Frequently Asked Questions
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 make mistakes and fail to learn. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle in 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. We cannot change them.
This conditioning prevents us from thinking critically. To question authority. Questioning authority. We don't grow if we don’t question. If we don't grow we stagnate. When we stagnate we make the same mistakes again and again.
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.
By changing your outlook on the world and understanding that there is no set way, you can break the cycle. Everything is subject to constant flux. Everything is subject to constant flux.
The key to breaking the cycle is to embrace uncertainty. Accept that things can go wrong. Accept that failure is possible. Accepting failure as a possibility.
Accept the fact that you might not reach your goals. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.
It's impossible to move forward if you hold onto the past. If you insist on the existence of fixed truths, then you will never move forward.
If you want freedom, you have to let go. If you want progress, you need to let go of control.
What lessons can be learned from history?
History has taught us three important lessons. 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. Third, when you change the future, you have to make it better.
The first lesson is that you can change the world in two ways. 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.
You can't control how people react to your ideas, but you can control how 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.
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 we learn is that everyone has the option to choose. We can either allow our lives to unfold, or choose to create them. This means we need to choose what kind of life you want. Are we content to wait for someone else's approval to let us live? Do we want to control our destiny?
I'd argue that we're living in a golden age right now. We have more opportunities than ever before which is creating excitement. People feel empowered, which is exciting.
This creates a problem. It's difficult for people to know exactly what they want or how to achieve it.
Let's assume you want to purchase a house. You could relax and hope that someone will give you a gift voucher to Home Depot. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" Look for a job which allows you to do that. Then, you can 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. Finally, you would book a plane.
Let's pretend you didn’t know what your goal was. You would most likely do one of these things. You can increase your chances to get what you want by asking these questions. This may seem absurd, but it works.
And the third lesson is that no matter what happens next, you can always improve the future. The reason is simple. Your choices influence who you are and what 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 have something to offer the world, you're already behind. You must believe that you are capable of doing more than you thought possible.
Start with what you already know. Start small and then build on it. Think about what you've learned throughout your life. Which areas have you struggled with? What has been your greatest success? 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 stated, "Nothing can work unless it works."

Successful Inventions made by accident
Inventors make errors. How we deal with those mistakes is what determines whether our inventions succeed or fail.
When it comes to invention, there are no accidents. Each invention was created intentionally. There are no accidental inventions.
Invention is an intentional act. Intentionally making something new. Something that solves an issue. It makes someone's life easier.
However, the key to creating a successful invention is understanding how nothing happens by accident. Instead of trying avoidable mistakes, learn from them.
Invention is not easy. Invention requires hard work and persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
That means you must spend a lot of time thinking about problems and ideas. What is the most important thing for people? What do they want?
Ask yourself these questions. Questions that will help you figure out what kind of product or service you should develop next.
This requires you to let go of any preconceived notions. Any assumptions about what the world wants or needs. You need to pay attention to the needs of your potential customers and customers.
Learn what they really want. You must learn what they really want.
Once you know what your customers want, it is time to create a way for them to get it. This is where invention begins.

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
Ferdinand de Lesseps designed the Suez Canal to connect Europe to Asia in 1869. He needed to create a canal that would cross the Isthmus of Suez, which is the narrowest point. This would allow ships from Europe to reach India or China. This involved the construction of several locks, dams and tunnels. He made several trips to Egypt, where he negotiated with the Khedive Ismail Pasha to finance the project. However, when he returned to France, he found that Napoleon III had been overthrown and replaced by the Second Empire, which had no interest in such a costly project. It took him three years before the French government agreed to 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.
The project opened up trade routes to increase international commerce and helped many countries develop around the world, including Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Japan and South Africa.
In addition, the Suez Canal made it possible to travel much quicker than before. It used to take weeks, if not months, to cross the Isthmian Peninsula. Now, it takes only days. People could visit places like Paris, London, Rome, and Constantinople without going through long sea voyages and dangerous storms. In addition, the Suez Canal shortened the distance between North America and Europe by almost 3,000 miles, making it easier for people to move back and forth. The Suez Canal was one of the greatest transportation projects of all time.
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. Although the Suez Canal passed under Egyptian control following the end the war, both the British and Egyptians still held the land.
After the Second World War ended, the Suez Canal continued to be an important part in global trade until 1948 when it was closed by the Arab-Israeli Conflict. At first, both sides did not want to act against each other, fearing the other side might use force. Eventually, Israel captured the Sinai peninsula from Egypt in 1967, and the Suez Canal was closed to all shipping except for military vessels. The four-year-old closure ended when President Sadat reopened Suez Canal to civilian traffic in 1972.
