Successful Inventions Made from Accident
Inventors make mistakes. But how we respond to those mistakes determines whether our inventions become great successes or failures.
It is a fact that invention does not happen by accident. Every invention was designed. There are no accidental inventions.
A deliberate act of invention is called an invention. It is an intentional decision to create something. Something that solves the problem. It makes someone's life easier.
To be successful inventing is to understand that nothing happens by chance. Instead of trying avoidable mistakes, learn from them.
Invention is not easy. It takes hard work and perseverance to invent something. It's not a quick fix. It takes patience.
That means you must spend a lot of time thinking about problems and ideas. What are people interested in? What do they require?
These are questions that you should ask yourself. Questions that will help you figure out what kind of product or service you should develop next.
To do this, you have to put aside any preconceived notions. You should not make assumptions about the world's needs or wants. Listen to your potential and current customers.
It is important to find out what your clients want. Not what they tell themselves 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 comes in.
What lessons can history teach us?
There are three lessons we've learned from history. To change the world, you have to do it all yourself. Second, when you change how people live, you must ensure they're ready for it. You can only change the future if it is better.
First, there are two ways to make the world better. One is fighting for it, the other is creating it. Fighting for it is about winning, not remembering why you started fighting.
While you cannot control their reactions to your ideas or how they present them, you can influence how they are presented. 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.
The idea of a great movement was born when someone had it and took action. You can create change or respond to it. The best way to do this is to be clear and honest about your goals, where you are coming from, and to be bold enough to take the initiative to go places no one has before.
Second, we have the ability to choose. You can either let your life happen or you can choose to make it happen. This means that it is up to us to decide how we want our lives to be. Are we content to wait for someone else's approval to let us live? Or do you want to be in control of your destiny?
I think we're living a golden time right now. There is more opportunity than ever, which makes it exciting. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.
It can also cause problems. It is essential to determine what you want, and how you can get it.
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. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" Find a job that will allow you to do it. Apply for financing.
Now, let's say you wanted to travel the world. You might ask yourself, "Where do I want to go?" Next, you might start saving money, looking up countries online, and talking to your friends. Then, you book a trip.
Let's say that you don't have a clear idea of what you want. In this case, you'd probably end-up doing one of the things. You can increase your chances to get what you want by asking these questions. It might seem ridiculous, but it's true.
The third lesson is to never lose sight of the possibility of improving the future. It is easy to see why. Your choices determine who you are and who you become.
You can learn from the mistakes and successes of others and continue to improve until you achieve your goals.
You're already behind if you don't think you have anything to offer the world. You have to believe that you're better than you thought you were.
Don't worry if you don't know where you should start. Start small and then build on it. Take stock of the lessons you've learned in your entire life. What have you failed to do? What have you succeeded at? What were your greatest achievements?
You are the only person who can limit what you can do. No matter what others say, you are capable of doing anything you set your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin said, "Nothing will be successful unless you do."
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 do not learn from our failures. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for 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. We cannot change them.
This keeps us from being able to think critically. From challenging authority. By challenging assumptions. We don't grow if we don’t question. We stagnate when we don’t grow. And when we stagnate, we repeat the same mistakes.
But history doesn't repeat itself because we make the same mistakes. History repeats itself when we refuse to learn from past mistakes and instead keep repeating them.
Change your perception of the world and yourself to stop the cycle. There is no set in stone. Everything is in constant flux.
Accepting uncertainty is the key to breaking this cycle. Accept that things might go wrong. To accept the possibility of failure. Accept that failure is possible.
Accept that your goals may not be achieved. Accept that you may not achieve your goals. However, it is important to keep working towards improving.
You will always remain stuck in the past if you hold on to certainty. You can't move forward if your beliefs are fixed.
Freedom is only possible if you are willing to let go. You must let go of control if you want to move forward.

How did marketing history turn into propaganda?
The term "propaganda," which was first used in 1879 by Max Weber, a German sociologist, was derived from the Greek word Praopagos which means "to communicate well". The Latin verb "propere" (meaning "nearby"/ "at hand) and the noun ("agogos"), meaning "speech/discourse," gave rise to the word. It is "a systematic attempt to shape attitudes and behavior."
In his book "Propaganda," published in 1928, British journalist George Orwell wrote: "To understand the true nature of propaganda, we must realize that it is not the intention to make people believe anything; it is only the intention to change their beliefs...It is intended to make them accept one thing rather than another."
Edward Bernays (1891 - 1995), who served as Sigmund Freud's nephew and psychoanalyst, became famous after he invented the term "public relations" in 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. He started the public relations agency "Bernays & Company", where he remained until 1955.
Bernays invented an "engineering permission" technique, which allowed him to influence public opinion through publicity and advertising campaigns. His methods were later adopted in mass media such as Time Magazines, CBS News and NBC News. Bernays worked closely with corporations and government agencies after World War II to influence public opinion. Johnson & Johnson were among his clients.
His most notable client was the tobacco industry. He assisted Philip Morris in launching a campaign to stop smoking. In 1939, the Surgeon General recommended that smoking should be banned inside. The Cigarette Advertising Act was passed in 1965. It prohibited any advertisement for cigarettes in print media including newspapers and television.
He also provided advice to President Franklin D Roosevelt regarding how to handle the growing labor force during the Great Depression. Bernays suggested to the president that he declare a "war against hunger" and use the federal government's ability to ensure adequate food supplies. This strategy made government appear like a caring father figure and helped President Franklin D. Roosevelt win re-election.
Bernays was a pioneer in the promotion of radio listening to increase sales. He also introduced the concept of "branding" and "advertising" in the early 1930s. He believed that consumers can be influenced by appealing directly to their emotions and making them feel special. For example, he promoted the slogan "Have you got what it takes?" 1933: Encouraged women to invest in war bonds.
In 1944, he established the political action committee "Young People for Freedom". This group had one goal: to encourage Americans aged between 18 and 30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower was elected president in 1952 after Bernays' efforts were successful.
Bernays persuaded CIA to set up a coup in Iran. Shah Reza Pahlevi took over Mohammad Mosaddegh's place. This was necessary to stop Mosaddegh nationalizing Iranian oil fields. After the coup, Bernays wrote articles praising the new regime as a "moderate," "progressive," and "modernized" one.
Bernays won many other awards during his career.
