Frequently Asked Questions
What are three lessons you can learn about history?
History is full of examples of how we can learn 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 is always someone who thinks out of the box and takes risks to make themselves stand out.
History shows that the underdogs are often the ones who win. You can look back at those times when the underdog won.
Learn from the past and use the lessons to improve your future. Learn from the successes and failures of others.
These lessons can help you improve the success rate.
Can learning about history stop us from repeating past mistakes?
History repeats itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes repeatedly. We fail to learn from the mistakes we make. We don't change. We get complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History also repeats itself because we keep believing the same old stories. Our culture has conditioned us to believe there is an immutable law and a fixed truth. That we cannot do anything to affect them.
This keeps us from being able to think critically. The ability to question authority. Questioning authority. We don't grow if we don’t question. We stagnate if we don’t move forward. We repeat the same mistakes when we stagnate.
Because we make the same mistakes, history doesn't have to repeat itself. History repeats because we refuse lessons from our mistakes and continue making them over and again.
It is possible to break the cycle of history repetition. You can change the way you see the world, and your perspective by realizing that nothing is fixed in stone. Nothing is unchangeable. All things are in constant flux.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accepting that things may go wrong. Accepting that failure may be possible. To accept that failure is a possibility.
Accept that you may not reach your goals. Acceptance of this fact is okay. But, don't let it stop you from striving to improve.
You will always remain stuck in the past if you hold on to certainty. If you insist on the existence of fixed truths, then you will never move forward.
Freedom is only possible if you are willing to let go. You must let go of control if you want to move forward.
What can Abraham Lincoln teach us?
Abraham Lincoln said, "I am slow to learn; very quick to forget."
He understood how important it is to keep learning. He also knew that there would come an occasion when he would need the ability to abandon old habits and learn new ones.
The same is true of our businesses. No matter how well we plan for success, there will be times when we hit roadblocks and find ourselves stuck in an unproductive rut.
This is why it is so important to constantly learn new ways to grow. If we do nothing else, we must continue to learn, even after we reach the pinnacle of success.
Lincoln had the right attitude. He recognized that while he could become more effective in his business, he couldn't stop learning.
There are two types: entrepreneurs. Those who stay busy and those who stay smart.
Those who are busy concentrate on growing their businesses. They focus on customer service and marketing strategies.
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 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 are unwilling to change their course of action until their business collapses.
You must be able to master both self-reflection and adaptation in order to succeed.
Who was the original person to have said that historical people don't learn.
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.
There's no better way to learn to do something right than to experience it wrong.
The biggest mistake you can make is not ensuring that it goes right the first and only time.
As long you keep making adjustments, you'll eventually see the reason you made them.
You may even find that you could do it better the second time.
However, that doesn't mean you should not try again. It means you've learned a lot.
Although you might not be able make every mistake, it is possible to minimize them. That is what will make the difference in success or failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. Then look at them objectively and ask yourself: "What did I learn?"
Your mistakes will only be lessons if your honesty is honest. They can be used as opportunities to 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 saw each failure as an opportunity for improvement in his design.
He invented the best form of lighting that is popular today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your errors. These are your opportunities to learn.
And then, you can try again.

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
Ferdinand de Lesseps created the Suez Canal in 1869. This was his dream to connect Europe and Asia. To do so, he had the Isthmus of Suez (the narrowest part) built to allow ships to cross from Europe to reach India. This involved the construction of several locks, dams and tunnels. He went to Egypt many times to negotiate with Khedive Ismail Pasha for financing 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 long years before the French government would fund the project. After the British were defeated at Battle of Omdurman, during the Sudan War in 1859 they signed a treaty to allow them access to Red Sea via Suez Canal.
This project opened up trade routes and increased international commerce. It led to the development in many countries, including South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
The Suez Canal enabled people to travel much more efficiently than before. It used to take weeks or months for people to cross the Isthmian Peninsula before it was constructed. Now it takes just days. People could travel to places such as Paris, London and Rome without having to go through dangerous storms or 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. These features made the Suez Canal a major transportation project.
The Suez Canal, however, caused problems. It divided the Ottoman Empire into 2 parts. This led to the First World War. During the war, Britain used the Suez Canal for its attack on Germany. The Germans attacked Britain using their version. The Suez Canal was re-established under Egyptian control. However, the British held the land on either end.
After the Second World War the Suez Canal remained a vital part of global commerce until the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict. Both sides didn't want to fight each other initially, as they were afraid the other might use force. Israel finally captured the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt in 1967. After that, the Suez Canal was shut to all shipping except military vessels. The closure lasted four years until President Sadat reopened the canal to civilian traffic in 1973.
