Sometimes the most amazing discoveries are not hidden from view but have been kept in plain sight for hundreds of years. This was the case with an English manual that was recently discovered to have been an unknown part of the prominent Harley collection of ancient manuscripts for hundreds of years. The document in question was catalogued under the non-descript marker Harley MS 2874 and seemed rather bland and unassuming.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who first said that people who don't learn history from the past are stupid?
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.
You can't learn anything better than trying it wrong.
The most serious mistake is to try to make it right the first go.
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.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you should stop trying. That's a sign that you have learned a lot.
Although you might not be able make every mistake, it is possible to minimize them. This is the difference between success, and failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. Then look at them objectively and ask yourself: "What did I learn?"
Being honest with yourself will help you see that your mistakes are only lessons. They are learning opportunities.
Thomas Edison was the victim of this fate. He failed numerous times before finally inventing light bulbs.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. He used every failure as an opportunity to improve the design.
He invented the best form of lighting that is popular today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Use them.
And then try again.
What are the three most important lessons from history?
There are many examples in history of how we can learn from our failures. They can be applied to today's business challenges.
The past teaches us that there is always another way to do things. There are always people out there who think outside the box and take risks that make them stand out.
History also shows us that it's often the underdogs who succeed. When you feel overwhelmed, stuck or lost, think back to the times when they won.
Look back on the past and learn from it. Learn from the mistakes and successes of others.
These lessons can help increase your success rates.
Is it possible to learn from the past and not repeat past mistakes?
History repeats itself because we keep making similar mistakes over and again. We fail to learn from the mistakes we make. We don't change. We get 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 conditioning prevents us from thinking critically. From challenging authority. Questioning authority. We don't grow if we don’t question. 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 because we refuse lessons from our mistakes and continue making them over and again.
By changing your outlook on the world and understanding that there is no set way, you can break the cycle. Nothing is unchangeable. Everything is in constant flux.
Accepting uncertainty is the key to breaking this cycle. Accepting that things may go wrong. Accept that failure is possible. Accept that failure is possible.
Accept the fact that you might not reach your goals. Accept that you may not achieve your goals. However, it is important to keep working towards improving.
To hold on to the past is to be certain. 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.
What are some lessons learned from history?
Three lessons can be learned from history. First, to truly change the world, one must take responsibility for it. Second, it is essential to prepare people for change if you want to transform their lives. Third, you can't change the past without changing the future.
The first lesson we can learn is that there are only two ways to transform the world. One is to fight for it; the other is to create it. If you fight for it you lose sight on why you started to fight.
You can't control how people react to your ideas, but you can control how you present them. You'll inevitably fail if you set out to convince someone of something. If you want to inspire others to act, you will succeed.
People had an idea, and they decided to take action. This is how most great movements started. 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 can either allow our lives to unfold, or choose to create them. This means that it is up to us to decide how we want our lives to be. Do we wait for someone else to permit us to live? Or are we ready to decide our fate?
I'd argue that we're living in a golden age right now. There is more opportunity than ever, which makes it exciting. It's exciting that people feel empowered and able to create their futures.
It can also cause problems. It is essential to determine what you want, and how you can get it.
Let's assume you want to purchase a house. You could relax and hope that someone will give you a gift voucher to Home Depot. You could also ask yourself "What would you love to do?" Then, look for a job that lets you do it. Next, apply for financing.
Now, suppose you were to travel the world. You might ask yourself, "Where do I want to go?" Next, you might start saving money, looking up countries online, and talking to your friends. The final step is to book a flight.
Let's pretend you didn’t know what your goal was. If that were the case, you would probably do one of those things anyway. By asking yourself such questions, you increase the likelihood of getting what your heart desires. Although it may sound silly, it is effective.
The third lesson is that you can always improve your future no matter what happens. This is because it's simple. Our choices shape who we are and who we become.
Use history to your advantage, to learn from other people's failures and successes and to keep improving until success.
You're already behind if you don't think you have anything to offer the world. You must believe that you are capable of doing more than you thought possible.
If you don't know where to begin, start with what you know. Start small and build from there. Consider what you have learned over the course of your life. Which areas have you struggled with? What have you succeeded at? How did you overcome your obstacles?
Remember that you are the only one who can limit your 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
How did marketing history become propaganda?
When Max Weber, German sociologus and German sociologist came up with the term propaganda from the Greek phrase "praopagos", the word means "to speak well", the term was first used. The Latin verb propaganda, which can be translated as "nearby", or "at hand," and its noun "agogos, which can translate to "speech" or discourse, are the sources of the word. It is "a systematic attempt to shape attitudes and behavior."
In his book "Propaganda," published in 1928, British journalist George Orwell wrote: "To understand the true nature of propaganda, we must realize that it is not the intention to make people believe anything; it is only the intention to change their beliefs...It is intended to make them accept one thing rather than another."
Edward Bernays (1891 –1955) was Sigmund Freud’s nephew. In 1922, he coined the term "public Relations". He believed that "the conscious, intelligent manipulation of organized habits and opinions is an important component of a democratic country." In 1927, he founded the public relations firm "Bernays & Company," where he worked until 1955.
From the 1920s to the 1950s, Bernays developed an "engineering consent" technique - influencing public opinion through advertising and publicity campaigns. His methods were later adopted by mass media outlets such as Time Magazine and CBS News. Bernays became a close collaborator with corporations and government agencies in order to influence public opinion after World War II. His clients included Johnson & Johnson and General Electric as well as Procter & Gamble and Coca-Cola.
The tobacco industry was his most important client. He assisted Philip Morris in launching a campaign to stop smoking. In 1939, the Surgeon General recommended that smoking should be banned inside. In 1965, the Cigarette Advertising Act was adopted. This bans any cigarette advertisement in print media such as newspapers and television.
He also provided advice to President Franklin D Roosevelt regarding how to handle the growing labor force during the Great Depression. Bernays suggested to the president that he declare a "war against hunger" and use the federal government's ability to ensure adequate food supplies. This strategy made it look like the government was a father figure and helped the president to win re-election in 36.
As the popularity of radio increased, Bernays started promoting the idea of "radio listening" to increase sales of radios. In the 1930s, Bernays introduced the concepts of "branding", and "advertising". He believed that consumers can be influenced by appealing directly to their emotions and making them feel special. He promoted the slogan "Have it all!" He encouraged women to buy war bonds in 1933.
He established a political action group called "Young People for Freedom" back in 1944. The group's goal was to encourage Americans aged 18-30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower was elected president in 1952 after Bernays' efforts were successful.
Bernays convinced the CIA to stage a coup against Iran in 1953. Shah Reza Pahlevi replaced Mohammad Mosaddegh. This was necessary to stop Mosaddegh nationalizing Iranian oil fields. Bernays published articles after the coup praising the new regime for being "moderate", "progressive,"and "modernized".
Bernays received many other awards throughout his career.
