It all started with an earthquake that hit off around the Fukushima plant region. This lasted for about three to six minutes. The earthquake totally disrupted the infrastructure of the region including electricity, gas, water and railway. This earthquake was so severe that the region shifted on its axis, moving towards the east. In less than an hour, this triggered a tsunami, the first of many tsunamis in the country’s northern shores.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we have to learn history in order to avoid making the same mistakes as before?
History repeats itself because we keep making similar mistakes over and again. We don't learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History also repeats itself because we keep believing the same old stories. Our world is conditioned to believe there are immutable laws and fixed truths. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.
This makes it difficult to think critically. It prevents us from questioning authority. From challenging assumptions. And when we don't question, we don't grow. If we don't grow we stagnate. And when we stagnate, we repeat the same mistakes.
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.
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 permanent. All things are in constant flux.
The key to breaking the cycle is to embrace uncertainty. Accepting that things may go wrong. To accept the possibility of failure. Accepting that failure is possible.
Accept that you may not reach your goals. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.
If you hold fast to certainty, you'll always be stuck in the past. You'll never move forward if you cling to the idea that there are fixed truths.
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 we learn by Abraham Lincoln's example?
Abraham Lincoln said, "I am slow to learn; very quick to forget."
He knew how important it was to keep learning because he understood that there would come a time when he would need to unlearn old habits and embrace new ones.
The same goes for businesses. No matter how meticulously we plan for success and what our goals are, there will be moments when we get stuck in a rut.
It is vital to continually learn and develop new skills. Even after we achieve success, it is essential to continue learning.
Lincoln had the right attitude. Lincoln understood that he could be more efficient in his business but that he couldn't quit learning.
There are two types. There are two types: those who stay active and those who stay informed.
Those who are busy concentrate on growing their businesses. They are involved in marketing strategies, product development, customer support, and other tasks every day.
They may feel accomplished, but they are often missing the mark. These entrepreneurs will not achieve sustainable growth unless they are focused on becoming smarter.
What sets successful entrepreneurs apart from ordinary ones? Ability to quickly adapt to changing situations.
Entrepreneurs who are successful find ways to improve their products and services when they face challenges.
Average entrepreneurs, on the other hand, stick to old methods that don't work anymore. They don't want to change until the business goes under.
To be successful, you have to master both the art and skill of self-reflection.
What can we learn from the past?
History has taught us three important lessons. First, to truly change the world, one must take responsibility for it. The second is to ensure that people are ready to accept change in their lives. Third, you can't change the past without changing the future.
The first lesson is that there are two ways to change the world. One is to fight to get it. The other is to create. Fighting for it is about winning, not remembering why you started fighting.
You cannot control what people think, but you can make sure they like the way you present them. You'll inevitably fail if you set out to convince someone of something. But if you set out to inspire someone to action, you'll succeed.
The idea of a great movement was born when someone had it and took action. 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 each of us has a choice. You can either let your life happen or you can choose to make it happen. This means we must decide what kind of life we want to lead. Do we expect someone else to let us live? Or are we ready to decide our fate?
We are living in a golden age, I would argue. This is a time of great opportunity, which creates a lot excitement. People feel empowered to create their futures, and that's exciting.
This creates a problem. It's hard to know what you want.
Let's say, for instance, that you are looking to buy a home. Or you could just sit back and wait for someone to give you a gift card to Home Depot. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" You can then search for a job where you can do it. 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?" Next, you might start saving money, looking up countries online, and talking to your friends. Then, you book a trip.
Now, let's say you didn't know what you wanted. You would most likely do one of these things. Asking yourself these questions will increase your chances of getting the results you desire. Although it may sound silly, it is effective.
And the third lesson is that no matter what happens next, you can always improve the future. This is because it's simple. Your choices determine who you are and who you become.
Use history to your advantage, to learn from other people's failures and successes and to keep improving until success.
If you don’t believe you can offer anything, you’re already behind. You must believe you are better than you think you are.
Start with what you already know. Start small and go from there. Look back at the things you've done throughout your lifetime. What are you most proud of? What are you proud of? How have you overcome obstacles?
Don't forget to remember that only you can limit your potential. No matter what others say, you are capable of doing anything you set your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin stated, "Nothing can work unless it works."
Who was the original person to have said that historical people don't learn.
As much as we would love to live in an ideal world where everyone learns from history, there is nothing more valuable than learning from our mistakes.
You can't learn anything better than trying it wrong.
The biggest mistake you can make is not ensuring that it goes right the first and only time.
As long as you keep making improvements, you'll eventually understand why you made those changes.
You might find out that it was easier than you thought.
However, that doesn't mean you should not try again. That's a sign that you have learned a lot.
While you may not be able avoid making mistakes, there are ways to minimize them. And that's the difference between success and 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.
And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Edison. He failed many more times before he invented the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. He used every failure as an opportunity to improve the design.
He developed the most well-known form of lighting we have today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Please take advantage of them.
And then try again.

How To
How did marketing history become 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 word came from the Latin verb "propere," meaning "nearby" or "at hand," and the noun "agogos," meaning "speech or discourse." It is "a systematic effort towards shaping attitudes and behaviour."
George Orwell, a British journalist, wrote in his 1928 book, "Propaganda": "To understand propaganda's true nature, we need to realize that it does not have the intent to make people believe anything. It is only the intention of changing their beliefs...It is meant to make them accept one thing over 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 said, "The conscious and intelligent manipulations the organized habits or opinions of the masses is an essential element in a democratic democracy." He created the public relations firm Bernays & Company in 1927. He worked there 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 began to work closely with corporations, government agencies, and individuals after World War II. Some of his clients included Johnson & Johnson, General Electric, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Company, U.S. Department of Defense, American Tobacco Company, DuPont, Rayonier, and the United States Chamber of Commerce.
His most famous client was the tobacco business. 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, 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 suggested that the president declare a "war on hunger" and use the federal government's power to ensure adequate food supplies. This strategy made it look like the government was a father figure and helped the president to win re-election in 36.
Bernays began to promote the idea that radio listening could increase radio sales as radio popularity grew. 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.
He established a political action group called "Young People for Freedom" back in 1944. This group was created to encourage Americans between the ages of 18 and 30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower won in 1952, thanks to Bernays’ efforts.
Bernays persuaded CIA to set up a coup in Iran. Shah Reza Pahlevi took over Mohammad Mosaddegh's place. This was done to stop Mosaddegh's nationalization of Iranian oil fields. Bernays wrote articles praiseing the new regime after the coup as "moderate," progressive, and modernized.
Bernays won many other awards during his career.
