Frequently Asked Questions
What can we learn about Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln said, “I am slow to understand; very fast 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 much we plan for success in the future, there will always be times when we are unable to move forward and end up stuck in a rut.
It is crucial to continue to learn and grow. If we are to achieve the pinnacle, we must keep learning.
Lincoln had the right mindset. He knew that he could improve his business' effectiveness, but he couldn’t stop learning.
There are two types. Those who stay busy and those who stay smart.
Those who stay busy focus solely on growing their business. 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. They won't be able to sustain their growth if they don't also work smarter.
What sets successful entrepreneurs apart? You are able to adapt quickly to changing conditions.
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 refuse to change course until their business fails.
You must be able to master both self-reflection and adaptation in order to succeed.
What are three things that you can learn from the past?
There are plenty of examples from history that show how we can learn lessons from our mistakes. They can be applied to current business challenges, and transformed into opportunities for growth.
We have learned from the past that there are always other ways to do things. You will always find someone who thinks outside of the box and takes chances that make them stand out.
History shows that the underdogs are often the ones who win. When you feel overwhelmed, stuck or lost, think back to the times when they won.
You can learn from the past, and bring those lessons into the future. Learn from the failures and successes of others.
These lessons will help improve your success rate.
What lessons can be learned from history?
History has taught us three important lessons. First, you must do it yourself when you change the world. The second is to ensure that people are ready to accept change in their lives. Third, when you change the future, you have to make it better.
The first lesson is to recognize that there are two options for changing the world. One is to fight for it; the other is to create 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. If you try and convince someone to do something, it will be a failure. But, if your goal is to inspire someone to act, you'll be successful.
Every great movement began with someone who had an idea and decided that they would act on it. 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. Either we wait for the right circumstances to unfold or we can make them happen. 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? Or are we ready to decide our fate?
I believe that we are living in the golden age. There are more possibilities than ever before, which has created a lot of excitement. People feel empowered to make their own futures and that's very exciting.
This creates a problem. It's hard to know what you want.
For example, let's say you want to buy 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?" Find a job that will allow you to do it. Apply for financing.
Now, let's say you wanted to travel the world. It's possible to ask, "Where do you want to travel?" You might then start saving money and researching other countries online. Then, you book a trip.
Let's suppose you don't know what you want. You'd likely end up doing one of these things anyway. 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. It is very simple. Your choices determine who you are and who you become.
So the trick is to use history as a guide, to learn from others' mistakes and successes, and keep improving until you succeed.
If you don't believe you have something to offer the world, you're already behind. 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 work your way up. Consider what you have learned over the course of your life. What have you failed at? What were your successes? How did you overcome your obstacles?
Don't forget to remember that only you can limit your potential. No matter how much anyone tells, you can achieve anything you set your mind.
Benjamin Franklin stated, "Nothing can work unless it works."
Who first said that people who don't learn history from the past are stupid?
We all wish to live in a world where everyone learns from the past, but there are more valuable things than learning from our mistakes.
It's not better to try something wrong than to learn how to do it right.
It is a mistake to not do it correctly the first time.
As long you keep making adjustments, you'll eventually see the reason you made them.
You might find out that it was easier than you thought.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you should stop trying. It means you've learned a lot.
It may not always be possible to avoid making errors, but it is possible minimize them. And that's the difference between success and failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes begins the process. Look at them objectively and ask: "What can I learn?"
Your mistakes will only be lessons if your honesty is honest. They are learning opportunities.
Thomas Edison had to go through the exact same thing. He failed many more times before he invented the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he saw each failure as an opportunity for improvement in his 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. These are your opportunities to learn.
Then try again.

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
Ferdinand de Lesseps designed the Suez Canal to connect Europe to Asia in 1869. To do this, he built a canal across Isthmus of Suez. It allowed ships from Europe to travel to India and China. This required the construction of several locks and dams. He went to Egypt many times to negotiate with Khedive Ismail Pasha for financing the project. When he returned home to France, he discovered that Napoleon III had been overthrown, and was being replaced by the Second Empire. They had no interest in such an expensive project. It was three years later that the French government funded the project. In 1859, after the British were defeated at the Battle of Omdurman during the Sudan War, they signed a treaty allowing them access to the Red Sea via the Suez Canal, which opened in 1869.
This project was instrumental in opening up trade routes and increasing international commerce.
In addition, the Suez Canal made it possible to travel much quicker than before. Before its construction, it took weeks or months to cross the Isthmian Peninsula; now, it only takes days. People could travel to Paris, London Rome, Rome, and Constantinople easily without having to make long sea voyages or brave dangerous storms. Additionally, the Suez Canal reduced the distance between North America & Europe by nearly 3,000 miles, making it more convenient for people to travel back and forward. These features made the Suez Canal a major transportation project.
However, the Suez Canal also caused problems because it divided the Ottoman Empire into two parts, eventually leading to the First World War. During the war the British used Suez Canal in an attack on Germany. But the Germans attacked Britain using their canal version. Although the Suez Canal fell under Egyptian control at the end of World War II, the British maintained their control over the land to either side.
After the Second World War, the Suez Canal remained an important part of global trade until the Arab-Israeli conflict began in 1948. Both sides were reluctant to take action against the other at first because they feared that one side might use force. In 1967, Israel took the Sinai peninsula from Egypt and closed the Suez Canal to all shipping, except military vessels. The four-year-old closure ended when President Sadat reopened Suez Canal to civilian traffic in 1972.
