On August 6th 2004, the music world was stunned when outrageous entertainer and colourful funk star Rick James was found dead by his housekeeper in his LA home. He was 56 years old. Adored by women, Rick James was an 80's Motown sensation and lived the classic drug-fuelled rock-n-roll lifestyle. However, his excesses took a dark turn when in 1991, he was accused of kidnap and torture, resulting in a prison sentence. Upon release, he turned his life around but something went terribly wrong and things took a turn for the worse.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can you easily learn from the mistakes and victories of human history?
History doesn't repeat itself. Learning from the mistakes of human past history doesn't require much time. Be sure to not repeat the mistakes!
The key is to recognize what worked well in the past and apply those lessons to your business.
This can be achieved by reading books on leadership, management strategies, and case studies of successful companies who have been around for decades.
By doing this, you can draw inspiration and avoid the same pitfalls they did.
You can also look at examples of businesses which have been bankrupt. What made them fail? Is there a common theme among these failures. These insights will allow you to avoid costly errors.
You can also read about historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, John D. Rockefeller and Steve Jobs. While they may have had the best resumes in the history of the world, few knew how to manage people and run a business. You can learn from their mistakes if you want.
Learning from human history's mistakes and victories is simple. All you need to do is spend a few minutes every day thinking about what has worked well in the past and finding ways to implement them today.
Are we able to learn from past mistakes and avoid making the same mistakes again?
History repeats itself because we keep making the same mistakes again and again. 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. We live in a world where we've been conditioned to believe that there are fixed truths and immutable laws. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.
This makes it difficult to think critically. To question authority. To challenge assumptions. We can't learn if we don’t challenge our assumptions. When we don't learn, we stagnate. And when we stagnate, we repeat the same mistakes.
But history isn't the same because we continue making the same mistakes. History repeats because we refuse lessons from our mistakes and continue making them over and again.
You can end the cycle of history repetition by changing the way that you view the world. By understanding that nothing is permanent, you can see the possibilities. Nothing is fixed. Everything is in constant flux.
The key to breaking the cycle of uncertainty is acceptance. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. To accept that we may not succeed. Accepting that failure is possible.
Accept that you may not reach your goals. But to accept that, you should strive to improve anyway.
To hold on to the past is to be certain. If you believe there are only certain truths, it will be impossible to move forward.
If you want freedom, you have to let go. You must let go of control if you want to move forward.
What can we learn from the past?
We have three lessons from history. The first is that you have to do it yourself if you want to change the world. You must make sure people are ready to change the way they live. The third thing you must do to improve the future is to first change how people live.
First, there are two ways to make the world better. One is fight for it. When you fight for it, you focus on winning and lose sight of why you started fighting in the first place.
While you cannot control their reactions to your ideas or how they present them, you can influence how they are presented. You'll inevitably fail if you set out to convince someone of something. But, if your goal is to inspire someone to act, you'll be successful.
People had an idea, and they decided to take action. This is how most great movements started. It doesn't matter if you're trying to create change or react to it. These are the rules that will help you make an impact.
The second lesson is the fact that we all have the power to make our lives better. We can either allow our lives to unfold, or choose to create them. We must choose the kind of life that we want. Do we expect someone else to let us live? Do we want to control our destiny?
We are living in a golden age, I would argue. There is more opportunity than ever, which makes it exciting. People feel empowered to create their futures, and that's exciting.
However, it can also be a problem. It's not easy to know what you want or how to get it. Therefore, it is important to identify what you want and then find a way.
Let's take, for example, the desire to purchase a house. You could either sit back and expect someone to gift you a Home Depot gift certificate. You could also ask yourself "What would you love to do?" Look for a job which allows you to do that. Then, you can apply for financing.
Now, let's say you wanted to travel the world. Now, you might wonder "Where would I like to go?" You'd then begin saving money, researching different countries online and speaking with friends. And finally, you'd book a flight.
Now, let's say you didn't know what you wanted. In that case, you'd probably end up doing one of those things anyway. You can increase your chances to get what you want by asking these questions. It may seem odd, but it works.
The third lesson is that you can always improve your future no matter what happens. It's easy. Our choices affect who and what we become.
It is important to take inspiration from past experiences, learn from mistakes and succeed until you are successful.
You're already behind if you don't think you have anything to offer the world. You must believe in yourself and that you are more than you believed.
Start with what you already know. Start small, and work your way up. Look back at the things you've done throughout your lifetime. What have you failed to do? What are you proud of? 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 how much anyone tells, you can achieve anything you set your mind.
Benjamin Franklin said, "Nothing will be successful unless you do."
What can our mistakes teach?
Don't be too concerned about making a mistake. It's an opportunity to learn. This means that you will learn something. You can also learn from your mistakes. You shouldn't stress about the small details. We all make them.
You might feel embarrassed if you've made a mistake, but it doesn't matter whether you feel bad. What matters is how you deal with those mistakes. 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.
Recognize and move on from a mistake. This is the best way to learn from it. Don't dwell on it; instead, focus on the next step. 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 by accident
Inventors make mistakes. But how we respond to those mistakes determines whether our inventions become great successes or failures.
The fact is there are no accidents when it comes to invention. Every single invention was made intentionally. There are no accidental inventions.
An invention is a deliberate act. It is an intentional decision to create something. It solves a problem. Something that makes life better for someone.
But the key to a successful invention is understanding that nothing happens accidentally. Instead of trying to avoid making mistakes, learn from them.
As much as we would love to say that invention is easy, it isn't. Invention is hard work. It's not a quick fix. It takes patience.
That means that you will have to spend much time thinking about issues and new ideas. What are people interested in? What do they need?
These are the questions you need to ask. These questions will help guide you in deciding what kind of product/service you should develop next.
This is possible only if you let go any preconceived notions. Don't make assumptions about what people want or need. You must listen to your customers and potential clients.
They must learn what they are looking for. 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. This is where invention starts.
