Frequently Asked Questions
What can we learn from the past?
History has taught us three important lessons. First, it is up to you to make a difference in the world. Second, it is essential to prepare people for change if you want to transform their lives. You can only change the future if it is better.
The first lesson is that there are two ways to change the world. The first is to fight for it. The second is to make it happen. When you fight for it, you focus on winning and lose sight of why you started fighting in the first place.
You cannot control what people think, but you can make sure they like the way you present them. If you attempt to convince someone of something, you'll fail. But, if your goal is to inspire someone to act, you'll be successful.
Most great movements began because somebody had an idea and decided to act upon it. So whether you're creating change or reacting to it, the best way to make your mark is to follow these three rules: Be clear about what you want, be honest about where you come from, and be brave enough to go where nobody else has gone before.
The second lesson is that we all have a choice. Either we wait for the right circumstances to unfold or we can make them happen. We must choose the kind of life that we want. Do we expect someone else to let us live? Or do we want to take charge of our destiny?
We are living in a golden age, I would argue. There's more opportunity than ever before, creating a lot of excitement. People feel empowered to make their own futures and that's very exciting.
However, it can also be a problem. Because not everyone knows exactly what they want or even how to get it, it's important to figure out what you want and find a way to get it.
Let's say, for instance, that you are looking to buy a home. You could either sit back and expect someone to gift you a Home Depot gift certificate. You can also ask yourself: "What would my dream job be?" Look for a job which allows you to do that. Finally, apply for financing.
Let's suppose you want to travel the globe. The question you might be asking yourself is "Where do I want go?" You'd then begin saving money, researching different countries online and speaking with friends. The final step is to book a flight.
Let's pretend you didn’t know what your goal was. You would most likely do one of these things. But by asking yourself questions like this, you increase your chances of getting what you want. It might seem ridiculous, but it's true.
The third lesson is to never lose sight of the possibility of improving the future. This is because it's simple. Your choices influence who you are and what you become.
So the trick is to use history as a guide, to learn from others' mistakes and successes, and keep improving until you succeed.
If you don’t feel you have any value to the world, you are already behind. You must believe that you are capable of doing more than you thought possible.
Don't worry if you don't know where you should start. Start small and build from there. Look back at the things you've done throughout your lifetime. What are you most proud of? What have you succeeded at? What have you done to overcome obstacles?
Last but not least, remember that no one can stop you from reaching your full potential. No matter what anyone says, you can do anything you put your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin wrote, "Nothing works unless you do."
What can our mistakes teach?
When you make a mistake, don't worry about it too much because it's a learning experience. It's a learning experience that will help you to improve your skills. But more importantly, when you make a mistake, you can change it. You shouldn't stress about the small details. All of us make mistakes.
You might feel embarrassed if you've made a mistake, but it doesn't matter whether you feel bad. It's the way you deal with your mistakes which matters most. They will eat at your soul if you allow them to bother you. If you look at them as opportunities for growth, they'll make you stronger.
Recognize and move on from a mistake. This is the best way to learn from it. You don't need to dwell on it. Instead, you should focus on the next step. Keep moving.
Don't dwell on your mistakes. Instead, learn from your mistakes and look for ways you can improve. Learn from your mistakes to improve your future.
Successful Inventions Made By Accident
Inventors are human. 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 single invention was made intentionally. There are no accidental inventions.
An invention is a deliberate act. A deliberate decision to create something new. It solves a problem. Something that makes life better for someone.
To be successful inventing is to understand that nothing happens by chance. Instead of trying not to make mistakes, try learning from them.
Although it would be nice to think that invention is easy, it's not. It takes hard work and perseverance to invent something. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
You will need to spend a lot time thinking about ideas and problems. What do people care about? What do they want?
You have to ask yourself questions like these. These questions will help determine what product or service you should create next.
To do this, you have to put aside any preconceived notions. All assumptions about the world's wants and needs. Listen to your potential and current customers.
Learn what they really want. They are not what they say they want.
