Elizabeth I of England and Ireland reigned for 45 years over a golden age of peace, prosperity and flourishing art and culture. And she shocked the medieval world by doing it all without a man. But that certainly wasn’t for lack of proposals. Elizabeth had at least 16 suitors in her lifetime. In the last episode we met the suitors of her youth, whose ambitions twice landed Elizabeth in the tower. At her coronation Elizabeth declared that she was married to her kingdom and would live and die a virgin. But nobody believed her. Today we’ll meet the English lords and foreign royals who fell over themselves in their attempts to win the Queen’s hand. Through it all, one man, Robert Dudley remained by her side. We’ll take a closer look at their intimate friendship and investigate the claim that they might have had a secret love child...

What are some lessons from history?

These are the three most important lessons that history has taught us. To change the world, you have to do it all yourself. 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.

The first lesson is that there are two ways to change the world. One is to fight to get it. The other is to create. You can lose sight of the reason you started fighting.

Although you cannot control the reactions of people to your ideas, you can control how they are presented. If you want to persuade someone, you'll eventually fail. If you try to convince someone to do something, you will fail.

People had an idea, and they decided to take action. This is how most great movements started. So whether you're creating change or reacting to it, the best way to make your mark is to follow these three rules: Be clear about what you want, be honest about where you come from, and be brave enough to go where nobody else has gone before.

The second lesson is the fact that we all have the power to make our lives better. We can either wait for our lives to happen to us, or we can choose to make them happen. This means that we have to decide what kind life we want. Are we content to wait for someone else's approval to let us live? Or do we want to take charge of our destiny?

I think we're living a golden time right now. This is a time of great opportunity, which creates a lot excitement. People feel empowered, which is exciting.

It also presents a problem. It's hard to know what you want.

For example, let's say you want to buy a house. You could sit back and hope someone gives you a gift certificate to Home Depot. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" Look for a job which allows you to do that. Then, you can apply for financing.

Now let's imagine you wanted to travel around the world. It's possible to ask, "Where do you want to travel?" You might then start saving money and researching other countries online. You'd then book a ticket.

Let's say that you don't have a clear idea of what you want. You would most likely do one of these things. But by asking yourself questions like this, you increase your chances of getting what you want. It might seem ridiculous, but it's true.

The third lesson is the ability to always improve the future, regardless of what happens next. This is because it's simple. 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 have something to offer the world, you're already behind. You must believe you are better than you think you are.

You don't need to know everything in order to start. Start small and move on. Look back at the things you've done throughout your lifetime. What have you failed to do? Which areas have you excelled? What were your greatest achievements?

Remember that you are the only one who can limit your potential. No matter what anyone says, you can do anything you put your mind to.

In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "Nothing will work unless you do."


What can Abraham Lincoln teach us?

Abraham Lincoln said that he was slow to learn, but 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.

The same applies to our businesses. We will hit roadblocks sometimes, and get stuck in unproductive ruts no matter how many times we plan for our success.

That's why it's crucial to seek new ways to grow and evolve constantly. We must never stop learning, even after reaching the top of our success.

Lincoln was the right person. He recognized that while he could become more effective in his business, he couldn't stop learning.

There are two types entrepreneur. There are two types: those who stay active and those who stay informed.

Those who stay busy focus solely on growing their business. They spend their time on product development and marketing, as well as customer service.

Although they may feel they have achieved something significant, they often miss the mark. Unless these entrepreneurs are also focused on staying smarter, they won't achieve sustainable growth.

What makes successful entrepreneurs different from average entrepreneurs? You are able to adapt quickly to changing conditions.

Entrepreneurs who are successful find ways to improve their products and services when they face challenges.

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.

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


What can our failures teach us?

You can learn from your mistakes. It will teach you something. However, it is possible to correct a mistake. Don't fret about the little stuff, because mistakes are okay. We all make them.

It's okay to feel embarrassed about a mistake. However, it doesn't really matter if you feel ashamed. It is how you deal and learn from your mistakes that matters the most. If you let them bother you, they'll eat away at you inside. But if you view them as opportunities for growth, you'll come out stronger on the other side.

Recognize and move on from a mistake. This is the best way to learn from it. Focus on the next step and don't dwell on the past. Keep moving.

Don't dwell on your mistakes. Instead, learn from your mistakes and look for ways you can improve. Learn from your mistakes and be better tomorrow.

Successful Inventions made by accident

Inventors make errors. However, the way we react to those errors will determine whether our inventions turn out to be great successes or failures.

There are no accidental inventions. Every invention was done intentionally. There is no such thing a accidental invention.

An invention is a deliberate act. Intentionally making something new. Something that solves a problem. Someone's quality of life will be improved.

However, the key to creating a successful invention is understanding how nothing happens by accident. Instead of trying to avoid mistakes, learn from them.

While we wish to claim that invention can be easy, it isn’t. Invention takes persistence and hard work. It's not a quick fix. It takes patience.

That means that you will have to spend much time thinking about issues and new ideas. What are people interested in? What do they want?

Ask yourself these questions. These questions will help guide you in deciding what kind of product/service you should develop next.

This requires you to let go of any preconceived notions. You should not make assumptions about the world's needs or wants. Listen carefully to potential and actual customers.

You must find out what they want. Not what they tell themselves they want.

Once you understand what they want, you must devise a method to deliver it. That's where invention begins.

How To

The Suez Canal Changed the World

Ferdinand de Lesseps designed the Suez Canal to connect Europe to Asia in 1869. To do this, he built a canal across Isthmus of Suez. It allowed ships from Europe to travel to India and China. This involved the construction of several locks, dams and tunnels. He went to Egypt many times to negotiate with Khedive Ismail Pasha for financing the project. However, when he returned to France, he found that Napoleon III had been overthrown and replaced by the Second Empire, which had no interest in such a costly project. It took him three more years before the French government approved funding the project. After the British had been defeated at the Battle Of Omdurman during Sudan War, 1859 saw them sign a treaty which allowed them to enter the Red Sea through the Suez Canal. It was completed in 1869.

This project helped open up trade routes and increase international commerce, leading to the development of many countries around the globe, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Russia, South Africa, and the United States.

In addition, people can travel much more quickly than ever thanks to the Suez Canal. Before the construction of the Suez Canal, it took weeks to cross Isthmian Peninsula. It now takes 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. The Suez Canal was one of the greatest transportation projects of all time.

But the Suez Canal was also problematic because it divided up the Ottoman Empire, which eventually led to World War I. During World War I, the British used Suez Canal to attack Germany. However, the Germans used their version of Suez Canal against Britain. The Suez Canal was finally under Egyptian control after the war ended, but the British retained the land to its right.

After the Second World War ended, the Suez Canal continued to be an important part in global trade until 1948 when it was closed by the Arab-Israeli Conflict. At first, both sides did not want to act against each other, fearing the other side 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 four-year-old closure ended when President Sadat reopened Suez Canal to civilian traffic in 1972.
