What can our failures teach us?
Do not worry too much about making mistakes. It will teach you something. However, it is possible to correct a mistake. You don't have to worry about the small things. There's nothing wrong in making mistakes. All of us make mistakes.
While it's possible to feel embarrassed when you make a mistake, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you should feel bad. It's how you deal with your mistakes that matters most. You'll be unable to deal with them if they become a problem. Instead, see them as an opportunity for growth and you'll be stronger.

Don't obsess over your mistakes. Instead, try to find ways to improve. Learn from your mistakes and become better tomorrow.
Successful Inventions made by accident
Inventors make mistakes. How we deal with those mistakes is what determines whether our inventions succeed or fail.
It is a fact that invention does not happen by accident. Every invention was designed. An accidental invention is not possible.
A deliberate act of invention is called an invention. It is an intentional decision to create something. Something that solves the problem. A solution that improves the quality of life.
However, the key to creating a successful invention is understanding how nothing happens by accident. Instead of trying to avoid mistakes, learn from them.
While we wish to claim that invention can be easy, it isn’t. Invention requires hard work and persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
You will need to spend a lot time thinking about ideas and problems. What are people concerned about? What do they need?
You need to ask these questions. These questions will help you decide what type of product or service to develop next.
This requires you to let go of any preconceived notions. Don't make assumptions about what people want or need. You must listen to your customers and potential clients.
You must find out what they want. You must learn what they really want.
Once you understand what they want, you must devise a method to deliver it. Here's where invention really begins.
Who was the first to say that those who don’t learn from history are ignorant?
Although we wish for a world where everyone learned from history, learning from our mistakes is more important than living in that ideal world.
Experience it wrong is the best way to learn.
The real error is not making sure you do it correctly the first attempt.
Changes are inevitable, and you will eventually realize why you made them.
You might find out that it was easier than you thought.
It doesn't mean that you shouldn't continue to try. It means you've learned a lot.
You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. This is the difference between success, and failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. 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. They're opportunities to grow.
And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Edison. He failed many other times before he inventing the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, each failure was 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 Can We Learn From Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln said, "I am slow to learn; very quick to forget."
He was conscious of how important it was for him to keep learning. He also understood that he would eventually have to learn new habits.
The same is true of our businesses. No matter how hard we plan for success there will be times where we run into roadblocks that cause us to get stuck in a rut.
It is crucial to continue to learn and grow. If nothing else is important, we must learn more, even after we have reached the pinnacle.
Lincoln had the right mindset. Lincoln understood that he could be more efficient in his business but that he couldn't quit learning.
There are two types: entrepreneurs. There are two types of entrepreneurs: those who keep busy and those who stay sharp.
Those who are busy concentrate on growing their businesses. They will be involved in product development, marketing strategies, customer service, or any other daily tasks.
While they might feel that they have made a significant contribution, often they are not. Unless these entrepreneurs are also focused on staying smarter, they won't achieve sustainable growth.
What separates successful entrepreneurs from average ones? The ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances.
Successful entrepreneurs are always looking for ways to improve the products and services they offer when faced with difficulties.
However, most entrepreneurs stick to old-fashioned methods that no longer work. They will not change their ways until they fail.
It is essential to learn both the art of adapting and self-reflection in order for success.

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
The Suez Canal was built in 1869 by Ferdinand de Lesseps, who wanted to connect Europe and Asia through his project. To accomplish this, he had to build a canal through the Isthmus of Suez (the narrowest point), to allow ships from Europe and Asia to reach India/China. The process involved building several locks and dams. He visited Egypt multiple times, and there he met with Khedive Ismail Pasha in order to finance the project. After he returned from Egypt, he discovered that Napoleon III had been defeated and had been replaced by The Second Empire. This was not a good idea as it would have cost too much. It took him three long years before the French government would fund the project. After the defeat of the British at the Battle for Omdurman in the Sudan War, 1859, the British signed a treaty that allowed them to access the Red Sea via Suez Canal. This was opened in 1869.
This project opened up trade routes, increased international commerce, and led to the development and integration of many countries around world, including Canada and Australia.
In addition, the Suez Canal allowed people to travel much faster than before. Before the construction of the Suez Canal, it took weeks to cross Isthmian Peninsula. It now takes days. People could visit places like Paris, London, Rome, and Constantinople without going through long sea voyages and dangerous storms. Additionally, the Suez Canal reduced the distance between North America & Europe by nearly 3,000 miles, making it more convenient for people to travel back and forward. These features made the Suez Canal a major transportation project.
The Suez Canal caused problems as it divided the Ottoman Empire in two, ultimately leading to the First World War. During the war the British used Suez Canal in an attack on Germany. But the Germans attacked Britain using their canal version. Although the Suez Canal passed under Egyptian control following the end the war, both the British and Egyptians still held the land.
After the Second World War, both sides continued to trade through the Suez Canal until the Arab-Israeli War in 1948. Both sides initially resisted the temptation to attack each other in fear of being forced to use force. Eventually, Israel captured the Sinai peninsula from Egypt in 1967, and the Suez Canal was closed to all shipping except for military vessels. The canal was closed for four years before President Sadat opened it to civilian traffic in 1973.
