The Final Weeks Of TLC's Left-Eye: Lisa Lopes | Our History

Frequently Asked Questions

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 fail to learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.

The same old stories are what repeat history. Our world is conditioned to believe there are immutable laws and fixed truths. We cannot change them.

This makes it difficult to think critically. From challenging authority. To challenge assumptions. We can't learn if we don’t challenge our assumptions. If we don't grow we stagnate. We repeat the same mistakes when we stagnate.

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.

Change your perception of the world and yourself to stop the cycle. There is no set in stone. Everything is constantly changing.

Accepting uncertainty is the key to breaking this cycle. Accept that things might go wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. Accept that failure is possible.

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

If you hold fast to certainty, you'll always be stuck in the past. You can't move forward if your beliefs are fixed.

To achieve freedom, you must be open to change. You must let go of control if you want to move forward.

What are some lessons from history?

These are the three most important lessons that history has taught us. To change the world, you have to do it all yourself. 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.

First, there are two ways to make the world better. One is fighting for it, the other is creating it. When you fight for it, you focus on winning and lose sight of why you started fighting in the first place.

You can't control how people react to your ideas, but you can control how you present them. If you want to persuade someone, you'll eventually fail. If you try to convince someone to do something, you will fail.

Most great movements began because somebody had an idea and decided to act upon it. It doesn't matter if you're trying to create change or react to it. These are the rules that will help you make an impact.

Second, we have the ability to choose. 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? Do we want to control our destiny?

We are living in a golden age, I would argue. There are more possibilities than ever before, which has created a lot of excitement. People feel empowered to make their own futures and that's very exciting.

This creates a problem. It's hard to know what you want.

Let's suppose you want to buy your first house. You could wait and see if someone gives you Home Depot gift certificates. You could also think about what you would love to do. You can then search for a job where you can 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?" Next, you might start saving money, looking up countries online, and talking to your friends. Then, you book a trip.

Let's pretend you didn’t know what your goal was. In that case, you'd probably end up doing one of those things anyway. 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 you can always improve your future no matter what happens. This is because it's simple. Our choices shape who we are and who we become.

So the trick is to use history as a guide, to learn from others' mistakes and successes, and keep improving until you succeed.

You're already behind if you don't think you have anything to offer the world. You must believe that you are capable of doing more than you thought possible.

You don't need to know everything in order to start. Start small and then build on it. Think about what you've learned throughout your life. What are you most proud of? What have you succeeded at? How did you overcome obstacles?

Remember that you are the only one who can limit your potential. No matter how much anyone tells, you can achieve anything you set your mind.

Benjamin Franklin wrote, "Nothing works unless you do."

Who was the original person to have said that historical people don't learn.

While we all would love to live in an ideal world that everyone learns from past mistakes, it is not possible to learn from our own mistakes.

You can't learn anything better than trying it wrong.

The most serious mistake is to try to make it right the first go.

You'll eventually discover why you made the changes if you continue to make 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. That's a sign 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.

Acknowledging your mistakes begins the process. Then look at them objectively and ask yourself: "What did I learn?"

When you're open with yourself, you will see that your failures are not failures. These are opportunities to learn.

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. Instead, he took each failure as an opportunity and improved his design.

He developed the most well-known form of lighting we have today.

So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Please take advantage of them.

And then try again.

How To

How did propaganda become marketing success?

The term "propaganda" was first used in 1879 when German sociologist Max Weber coined the word from the Greek word "praopagos" which means "to speak 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 is a systematic attempt at shaping attitudes and behaviors.

In his book "Propaganda," published in 1928, British journalist George Orwell wrote: "To understand the true nature of propaganda, we must realize that it is not the intention to make people believe anything; it is only the intention to change their beliefs...It is intended to make them accept one thing rather than another."

Edward Bernays (1891 – 95), who was Sigmund's nephew, and psychoanalyst. He became famous when he created the term "public relations" (1922). 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 established the public relations company "Bernays & Company" where he worked up to 1955.

From the 1920s to the 1950s, Bernays developed an "engineering consent" technique - influencing public opinion through advertising and publicity campaigns. 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. 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 were just a few of his clients.

The tobacco industry was his greatest client. He helped Philip Morris to develop a campaign against smoking in 1939. The Surgeon General recommended that indoor smoking be prohibited. In 1965, the Cigarette Advertising Act was adopted. This bans any cigarette advertisement in print media such as newspapers and television.

He also gave advice to President Franklin D Roosevelt about how to manage the growing labor movement during Great Depression. Bernays recommended that the president declare a war on hunger and use federal government power to ensure adequate food supply. This strategy made it look like the government was a father figure and helped the president to win re-election in 36.

Bernays began to promote the idea that radio listening could increase radio sales as radio popularity grew. He introduced the concept "branding", "advertising" and other concepts in the early 1930s. He believed that customers could be motivated by appealing to their emotional side, and making them feel unique. His slogan "Have You Got What It Takes?" was one example. He encouraged women to buy war bonds in 1933.

He established a political action group called "Young People for Freedom" back in 1944. 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 done to stop Mosaddegh's nationalization of Iranian oil fields. Bernays published articles after the coup praising the new regime for being "moderate", "progressive,"and "modernized".

Bernays received many other awards throughout his career.