Once you have identified what they want, the next step is to design a way that you can give it to them. This is where invention starts.
Who said that history doesn't teach the ignorant?
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.
There's no better way to learn to do something right than to experience it wrong.
The most serious mistake is to try to make it right the first go.
As long as you keep making improvements, you'll eventually understand why you made those changes.
You may even find that you could do it better the second time.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try again. 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. And that's the difference between success and failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. Look at your mistakes objectively, and then ask yourself: "What lessons have I learned?"
If you're honest with yourself, you'll realize that your mistakes are just lessons. They're learning experiences that can help you grow.
Thomas Edison was the victim of this fate. He failed many more times before he invented the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, each failure was an opportunity to improve his design.
Over time, he created the most popular type of lighting available today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Take advantage of them.
Then try again.
What can we learn about Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln said, “I am slow to understand; very fast 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 vital to continually learn and develop new skills. If we do nothing else, we must continue to learn, even after we reach the pinnacle of success.
Lincoln had the right mindset. He understood that his business could be more successful, but he couldn’t afford to stop learning.
There are two types entrepreneurs. They are those who are busy and those that stay smart.
Those who keep busy are focused on their business' growth. They are involved in marketing strategies, product development, customer support, and other tasks every day.
While they might feel that they have made a significant contribution, often they are not. Entrepreneurs who aren't focused on learning more won't see sustainable growth.
What makes successful entrepreneurs different from average entrepreneurs? The ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
Successful entrepreneurs are always looking for ways to improve the products and services they offer when faced with difficulties.
On the other hand, average entrepreneurs cling to outdated methods that no longer work. They won't change until their business is destroyed.
It is essential to learn both the art of adapting and self-reflection in order for success.

How To
How did marketing history turn into propaganda?
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 "propere", meaning "nearby" and "at hand", and the noun “agogos,” meaning "speech, discourse," are the origins of the term. It is a systematic attempt at shaping attitudes and behaviors.
George Orwell, British journalist, wrote: "To understand and comprehend the true nature propaganda, we must realize it isn't the intention to make anyone believe anything. It only the intention change their beliefs...Its purpose is to make them accept something rather than one thing."
Edward Bernays (1891 – 95), who was Sigmund's nephew, and psychoanalyst. He became famous when he created the term "public relations" (1922). He stated that the conscious and intelligent manipulations of the organized opinions and habits of the masses was an essential element of a democratic society. In 1927, he founded the public relations firm "Bernays & Company," where he worked until 1955.
Bernays invented an "engineering permission" technique, which allowed him to influence public opinion through publicity and advertising campaigns. His methods were adopted later by mass media companies like Newsweek, CBS News, NBC News and Time Magazine. After World War II, Bernays began working closely with corporations and government agencies to influence public opinion. His clients included Johnson & Johnson and General Electric as well as Procter & Gamble and Coca-Cola.
The tobacco industry was his greatest client. Philip Morris, who he assisted in developing a campaign against smoking was the most prominent client. The campaign resulted from the SurgeonGeneral recommending that smoking be banned indoors. The Cigarette Advertising Act, which banned any advertisement for cigarettes in print media (magazines, newspapers, television) was passed by the Senate in 1965.
He also gave advice on how to deal during the Great Depression with the growing labor movement. Bernays advised that the president declare "war on Hunger" and use federal government's power in order to ensure adequate food. 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. 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. in 1933, encouraging women to buy war bonds.
He established a political action group called "Young People for Freedom" back in 1944. This group had the goal of encouraging Americans aged 18 to 30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower won 1952 the presidency thanks to Bernays efforts.
Bernays convinced CIA in 1953 to stage a coup d'etat in Iran. Shah Reza Pahlevi would replace Mohammad Mosaddegh. He justified this move as necessary to prevent Mosaddegh from nationalizing Iranian oil fields. Bernays wrote articles extolling the new regime in praise after the coup.
Bernays has received numerous other awards throughout his professional career.
