The Dark Origins of Cinderella

In large part thanks to Disney's version of her story, Cinderella is a familiar fairy tale character. The girl is maltreated by her stepmother and stepsisters, and essentially ends up as their servant. When it comes time for a royal celebration, Cinderella can't attend - until the intervention of her fairy godmother, some lovable creatures, and a magical gourd. By the time the tale ends, Cinderella finds her Prince - well, he finds her - and they live happily ever after. But this is just one telling of “Cinderella,” and it's a fairly tame one.

Who originally said those who don't learn from history?

Even though we want to live in an ideal universe where everyone learns through history, it's not possible to learn more from our failures.

It's not better to try something wrong than to learn how to do it right.

The biggest mistake you can make is not ensuring that it goes right the first and only time.

As long as you keep making changes, you'll eventually find out why you made the change in the first place.

You may even find that you could do it better the second time.

You shouldn't give up on trying again. This means that you have learned a lot.

Although you might not be able make every mistake, it is possible to minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.

It all starts with acknowledging your mistakes. Take a step back and look at your mistakes objectively. Then ask yourself, "What did you learn?"

Your mistakes will only be lessons if your honesty is honest. They can be used as opportunities to grow.

Thomas Edison went through exactly the same thing. He failed many times before he finally invented the light bulb.

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.

Then try again.


Do we have to learn history in order to avoid making the same mistakes as before?

History repeats itself because we keep making the same mistakes again and again. We make mistakes and fail to learn. We don't change. We get complacent. We settle in mediocrity.

History repeats itself because we believe the same old stories. We are conditioned to believe in immutable truths and immutable rules. They cannot be changed.

This conditioning prevents us from thinking critically. From questioning authority. Challenge assumptions. We can't learn if we don’t challenge our assumptions. If we don't grow we stagnate. If we stagnate, then we make the exact same mistakes.

Because we make the same mistakes, history doesn't have to repeat itself. We don't learn from our mistakes, and we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.

It is possible to break the cycle of history repetition. You can change the way you see the world, and your perspective by realizing that nothing is fixed in stone. Nothing is permanent. All things are subject to constant change.

Accepting uncertainty is the key to breaking this cycle. Accept that things can go wrong. Accept that failure is possible. Accept that failure may be possible.

Accept that you may not reach your goals. You can accept this, but you must continue to strive for improvement.

You will always remain stuck in the past if you hold on to certainty. If you insist on the existence of fixed truths, then you will never move forward.

You must let go if you want to be free. To move forward, you must give up control.

How To

How did propaganda become marketing success?

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 word came from the Latin verb "propere," meaning "nearby" or "at hand," and the noun "agogos," meaning "speech or discourse." It is "a systematic attempt to shape 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 - 1995), who served as Sigmund Freud's nephew and psychoanalyst, became famous after he invented the term "public relations" in 1922. He believed that "the conscious, intelligent manipulation of organized habits and opinions is an important component of a democratic country." He established the public relations company "Bernays & Company" where he worked up to 1955.

Bernays created an "engineering consent” technique that influenced public opinion via advertising and publicity campaigns from the 1920s through the 1950s. His techniques were later adopted by mass media companies such as Time Magazine, CBS News, NBC News, and Newsweek. Bernays worked closely with corporations and government agencies after World War II to influence public opinion. Some of his clients included Johnson & Johnson, General Electric, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Company, U.S. Department of Defense, American Tobacco Company, DuPont, Rayonier, and the United States Chamber of Commerce.

The tobacco industry was his most important client. Philip Morris, who he assisted in developing a campaign against smoking was the most prominent client. The campaign resulted from the SurgeonGeneral recommending that smoking be banned indoors. The Cigarette Advertising Act of 1965 was passed. This law prohibited any cigarette advertising in print media, such as magazines, newspapers, or television.

He also gave advice on how to deal during the Great Depression with the growing labor movement. Bernays advised that the president declare "war on Hunger" and use federal government's power in order to ensure adequate food. This strategy made it look like the government was a father figure and helped the president to win re-election in 36.

Bernays promoted the idea of "radio-listening" in order to increase radio sales. He introduced the concepts "branding" (and "advertising") in the 1930s. He believed that consumers can be influenced by appealing directly to their emotions and making them feel special. He promoted the slogan, "Have I got what it takes?" 1933: Encouraged women to invest in war bonds.

In 1944, he established the political action committee "Young People for Freedom". The group's goal was to encourage Americans aged 18-30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower won in 1952, thanks to Bernays’ efforts.

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 was the recipient of many other awards over his entire career.
