Frequently Asked Questions
What Can We Learn From Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln said, "I am slow to learn; very quick to forget."
He understood how important it is to keep learning. He also knew that there would come an occasion when he would need the ability to abandon old habits and learn new ones.
The same applies to our businesses. No matter how meticulously we plan for success and what our goals are, there will be moments when we get stuck in a rut.
It is vital to continually learn and develop new skills. Even after we achieve success, it is essential to continue learning.
Lincoln was a good example of the right attitude. He knew that he could improve his business' effectiveness, but he couldn’t stop learning.
There are two types: entrepreneurs. They are those who are busy and those that stay smart.
Those who are busy concentrate on growing their businesses. They focus on customer service and marketing strategies.
They may feel accomplished, but they are often missing the mark. Entrepreneurs who aren't focused on learning more won't see sustainable growth.
What separates successful entrepreneurs from average ones? The ability to adapt quickly and to change circumstances.
Entrepreneurs are successful because they look for ways of improving their products and services in the face of challenges.
However, most entrepreneurs stick to old-fashioned methods that no longer work. They don't want to change until the business goes under.
It is essential to learn both the art of adapting and self-reflection in order for success.
What do our mistakes show us?
You can learn from your mistakes. It will teach you something. Even more important, you can correct any mistakes you make. You shouldn't stress about the small details. All of us make mistakes.
Although you might feel embarrassed by a mistake you made, it doesn’t matter how bad you feel. What matters is how you deal with those mistakes. They will eat at your soul if you allow them to bother you. However, if they are seen as opportunities for growth you will come out the other side stronger.
It is important to recognize and learn from your mistakes. It is important to not dwell on the mistake and instead focus on the next steps. Keep moving.
Do not obsess about your mistakes. Instead, try to find ways to improve. Learn from your mistakes and be better tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Made By Accident
Inventors make mistakes. How we deal with those mistakes is what determines whether our inventions succeed or fail.
There are no accidental inventions. Every invention was planned. There is no such thing as an accidental invention.
An invention can be described as a deliberate act. A deliberate decision to create something new. Something that solves a problem. Something that makes life better for someone.
To be successful inventing is to understand that nothing happens by chance. Instead of trying avoidable mistakes, learn from them.
Invention is not easy. Invention is hard work that requires persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
This means that you need to spend lots of time thinking about solutions and ideas. What is it that people are most concerned about? What do they want?
These are the questions you need to ask. These questions will help you decide what type of product or service to develop next.
To do this, you have to put aside any preconceived notions. Any assumptions about what the world wants or needs. Listen carefully to potential and actual customers.
Learn what they really want. Not what they tell you they want.
Once you understand what they want, you must devise a method to deliver it. This is where invention starts.
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 only real mistake is not trying to ensure you do it right the first time.
Changes are inevitable, and you will eventually realize why you made them.
You might even discover that you could have done it better the first time.
You shouldn't give up on trying again. This means that you have learned a lot.
Even though you cannot avoid making mistakes completely, you can minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. Next, look at your mistakes objectively and ask yourself "What have I learned?"
Your mistakes will only be lessons if your honesty is honest. They're opportunities to grow.
Thomas Edison experienced exactly that. He failed numerous times before finally inventing light bulbs.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, each failure was 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. Use them.
You can then try again.
Are we able to learn from past mistakes and avoid making the same mistakes again?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We fail to learn from the mistakes we make. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
Because we continue to believe the same old stories, history repeats itself. We are conditioned to believe in immutable truths and immutable rules. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.
This conditioning prevents us from thinking critically. To question authority. By challenging assumptions. When we do not question, we stagnate. We stagnate if we don’t move forward. And when we stagnate, we repeat the same mistakes.
Because we make the same mistakes, history doesn't have to repeat itself. 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. Everything is constantly changing.
Accepting uncertainty is the key to breaking this cycle. Accepting that things may go wrong. To accept that we may not succeed. To accept that failure is a possibility.
Accept that you may never achieve your goals. But to accept that, you should strive to improve anyway.
It's impossible to move forward if you hold onto the past. If you hold on to the belief that there are certain truths, you'll never be able to move forward.
To achieve freedom, you must be open to change. To move forward, you must give up control.

How To
What can humankind learn by the past mistakes of its ancestors?
We've been there before and we'll likely be back. But there's nothing wrong with learning from history. It might even be a way for humanity to survive another crisis.
It is possible to make it through this life if you keep your mind open and learn from the lessons.
The problem is when people fail to learn and refuse to recognize that humanity hasn't changed much from its beginning.
There are many wisdoms in the old methods, but because they clash with our beliefs, we tend to ignore them. So instead of embracing changes, we find difficult, we cling to the familiar.
But the world changes and our relationship with it is changing. The environment we live in is getting more complicated, which means that there are more problems to be solved.
That means we have to adapt. That makes us vulnerable to failing because we can't rely upon the strategies that worked before.
Doing that can cause us to lose sight our values and make us slaves of our habits.
Our brains evolved to adapt and cope with conditions that existed thousands upon thousands of year ago. Those days aren’t gone forever.
The future isn’t certain. There is still plenty of room for improvement.
Humans are still capable of great feats. Amazing technologies can be created. To discover new frontiers, and explore unexplored territory.
But we choose to be limited. To fear the future. To reject evolution. To think that what worked yesterday will still work tomorrow.
This trend is being fought by some people. They see themselves to be warriors against this status quo. Fighting against the establishment. Oppose the system.
They see themselves as rebels who love to defy convention. They challenge the conventions of society.
They rebel against rules. They dislike conformity. They don't care about social expectations. They think they are superior to everyone else.
To these people, I say good luck!
You're going to need it!
You're facing a difficult battle. The forces that drive mainstream society are powerful.
There are many places on the planet where the majority is not interested in you speaking. There is little interest in your point-of-view.
No matter how brilliant and well-intentioned your ideas are, it doesn't make a difference. You might not find the right people to share your ideas.
Your message may not be heard. This is why you will need to learn from history.
Because this is where the real power lies. This is the place where you can really make a change.
This is where you can inspire others. Here you can inspire others to create movements that change societies.
Let me ask you a question. Do you want your life to be lived up to others' expectations? Or, would you rather choose to create your own path?
