Ever since the moment that our universe was created by the Big Bang more than 13.7 billion years ago, scientists have never stopped searching for answers in the process of our formation. For all the mysteries that have emerged regarding the black void that seems to surround us, they did not stop our minds from imagining the most terrifying aliens, TV shows, and science fiction concepts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to Learn from the Mistakes and Victories of Human History.
You don't need to wait for history repeats itself. Learning from human history's mistakes doesn't take long. Be sure to not repeat the mistakes!
The key is to take what worked in the past and learn from it.
This can be achieved by reading books on leadership, management strategies, and case studies of successful companies who 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. Do these failures have any common themes? These insights will allow you to avoid costly errors.
You can also read about historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, John D. Rockefeller and Steve Jobs. They had some of the most impressive resumes in the world, yet none knew how to manage people or run a company. You can learn from their mistakes if you want.
The bottom line is that you can learn from the failures and victories of human experience. Simply spend a few seconds each day reflecting on the successes and failures of the past to find ways to use them today.
Who was the original person to have said that historical people don't learn.
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 only real mistake is not trying to ensure you do it right the first time.
You'll eventually discover why you made the changes if you continue to make them.
It is possible to discover that you could have done things better the first time around.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try again. That means you've learnt 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.
Acknowledging your mistakes begins the process. Next, look at your mistakes objectively and ask yourself "What have I learned?"
When you're open with yourself, you will see that your failures are not failures. They're learning experiences that can help you grow.
Thomas Edison had to go through the exact same thing. 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.
And over time, he invented the most popular form of lighting today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your failures. Take advantage of them.
And then try again.
What lessons can history teach us?
History has taught us three important lessons. First, it is up to you to make a difference in the world. It is important to make sure that people are prepared for change when you try to improve their lives. You can only change the future if it is better.
The first lesson is to recognize that there are two options for changing the world. One is fight for it. Fighting for it is about winning, not remembering why you started fighting.
You can't control how people react to your ideas, but you can control how you present them. If you attempt to convince someone of something, you'll fail. But, if your goal is to inspire someone to act, you'll be successful.
Most great movements began because somebody had an idea and decided to act upon it. Whether you are creating change or responding to it, these are the three best ways to make your mark. Be clear about what is important to you, be open about where you came from, and dare to go where no one else has.
The second lesson is the fact that we all have the power to make our lives better. We can either allow our lives to unfold, or choose to create them. We must choose the kind of life that we want. Is it better to decide what kind of life we want or wait for someone else? Or are we ready to decide our fate?
I think we're living a golden time right now. We have more opportunities than ever before which is creating excitement. People feel empowered to make their own futures and that's very exciting.
However, it can also be a problem. Because not everyone knows exactly what they want or even how to get it, it's important to figure out what you want and find a way to get it.
For example, let's say you want to buy a house. You could either sit back and expect someone to gift you a Home Depot gift certificate. Or, you can ask yourself, "What do I love to be doing?" Find a job that will allow you to do it. Next, apply for financing.
Let's pretend you want to travel all over the globe. You might ask yourself, "Where do I want to go?" You'd then begin saving money, researching different countries online and speaking with friends. Then, you book a trip.
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. This is how you can increase your chances for getting what you want. This may seem absurd, but it works.
The third lesson is that regardless of what happens next, there are always ways to improve the future. This is because it's simple. Our choices impact who we become and who we are.
You can learn from the mistakes and successes of others and continue to improve until you achieve your goals.
If you don't believe you have something to offer the world, you're already behind. You must believe in yourself and that you are more than you believed.
You can start by learning what you already know. Start small, and work your way up. Think about what you've learned throughout your life. What have you failed at? What were your successes? What were your greatest achievements?
Finally, remember that the only person who can limit your potential is you. No matter what others say, you are capable of doing anything you set your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin wrote, "Nothing works unless you do."
What can we learn from history to avoid repeating past errors?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We make mistakes and fail to learn. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle to mediocrity.
History repeats itself when we believe the same old stories. We have been taught to believe there are unchanging laws and fixed truths. They cannot be changed.
This makes it difficult to think critically. The ability to question authority. Questioning authority. We don't grow if we don’t question. We stagnate if we don’t move forward. When we stagnate we make the same mistakes again and again.
But history isn't the same because we continue making the same mistakes. History repeats itself because we don't learn from our errors and keep making the same mistakes.
By changing your outlook on the world and understanding that there is no set way, you can break the cycle. Nothing is permanent. All things are subject to constant change.
Uncertainty is key to breaking the cycle. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. Accepting that failure is possible.
Accept the fact that you might not reach your goals. Acceptance of this fact is okay. But, don't let it stop you from striving to improve.
It's impossible to move forward if you hold onto the past. If you insist on the existence of fixed truths, then you will never move forward.
If you want freedom, you have to let go. To move forward, you must give up control.

How To
How did marketing history become propaganda?
The term "propaganda," which was first used in 1879 by Max Weber, a German sociologist, was derived from the Greek word Praopagos which means "to communicate well". 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's a "systematic attempt to influence attitudes and behavior."
George Orwell, British journalist wrote in "Propaganda," a 1928 book that he published. "To understand the true nature and purpose of propaganda, it is not the intention make people believe any thing; it is only to change their beliefs... It is designed to make them agree with one thing instead of the other."
Edward Bernays (1891 –1955) was Sigmund Freud’s nephew. In 1922, he coined the term "public Relations". He said that "the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in a democratic society." He created the public relations firm Bernays & Company in 1927. He worked there until 1955.
Bernays' "engineering consent" technique was developed in the 1920s and 1950s. It involves influencing public opinion by using publicity campaigns and advertising. 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. Philip Morris was his most notable client. He developed a campaign against tobacco smoking in 1939. This campaign was recommended by the Surgeon general. This led to the passage of the Cigarette Advertising Act in 1965, which prohibited any cigarette advertisement in print media, including magazines, newspapers, and television.
He also offered advice to President Franklin D Roosevelt concerning how to deal the Great Depression's growing labor movement. Bernays recommended that the president declare a war on hunger and use federal government power to ensure adequate food supply. This strategy helped the president win reelection in 1936 by making the government appear benevolent and fatherly.
Bernays was a pioneer in the promotion of radio listening to increase sales. He also introduced the concept of "branding" and "advertising" in the early 1930s. He believed that consumers could be influenced by appealing to their emotional side and making them feel special. His slogan "Have You Got What It Takes?" was one example. He encouraged women to get war bonds for their money in 1933.
He founded a political committee, "Young People for Freedom," 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 CIA in 1953 to stage a coup d'etat in Iran. Shah Reza Pahlevi would replace Mohammad Mosaddegh. This was to stop Mosaddegh acquiring Iranian oilfields. Bernays published articles after the coup praising the new regime for being "moderate", "progressive,"and "modernized".
Bernays won many other awards during his career.
