotive-related services or products if your goal is to purchase a car online. You won't find thousands of websites covering every subject. Instead, you'll only find a handful that deal with cars.
Experts in specific fields are able to create and share valuable knowledge. Experts often have a deep understanding of a particular field. They're also able to produce high-quality content that's targeted toward their specific audience.
Because consumers don't need to scroll through endless amounts of information, they can focus on a specific niche. Instead, they can focus on a small number of sites with lots of useful content.
Specialization is also a benefit for experts, who can create strong businesses around their expertise. If someone purchases a book, they expect the author to be an expert in his field and to present a clear and concise explanation. He wants to be sure that the author understands what he is trying to communicate.
An expert who does not specialize risks losing out to potential customers who expect him be knowledgeable.
It's not necessary to be a specialist in only one area. Many people today are experts in many areas. You might be an accountant or lawyer, a doctor or teacher. It is also possible to be a parent, spouse, friend, or fan.
Some experts say that the commonality of specialization makes it impossible to succeed in many different areas.
How do you become an expert on multiple subjects? You can do it by practicing. You have to put in the time to learn. You can make great progress if you continue to work until people recognize you.
Many industries today are dedicated to helping others accomplish this goal. People can quickly learn through courses, workshops seminars, conferences, schools and other venues.
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. They can be applied to today's business challenges.
The past teaches us that there is always another way to do things. There's always someone out there that thinks outside the box, and takes risks that make him or her stand out.
History also shows that sometimes it's the underdogs who triumph. 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 successes and failures of others.
These lessons will help you increase your success rate.
Who first said that people who don't learn history from the past are stupid?
Although we wish for a world where everyone learned from history, learning from our mistakes is more important than living in that ideal world.
There's no better way to learn to do something right than to experience it wrong.
The real error is not making sure you do it correctly the first attempt.
As long as you keep making changes, you'll eventually find out why you made the change in the first place.
It is possible to discover that you could have done things better the first time around.
It doesn't mean that you shouldn't continue to try. That's a sign that you have 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.
Recognizing your mistakes is the first step. Next, look at your mistakes objectively and ask yourself "What have I learned?"
You'll find that mistakes can be viewed as lessons if you are honest with yourself. These are opportunities to learn.
Thomas Edison was the victim of this fate. He failed many other times before he inventing the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he used each one as an opportunity to improve his design.
Over time, he created the most popular type of lighting available today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Please take advantage of them.
And then, you can try again.
Can learning about history stop us from repeating past mistakes?
History repeats itself because we keep making the same mistakes again and again. We do not learn from our failures. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History also repeats itself because we keep believing the same old stories. Our culture has conditioned us to believe there is an immutable law and a fixed truth. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.
This prevents us thinking critically. The ability to question authority. To challenge assumptions. We can't learn if we don’t challenge our assumptions. If we don't grow we stagnate. If we stagnate, then we make the exact same mistakes.
History doesn't repeat itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes. History repeats itself because we refuse to learn from our mistakes and instead continue to make the same ones over and over.
You can end the cycle of history repetition by changing the way that you view the world. By understanding that nothing is permanent, you can see the possibilities. Nothing is fixed. All things are subject to constant change.
The key to breaking the cycle is to embrace uncertainty. Accept that things can go wrong. Accept that failure is possible. Accept that failure may be possible.
Accept that you may never achieve your goals. Acceptance of this fact is okay. But, don't let it stop you from striving to improve.
You will always remain stuck in the past if you hold on to certainty. If you insist on the existence of fixed truths, then you will never move forward.
You can't control your destiny. If you want progress, you need to let go of control.

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. To accomplish this, he had to build a canal through the Isthmus of Suez (the narrowest point), to allow ships from Europe and Asia to reach India/China. It required the construction and maintenance of several locks as well as dams. He visited Egypt multiple times, and there he met with Khedive Ismail Pasha in order to finance the project. 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. He was there for three years before the French government offered to finance 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.
This project opened up trade routes and increased international commerce. It led to the development in many countries, including South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
In addition, the Suez Canal made it possible to travel much quicker than before. It used to take weeks and months to cross Isthmian Peninsula. But now it takes only days. People could visit Paris, London or Rome without the need to cross dangerous storms or endure long sea voyages. Additionally, the Suez Canal reduced the distance between North America & Europe by nearly 3,000 miles, making it more convenient for people to travel back and forward. These features made the Suez Canal a major transportation project.
The Suez Canal caused problems as it divided the Ottoman Empire in two, ultimately leading 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. The Suez Canal was re-established under Egyptian control. However, the British held the land on either end.
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 were initially reluctant to oppose each other because they feared the other would use force. Israel eventually seized the Sinai peninsula in 1967 from Egypt. The Suez Canal was then closed to all shipping but military vessels. The four-year-old closure ended when President Sadat reopened Suez Canal to civilian traffic in 1972.
