We all wish we had a guardian angel. Some of us are even nice enough to wish everyone else had one, too. But maybe we should be careful what we wish for, because if guardian angels were real, it would mean that awful people would end up with heavenly protection. People like Adolf Hitler, for example.
One of the most evil people in history, Hitler himself believed he enjoyed supernatural protection from God; or sometimes, from "the gods," if he was in a particularly neo-pagan mood. And as you will see from the list below, it seems the Fuhrer of Nazi Germany had good reason to think there were occult forces working to keep him alive.

Successful Inventions Made By Accident
Inventors make mistakes. How we deal with those mistakes is what determines whether our inventions succeed or fail.
When it comes to invention, there are no accidents. Each invention was created intentionally. There are no accidental inventions.
An invention is a deliberate act. A deliberate decision to create something new. Something that solves an issue. Someone's quality of life will be improved.
However, the key to creating a successful invention is understanding how nothing happens by accident. Instead of trying to avoid making mistakes, learn from them.
We would love to tell you that invention is simple, but it's not. Invention takes persistence and hard work. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
You will need to spend a lot time thinking about ideas and problems. What is the most important thing for people? What do they really need?
These are questions that you should ask yourself. These questions will help you decide what type of product or service to develop next.
To do this, you have to put aside any preconceived notions. Any assumptions about what the world wants or needs. Listen carefully to potential and actual customers.
It is important to find out what your clients want. You must learn what they really want.
Once you've figured out what they want, you have to devise a way to give it to them. This is where invention starts.
What is the most valuable thing that you have learned in history?
There isn't an easy answer to this question. When thinking about learning, there are three key points you should consider. First, we must realize that knowledge is power. Second, knowledge can be cumulative. The third is to be aware of how quickly knowledge can change.
Knowledge is power. Because it empowers people to make better decisions. If we had complete information, we wouldn't have any difficulty making decisions. We'd do what we want, without worrying about whether it was correct or not.
Knowledge, although it is power, is also cumulative. This means that knowledge is not only powerful, but also cumulative. As time goes on, we become smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now turn our attention to the third. Knowledge isn't static. In fact, knowledge is constantly changing. Every day scientists discover new facts, theories, ways of thinking. Discoveries are made all the time.
Technology allows us to quickly access knowledge, and is crucial for our culture. Technology allows us to save vast amounts data and share it between millions of people across the globe.
Globalization has changed how we think about technology. Globalization is the process by which ideas and products spread across borders. Because of globalization, knowledge is now accessible everywhere.
Access to information from anywhere on the planet is possible thanks to the internet. Everybody can read books and watch movies. They can also listen to music, play games, or surf the internet. All these activities require knowledge.
Information is becoming more accessible and more specialized. Today, there are thousands of websites providing advice on topics such a health, finance, business and cooking. These websites provide information on just about every topic.
You'll find only a few sites that offer automotive-related services or products if your goal is to purchase a car online. There are many sites that cover every topic, but you will only find a few websites that focus on cars.
This specialization is because experts in particular fields can create and distribute valuable knowledge. Experts often have a deep understanding of a particular field. They're also able to produce high-quality content that's targeted toward their specific audience.
This is great news for consumers as they no longer have to search through a lot of useless information. Instead, they can concentrate on a few sites that have lots of useful content.
Experts also benefit from specialization because they can build strong businesses around their expertise. When someone buys a book, he expects the author to know his subject well enough to write a clear and concise explanation of the material. He wants to be sure that the author understands what he is trying to communicate.
Experts who do not specialize risk losing potential customers.
The scope of specialization doesn't stop at one area. Many of us today are specialists in many areas. It could be that we are an accountant, a lawyer or a doctor. Or a teacher. Not only are we likely to be a parent or spouse, but also friends, family, and fans.
Experts say it is common to specialize.
So, how do you become a specialist in multiple areas? The answer is easy: practice. You've got to put in the hours necessary to learn something. You can make great progress if you continue to work until people recognize you.
Nowadays, there are entire industries devoted to helping others achieve this goal. Many courses, workshops and seminars, as well as schools, teach how to quickly gain knowledge.

How To
How did propaganda become marketing history.
In 1879, Max Weber, a German sociologist and German sociologist, first coined the term "propaganda". The Greek word "praopagos", which means "to talk well," was the source of the phrase. The word came from the Latin verb "propere," meaning "nearby" or "at hand," and the noun "agogos," meaning "speech or discourse." It refers to "a systematic effort to shape attitudes or behavior."
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 – 1995), who was Sigmund Freud’s nephew and psychoanalyst became well-known after he inventing the term "public relation" in 1922. He believed that "the conscious manipulation of the organised habits and opinions by the masses is an integral part of a democratic nation." He founded "Bernays & Company" in 1927. This was where he worked until 1955.
Bernays devised a technique called "engineering consent" to influence public opinion using advertising and publicity campaigns. This was from the 1920s to 1950s. His methods were later adopted by mass media outlets such as Time Magazine and CBS News. Bernays began to work closely with corporations, government agencies, and individuals after World War II. 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 greatest client. He assisted Philip Morris in launching a campaign to stop smoking. In 1939, the Surgeon General recommended that smoking should be banned inside. In 1965, the Cigarette Advertising Act was adopted. This bans any cigarette advertisement in print media such as newspapers and television.
He also provided advice to President Franklin D Roosevelt regarding how to handle the growing labor force during the Great Depression. Bernays suggested to the president that he declare a "war against hunger" and use the federal government's ability to ensure adequate food supplies. 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. In the 1930s, he introduced "branding" as well as "advertising". 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 buy war bonds in 1933.
He founded a political committee, "Young People for Freedom," in 1944. This group had the goal of encouraging Americans aged 18 to 30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower won, in 1952, the presidency after Bernays' efforts.
Bernays convinced CIA to organize a coup in Iran in 1953. Shah Reza Pahlevi was replaced by 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.
