Frequently Asked Questions
Who first said that people who don't learn history from the past are stupid?
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.
You can't learn anything better than trying it wrong.
It is a mistake to not do it correctly the first time.
As long you keep making adjustments, you'll eventually see the reason you made them.
You might even discover that you could have done it better the first time.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try again. That's a sign that you have learned a lot.
It may not always be possible to avoid making errors, but it is possible minimize them. That is what will make the difference in success or failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. Look at your mistakes objectively, and then ask yourself: "What lessons have I learned?"
When you're open with yourself, you will see that your failures are not failures. They're learning experiences that can help you grow.
Thomas Edison had to go through the exact same thing. He failed many times before inventing the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he took each failure as an opportunity and improved his design.
He also invented the most widely used form of lighting, which is still in use today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your errors. These are your opportunities to learn.
And then try again.
What can our failures teach us?
When you make a mistake, don't worry about it too much because it's a learning experience. This means that you will learn something. You can also learn from your mistakes. So don't sweat the small stuff because there's nothing wrong with making mistakes. We all make mistakes.
Even though you may feel embarrassed after making a mistake it doesn't mean you have to feel guilty. What matters is how you deal with those mistakes. You'll be unable to deal with them if they become a problem. However, if they are seen as opportunities for growth you will come out the other side stronger.
Acknowledge and move past a mistake is the best way for you to overcome it. Focus on the next step and don't dwell on the past. Keep moving forward.
Don't obsess over your mistakes. Instead, find ways to improve. Learn from your mistakes to improve your future.
Successful Inventions Made from Accident
Inventors make mistakes. How we deal with those mistakes is what determines whether our inventions succeed or fail.
The fact is there are no accidents when it comes to invention. Every invention was planned. There are no accidental inventions.
Invention is an intentional act. An intention to create something. Something that solves the problem. It makes someone's life easier.
But the key to a successful invention is understanding that nothing happens accidentally. Instead of trying to avoid mistakes, learn from them.
We would love to tell you that invention is simple, but it's not. Invention is hard work that requires persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
That means that you will have to spend much time thinking about issues and new ideas. What is the most important thing for people? What do they want?
Ask yourself these questions. These questions will help guide you in deciding what kind of product/service you should 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.
Learn what they really want. They are not what they say they want.
Once you've figured out what they want, you have to devise a way to give it to them. That's where invention begins.
What Can We Learn From Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln said, “I am slow to understand; very fast to forget.”
He understood the importance of learning and knew that he would eventually need to let go of old habits in order to embrace new ones.
The same is true of our businesses. We will hit roadblocks sometimes, and get stuck in unproductive ruts no matter how many times we plan for our success.
That's why it's crucial to seek new ways to grow and evolve constantly. If we are to achieve the pinnacle, we must keep learning.
Lincoln was a good example of the right attitude. He knew that he could improve his business' effectiveness, but he couldn’t stop learning.
There are two types of entrepreneurs. They are those who are busy and those that stay smart.
Those who keep busy are focused on their business' growth. They will be involved in product development, marketing strategies, customer service, or any other daily tasks.
They may feel accomplished, but they are often missing the mark. They won't be able to sustain their growth if they don't also work smarter.
What is the difference between successful entrepreneurs and average entrepreneurs? The ability to adapt quickly and to change circumstances.
Successionable entrepreneurs look for ways that they can improve their products or services when faced with difficult situations.
Average entrepreneurs, on the other hand, stick to old methods that don't work anymore. They refuse to change course until their business fails.
It is essential to learn both the art of adapting and self-reflection in order for success.
What are three lessons you can learn about history?
There are plenty of examples from history that show how we can learn lessons from our mistakes. These lessons can be applied to the challenges of business today and turned into opportunities for growth.
The past has taught us that there is always a better way. There's always someone out there that thinks outside the box, and takes risks that make him or her stand out.
History also shows us that it's often the underdogs who succeed. So when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or even lost, look back to those times when the underdog won.
Take a look back at the past to learn from it and make improvements for the future. Learn from others' successes and failures.
These lessons will help you increase your success rate.

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
Ferdinand de Lesseps was the man who built the Suez Canal. His goal was to connect Europe with Asia. To do this, he built a canal across Isthmus of Suez. It allowed ships from Europe to travel to India and 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. But, upon his return to France, it was discovered that Napoleon III has been overthrown and the Second Empire has taken over, with no interest in such a large-scale project. It took him three more years before the French government approved funding the project. After the British lost the Battle of Omdurman in Sudan War 1859, they signed a Treaty allowing them to access the Red Sea via Suez Canal. The canal opened in 1869.
The project opened up trade routes to increase international commerce and helped many countries develop around the world, including Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Japan and South Africa.
In addition, the Suez Canal made it possible to travel much quicker than before. It used to take weeks and months to cross Isthmian Peninsula. But now it takes only days. People could visit Paris, London or Rome without the need to cross dangerous storms or endure long sea voyages. Furthermore, the Suez Canal made it possible to travel between North America (Europe) by reducing the distance by almost 3,000 mi. Because of these advantages, the Suez Canal became one of the most important transportation projects ever undertaken.
Unfortunately, the Suez Canal created problems for the Ottoman Empire by dividing it into two parts. This eventually led 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, the Suez Canal remained an important part of global trade until the Arab-Israeli conflict began in 1948. Both sides were initially reluctant to oppose each other because they feared the other would use force. In 1967, Israel took the Sinai peninsula from Egypt and closed the Suez Canal to all shipping, except military vessels. The four-year-old closure ended when President Sadat reopened Suez Canal to civilian traffic in 1972.
