If there is one thing, we love is to prove the impossible is possible. And that is exactly what this next discovery is all about. Bloomberg themselves headline this one as something that was ‘once thought impossible’, but sure enough, scientists have discovered microplastics in live human lungs for the first time. With the airway passages in the deepest parts of our lungs being so narrow, it is long been thought that it would simply not be possible for microplastics to be found there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we have to learn history in order to avoid making the same mistakes as before?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We do not learn from our failures. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle to 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 prevents us thinking critically. From questioning authority. By challenging assumptions. When we do not question, we stagnate. And when we don't grow, we stagnate. We repeat the same mistakes when we stagnate.
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.
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. Nothing is permanent. 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. Accepting failure as a possibility.
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.
If you hold fast to certainty, you'll always be stuck in 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. You must let go of control if you want to move forward.
How can you easily learn from the mistakes and victories of human history?
It doesn't take long for history to make a comeback. It doesn't take much time at all to learn from the mistakes of human history. You just need to avoid repeating the mistakes.
The key is to recognize what worked well in the past and apply those lessons to 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'll be able draw inspiration from their success and avoid the common pitfalls that they fell into.
You can also study examples of businesses that have gone bankrupt. Why did they fail? What are the common threads among these failures. These insights will allow you to avoid costly errors.
Finally, read about notable historical figures like Abraham Lincoln and John D. Rockefeller. They had some of the most impressive resumes in the world, yet none knew how to manage people or run a company. It is essential to learn from their mistakes in order to gain valuable lessons.
It is possible to learn from both the successes and failures of human history. Simply spend a few seconds each day reflecting on the successes and failures of the past to find ways to use them today.
What can we learn about Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln once said, "I am slow learning; very quick forgetting."
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 holds true for 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's important to keep learning and growing. If we do nothing else, we must continue to learn, even after we reach the pinnacle of success.
Lincoln was a good example of the right attitude. He realized that he could not stop learning, even though he was able to be more productive in his business.
There are two types entrepreneurs. There are two types of entrepreneurs: those who keep busy and those who stay sharp.
Those who are busy concentrate on growing their businesses. They work on marketing strategies, product development, customer service, and other daily tasks.
While they may feel they have accomplished something worthwhile, many times they don't. If these entrepreneurs don't focus on being smarter, they will not be able achieve sustainable growth.
What is the difference between successful entrepreneurs and average entrepreneurs? 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.
The average businessperson, however, will continue to use outdated methods that don't work. 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 are some lessons learned from history?
There are three lessons we've learned from history. First, it is up to you to make a difference in the world. The second is to ensure that people are ready to accept change in their lives. You can only change the future if it is better.
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.
You cannot control what people think, but you can make sure they like the way you present them. If you try and convince someone to do something, it will be a failure. If you try to convince someone to do something, you will fail.
The idea of a great movement was born when someone had it and took action. 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. Either we wait for the right circumstances to unfold or we can make them happen. This means that it is up to us to decide how we want our lives to be. Is it better to decide what kind of life we want or wait for someone else? Or do we want to take charge of our destiny?
I believe that we are living in the golden age. This is a time of great opportunity, which creates a lot excitement. It's exciting that people feel empowered and able to create their futures.
This creates a problem. It's difficult for people to know exactly what they want or how to achieve it.
For example, let's say you want to buy a house. You could relax and hope that someone will give you a gift voucher to Home Depot. You could also think about what you would love to do. Next, find a job that allows you to do this. Then, you can apply for financing.
Let's suppose you want to travel the globe. It's possible to ask, "Where do you want to travel?" Then, you'd start saving money, researching countries online, talking to friends, etc. And finally, you'd book a flight.
Let's assume you didn't really know what you wanted. You'd likely end up doing one of these things anyway. Asking yourself these questions will increase your chances of getting the results you desire. It might seem ridiculous, but it's true.
And the third lesson is that no matter what happens next, you can always improve the future. It is very 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 that you have anything to contribute, then you are already behind. You must believe that you are capable of doing more than you thought possible.
You can start by learning what you already know. Start small and then build on it. Take stock of the lessons you've learned in your entire life. What are you most proud of? Which areas have you excelled? What were your greatest achievements?
You are the only person who can limit what you can do. No matter what others say, you are capable of doing anything you set your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin said, "Nothing will be successful unless you do."

How To
Accidental Discovery of Penicillin: Successive Inventions
How did penicillin become a reality?
Alexander Fleming found penicillin in a bacteria culture he had forgotten about and accidentally discovered it. He believed that mold might kill the bacteria and therefore he attempted to find a solution.
Penicillin was found to kill the mold. He then realized that this new drug could also be used against bacteria. The discovery of penicillin was one of the most significant medical breakthroughs ever. It saved millions of lives, and it changed the course forever of medicine.
Alexander Fleming had no idea at first what his discovery would mean. And neither did anyone else. Penicillin would prove to be an extremely powerful antibiotic.
Researchers discovered that penicillin is effective against bacterial infections only after World War II. In 1945, the U.S. Army asked Dr. Fleming if he could use penicillin to treat soldiers suffering from wounds infected with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming agreed.
Penicillin was effective against many types infections. Penicillin was an invaluable lifesaver for wounded soldiers in World War II. It saved many lives, and it was used by doctors to save more.
Dr. Fleming didn't expect his discovery would have such profound consequences. He was just trying to prevent mold growth on the bacteria cultures that his research had taught him. He could not imagine that this simple experiment would lead him to such a miraculous medical breakthrough.
Many of the discoveries that are made each day don't seem like they add up to anything remarkable. These are just experiments that were made for no specific reason.
It is amazing how sometimes seemingly insignificant experiments can transform history.
Even discoveries that appear to have little in common end up being extremely important. Like the discovery of penicillin. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
The invention doesn't happen because someone thinks of a brilliant idea. It happens because someone is faced with a problem. They then solve the problem by experimentation.
