Frequently Asked Questions
What lessons can history teach us?
Three lessons can be learned from history. The first is that you have to do it yourself if you want to change the world. It is important to make sure that people are prepared for change when you try to improve their lives. Third, you can't change the past without changing the future.
The first lesson is to recognize that there are two options for changing the world. One is to fight to get it. The other is to create. Fighting for it is about winning, not remembering why you started fighting.
It is impossible to control how people respond to your ideas. However, it is possible to control how you present them. If you attempt to convince someone of something, you'll fail. If you want to inspire others to act, you will succeed.
Most great movements began because somebody had an idea and decided to act upon it. No matter whether you are creating change, or reacting to it. Here are three ways you can make your mark: Be clear about the things you want, be honest with where you came from, be courageous enough to go where no other person has gone before, and be clear about who you are.
The second lesson we learn is that everyone has the option to choose. You can either let your life happen or you can choose to make it happen. This means we must decide what kind of life we want to lead. 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. This is a time of great opportunity, which creates a lot excitement. People feel empowered to make their own futures and that's very exciting.
However, it can also be a problem. It's not easy to know what you want or how to get it. Therefore, it is important to identify what you want and then find a way.
Let's take, for example, the desire to purchase a house. You could relax and hope that someone will give you a gift voucher to Home Depot. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" Next, find a job that allows you to do this. Final step: Apply for financing.
Now let's imagine you wanted to travel around the world. Now, you might wonder "Where would I like to go?" You might then start saving money and researching other countries online. The final step is to book a flight.
Let's pretend you didn’t know what your goal was. In this case, you'd probably end-up doing one of the things. But by asking yourself questions like this, you increase your chances of getting what you want. It may seem odd, but it works.
The third lesson is that regardless of what happens next, there are always ways to improve the future. It's easy. 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 that you have anything to contribute, then you are already behind. You must believe you are better than you think you are.
Don't worry if you don't know where you should start. Start small, and work your way up. Look back at the things you've done throughout your lifetime. Which areas have you struggled with? Which areas have you excelled? How have you overcome obstacles?
Remember that you are the only one who can limit your potential. No matter what others say, you are capable of doing anything you set your mind to.
In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "Nothing will work unless you do."
Who was the original person to have said that historical people don't learn.
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 biggest mistake you can make is not ensuring that it goes right the first and only time.
As long you keep making adjustments, you'll eventually see the reason you made them.
You might even discover that you could have done it better the first time.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you should stop trying. It means you've 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.
Recognizing your mistakes is the first step. Look at them objectively and ask: "What can I learn?"
You'll find that mistakes can be viewed as lessons if you are honest with yourself. These are opportunities to learn.
And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Edison. He failed many times before he finally invented the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he used each one as an opportunity to improve his design.
He invented the best form of lighting that is popular today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Take advantage of them.
You can then try again.
What do our mistakes show us?
Do not worry too much about making mistakes. It's a learning experience that will help you to improve your skills. But more importantly, when you make a mistake, you can change it. You shouldn't stress about the small details. We all make them.
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. If you look at them as opportunities for growth, they'll make you stronger.
It is important to recognize and learn from your mistakes. Don't dwell on it; instead, focus on the next step. Keep moving.
Don't dwell on your mistakes. Instead, try to find ways to improve. Learn from your mistakes, and you will be a better person tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Made from Accident
Inventors make mistakes. But, how we handle those mistakes will determine if our inventions become great successes and failures.
It is a fact that invention does not happen by accident. Every invention was planned. An accidental invention is not possible.
An invention can be described as a deliberate act. An intention to create something. It solves a problem. It makes someone's life easier.
To be successful inventing is to understand that nothing happens by chance. Instead of trying to avoid mistakes, learn from them.
Invention is not easy. Invention is hard work that requires persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
It means you have to spend a lot more time thinking about and trying out different ideas. What do people care about? What do they want?
You need to ask these questions. These questions will help to determine the type of product and service that you should be developing next.
This requires you to let go of any preconceived notions. Preconceived notions about what the world needs or wants are not valid. Listen carefully to potential and actual customers.
You must find out what they want. You must learn what they really want.
Once you have figured out their needs, you need to find a way to make it happen. That's where invention begins.
What are three things you can learn from history?
History is filled with examples of how mistakes can be learned from. They can be applied to today's business challenges.
The past teaches us there is always another way. There's always someone out there that thinks outside the box, and takes risks that make him or her stand out.
History shows that the underdogs are often the ones who win. If you ever feel lost, overwhelmed or stuck, remember the times when the underdog prevailed.
Look back on the past and learn from it. Learn from the failures and successes of others.
These lessons will help improve your success rate.

How To
Accidental discoveries lead to the discovery of penicillin
How did penicillin come into existence?
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.
He discovered penicillin kills mold and realized that the new drug could also fight bacteria-related infections. Penicillin's discovery was one of most important medical breakthroughs. It saved millions lives and changed forever the course of medicine.
Alexander Fleming wasn't aware at first that this discovery would be so crucial. The other person didn't know the same. Penicillin would soon be a powerful antibiotic.
Penicillin was discovered to be effective in fighting bacterial infections by scientists only after World War II. In 1945, the U.S. Army contacted Dr. Fleming to see if penicillin could help soldiers who had been infected with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming consented to try.
Penicillin proved to be effective against many kinds of infections. It became a lifesaver for wounded soldiers during World War II. It saved many lives, and it was used by doctors to save more.
Dr. Fleming was not prepared for his discovery to have such profound effects. He wanted to make sure mold wouldn't grow on bacteria cultures that he had previously studied. He could not imagine that this simple experiment would lead him to such a miraculous medical breakthrough.
The truth is, many discoveries every day don't seem to amount to anything special at all. These discoveries are nothing more than experiments, done for no particular purpose.
You can see how even seemingly small experiments can have a profound impact on the course of history.
Even discoveries that appear to have little in common end up being extremely important. Penicillin was one example. Photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
It is not because someone has a brilliant idea. It happens because someone is faced with a problem. And then, they solve that problem through experimentation.
