In 1969, one of the most significant scientific advancements of modern history was made, as man first stepped foot on the moon. Despite the clear importance of such a momentous occasion, the original footage could not be tracked down and was admittedly lost by NASA themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we have to learn history in order to avoid making the same mistakes as before?
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 become complacent. We settle to mediocrity.
The same old stories are what repeat history. We are conditioned to believe in immutable truths and immutable rules. We cannot change them.
This is a way to stop us from thinking critically. The ability to question authority. Challenge assumptions. 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.
You can break the cycle of history repetition by changing how you look at the world and yourself, by understanding that nothing is set in stone. Everything is subject to constant flux. Everything is subject to constant flux.
Accepting uncertainty is the key to breaking this cycle. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. To accept the possibility of failure. Accept that failure is possible.
Accept that you may not achieve your goals. But to accept that, you should strive to improve anyway.
To hold on to the past is to be certain. If you believe there are only certain truths, it will be impossible to move forward.
To achieve freedom, you must be open to change. You can't control progress unless you let go.
What can we learn from Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln stated, "I am slow learner; I am quick to forget."
He was aware of the importance to continue learning, knowing that there would be a time when he would have to relearn his old habits and adopt new ones.
The same is true of our businesses. No matter how hard we plan for success there will be times where we run into roadblocks that cause us to get stuck in a rut.
It is crucial to continue to learn and grow. We must never stop learning, even after reaching the top of our success.
Lincoln had the right attitude. Lincoln understood that he could be more efficient in his business but that he couldn't quit learning.
There are two types. There are two types of entrepreneurs: those who keep busy and those who stay sharp.
People who are always busy work solely to grow their businesses. They focus on customer service and marketing strategies.
They may feel like they've accomplished something meaningful, but often they're missing the mark. These entrepreneurs will not achieve sustainable growth unless they are focused on becoming smarter.
What makes successful entrepreneurs different from average entrepreneurs? The ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
Successionable entrepreneurs look for ways that they can improve their products or services when faced with difficult situations.
Average entrepreneurs, on the other hand, stick to old methods that don't work anymore. They don't want to change until the business goes under.
To succeed, you must master both the art of adaptation and self-reflection.
What can we learn from the past?
Three lessons can be learned from history. First, it is up to you to make a difference in the world. Second, it is essential to prepare people for change if you want to transform their lives. Third, the future must be better if you want to change it.
First, there are two ways to make the world better. One is fight for it. You can lose sight of the reason you started fighting.
While you cannot control their reactions to your ideas or how they present them, you can influence how they are presented. If you want to persuade someone, you'll eventually fail. However, if you are determined to motivate someone to take action, you will succeed.
Most great movements began because somebody had an idea and decided to act upon it. You can create change or respond to it. The best way to do this is to be clear and honest about your goals, where you are coming from, and to be bold enough to take the initiative to go places no one has before.
The second lesson is that each of us has a choice. We have two options: we can wait for life to happen to you or we can 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 you want to be in control of your destiny?
I'd argue that we're living in a golden age right now. There are more possibilities than ever before, which has created a lot of excitement. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.
This creates a problem. It's difficult for people to know exactly what they want or how to achieve it.
Let's suppose you want to buy your first house. You could wait and see if someone gives you Home Depot gift certificates. You could also ask yourself "What would you love to do?" Look for a job which allows you to do that. Final step: Apply for financing.
Now, suppose you were to travel the world. Perhaps you are asking, "Where do i want to go?" Then, you'd start saving money, researching countries online, talking to friends, etc. Finally, you would book a plane.
Let's say that you don't have a clear idea of what you want. In this case, you'd probably end-up doing one of the things. By asking yourself such questions, you increase the likelihood of getting what your heart desires. It may seem silly, but it works.
The third lesson is that regardless of what happens next, there are always ways to improve the future. It is easy to see why. Our choices affect who and what we become.
Use history to your advantage, to learn from other people's failures and successes and to keep improving until success.
If you don't believe you have something to offer the world, you're already behind. You have to believe that you're better than you thought you were.
You can start by learning what you already know. Start small and build from there. Look back at the things you've done throughout your lifetime. What are you most proud of? What have you succeeded at? How have you overcome obstacles?
Last but not least, remember that no one can stop you from reaching your full potential. You can accomplish anything, no matter what anyone tells you.
In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "Nothing will work unless you do."
How to easily learn from the victories and mistakes of human history
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. You just need to avoid repeating the mistakes.
Recognize the lessons from the past to help you build your business.
This is possible by studying books about leadership and managing strategies as well case studies of successful businesses that have been around for decades.
You will be able to learn from their success stories and avoid the same mistakes they made.
It is also possible to study the bankruptcy cases of other businesses. Why did they fail. Is there a common theme among these failures. These insights can help you avoid making costly mistakes.
Finally, you will find information about some of the most famous historical figures, such as Abraham Lincoln or John D. Rockefeller. Although they had some of most impressive resumes anywhere, none knew how manage people or run businesses. If you want to learn from the mistakes they made, it is important to understand why.
The bottom line is that learning from the victories and mistakes of human history is easy. You just need to spend a few moments every day reflecting on what worked in the past, and then finding ways to apply them today.

How To
Discovery of Penicillin: Successful Inventions Made by Accident
How did penicillin come into existence?
Alexander Fleming found penicillin in a bacteria culture he had forgotten about and accidentally discovered it. He believed that the mold could kill the bacteria so he searched for something to destroy it.
Penicillin was found to kill the mold. He then realized that this new drug could also be used against bacteria. Penicillin was one the greatest medical breakthroughs. It saved millions lives and changed forever the course of medicine.
Alexander Fleming had no idea at first what his discovery would mean. Nobody else did. Penicillin would soon be a powerful antibiotic.
Scientists discovered penicillin could be used to treat bacterial infections, but this was not until after World War II. The U.S. Army asked Dr. Fleming in 1945 if penicillin could be used to treat soldiers with wounds infected by deadly germs. Dr. Fleming consented to try.
Penicillin is effective against many types of infections, as it turned out. It became a lifesaver for wounded soldiers during World War II. It saved many lives and helped doctors continue their work after the war.
Dr. Fleming didn't expect his discovery would have such profound consequences. He wanted to make sure mold wouldn't grow on bacteria cultures that he had previously studied. But he couldn’t imagine how this simple experiment could lead to a remarkable medical breakthrough.
Truth is that most discoveries every day don’t appear to add up to anything significant. They are simply experiments made for no reason.
Look back on history and you'll see that even seemingly minor experiments can make all the difference.
Even discoveries that appear to have little in common end up being extremely important. Penicillin was one example. Photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
Invention doesn't happen simply because someone has a great idea. It happens when someone solves a problem. And then they find a solution through experimentation.
