Frequently Asked Questions
Who was the first to say that those who don’t learn from history are ignorant?
We all wish to live in a world where everyone learns from the past, but there are more valuable things than learning from our mistakes.
You can't learn anything better than trying it wrong.
The only real mistake is not trying to ensure you do it right the first time.
Changes are inevitable, and you will eventually realize why you made them.
You may even find that you could do it better the second time.
You shouldn't give up on trying again. It means you've learned a lot.
You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
Recognizing your mistakes starts at the beginning. Next, look at your mistakes objectively and ask yourself "What have I learned?"
If you're honest with yourself, you'll realize that your mistakes are just lessons. These are opportunities to learn.
Thomas Edison went through exactly the same thing. He failed many other times before he inventing the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. He used every failure as an opportunity to improve the design.
Over time, he created the most popular type of lighting available today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your failures. Use them.
And then, you can try again.
What is the most valuable thing that you have learned in history?
There is no easy answer to this question. Learning can be viewed in three ways. The first is to realize that knowledge can be power. Second, knowledge can be cumulative. Third, it is important to recognize how rapidly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power because it empowers us to make better decisions and improve our lives. We would not have any trouble making decisions if our information was perfect. We would always do what we want without worrying about if it was right or wrong.
Knowledge, although it is power, is also cumulative. Once we have learned something, we can continue adding knowledge to our brains. We become more and more intelligent as time goes by. Knowledge accumulates.
Now, let's look at the third point. Knowledge isn't static. Knowledge is always changing. Scientists are constantly discovering new facts, theories, or ways to think. Each day new discoveries are made.
Technology is a key component of our culture. It allows us to instantly access information. Technology allows you to store massive amounts of data in digital format and share them with millions of people all over the world.
Globalization has changed how we think about technology. Globalization is the process of ideas and products spreading across borders. Globalization means that knowledge is accessible anywhere.
The internet allows anyone to access information any where in the world. Anybody can access the internet to read, watch movies, listen and play music, as well as surf the net. All of these activities require knowledge.
Information is becoming more accessible and more specialized. If you search online for advice on health, finance or business, you will find hundreds of thousands of sites offering information about topics such as cooking, travel, sport, or business. These websites provide information on just about every topic.
But if you go online to buy a car, you'll probably find only a few dozen sites offering automotive-related services and products. There are many sites that cover every topic, but you will only find a few websites that focus on cars.
Experts in specific fields are able to create and share valuable knowledge. Experts often have a deep understanding of a particular field. Experts are also capable of producing high-quality content targeted at their audience.
This is great news for consumers as they no longer have to search through a lot of useless information. Instead, consumers can narrow their search to a select few websites that contain lots of useful information.
Experts also gain from specialization, as they can create strong businesses around the expertise that they have. He expects the author of a book to have a thorough knowledge of his subject to provide a clear and concise explanation. He wants to be sure that the author understands what he is trying to communicate.
If an expert does not specialize, he risks losing out on potential customers who expect him to be knowledgeable.
Specialization isn't limited to just one area. Most people are experts in multiple areas today. One might be an accountant, lawyer, doctor, teacher, or other specialist. We are also likely to be parents, spouses and friends.
Experts say it is common to specialize.
So how can you become an expert across multiple fields? The answer is simple: practice. You've got to put in the hours necessary to learn something. When you start to make progress, it's important to keep going until your skills are recognized by others.
There are whole industries dedicated to helping others reach this goal. Many courses, workshops and seminars, as well as schools, teach how to quickly gain knowledge.
What do our mistakes show us?
When you make a mistake, don't worry about it too much because it's a learning experience. You'll learn something. But more importantly, when you make a mistake, you can change it. Don't worry about the little things, there is nothing wrong with making errors. We all make mistakes.
While it's possible to feel embarrassed when you make a mistake, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you should feel bad. What matters is how you deal with those mistakes. You will let your mistakes bother you. Instead, see them as an opportunity for growth and you'll be stronger.
It is important to recognize and learn from your mistakes. Do not dwell on it. Instead, look ahead to the next step. Keep moving.
Don't dwell on your mistakes. Instead, look for ways to improve yourself. Learn from your mistakes and become better tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Made by Accident
Inventors make mistakes. However, how we react to these mistakes will determine whether or not our inventions are great successes.
When it comes to invention, there are no accidents. Every invention was done intentionally. There is no such thing a accidental invention.
Invention is an intentional act. It is an intentional decision to create something. Something that solves a problem. Something that makes life better for someone.
The key to success is not assuming that everything happens by accident. So, instead of avoiding mistakes, focus on learning from them.
While we wish to claim that invention can be easy, it isn’t. Invention is hard work that requires persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
This means that you need to spend lots of time thinking about solutions and ideas. What are people interested in? What do they really need?
Ask yourself these questions. Questions that will help you figure out what kind of product or service you should develop next.
You must let go of all preconceived notions. Any assumptions about what the world wants or needs. You must listen to your customers and potential clients.
It is important to find out what your clients want. Not what they tell you they want.
Once you've figured out what they want, you have to devise a way to give it to them. Here's where invention really begins.
Can learning about history stop us from repeating past mistakes?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We fail to learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle in mediocrity.
History repeats itself when we believe the same old stories. Our world is conditioned to believe there are immutable laws and fixed truths. That we cannot do anything to affect them.
This is a way to stop us from thinking critically. From questioning authority. To challenge assumptions. If we don’t ask questions, we don’t grow. And when 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. History repeats itself because we refuse to learn from our mistakes and instead continue to make the same ones over and over.
By changing your outlook on the world and understanding that there is no set way, you can break the cycle. Nothing is fixed. Everything is constantly changing.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accept that things might go wrong. To accept that we may not succeed. Accepting that failure is possible.
Accept that you may not reach your goals. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.
If you hold fast to certainty, you'll always be stuck in the past. You'll never move forward if you cling to the idea that there are fixed truths.
To achieve freedom, you must be open to change. You can't control progress unless you let go.

How To
Discovery of Penicillin: Successful Inventions Made by Accident
How did penicillin get created?
Penicillin was discovered accidentally when Alexander Fleming noticed mold growing on some bacteria cultures he had left out. He believed that mold might kill the bacteria and therefore he attempted to find a solution.
He discovered penicillin could kill mold. Later, he realized that this new compound could also fight bacteria-related infection. Penicillin was one the greatest medical breakthroughs. It saved millions and changed medicine forever.
Alexander Fleming had no idea at first what his discovery would mean. The other person didn't know the same. No one knew that penicillin would become such a powerful antibiotic.
Penicillin was discovered to be effective in fighting bacterial infections by scientists only after World War II. The U.S. Army asked Dr. Fleming in 1945 if penicillin could be used to treat soldiers with wounds infected by deadly germs. Dr. Fleming was willing to give it a try.
It turned out that penicillin was effective against many different kinds of infection. Penicillin was an invaluable lifesaver for wounded soldiers in World War II. It saved many lives and helped doctors continue their work after the war.
Dr. Fleming didn't expect his discovery would have such profound consequences. He just wanted to ensure mold didn't grow on the bacteria cultures he used to study. He couldn't believe that this simple experiment would result in such a medical breakthrough.
It's not surprising that many of the discoveries we make every day don’t amount to anything extraordinary. These discoveries are nothing more than experiments, done for no particular purpose.
When you look back over history, you see that sometimes those seemingly unimportant experiments can change everything.
Even though they seem to have very little in common, discoveries end up being extremely significant. Like the discovery of penicillin. Photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
It is not because someone has a brilliant idea. It happens when someone solves a problem. Then they experiment to solve their problem.
