Frequently Asked Questions
What lessons can be learned from history?
Three lessons can be learned from history. The first is that you have to do it yourself if you want to change the world. The second is to ensure that people are ready to accept change in their lives. Third, the future must be better if you want to change it.
The first lesson is that there are two ways to change the world. One is fighting for it, the other is creating it. You can lose sight of the reason you started fighting.
Although you cannot control the reactions of people to your ideas, you can control 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.
The idea of a great movement was born when someone had it and took action. Whether you are creating change or responding to it, these are the three best ways to make your mark. Be clear about what is important to you, be open about where you came from, and dare to go where no one else has.
The second lesson is that each of us has a choice. Either we wait for the right circumstances to unfold or we can make them happen. We must choose the kind of life that we want. Is it better to decide what kind of life we want or wait for someone else? Or do you want to be in control of your destiny?
I believe we are living in a golden era. There is more opportunity than ever, which makes it exciting. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.
This creates a problem. It's hard to know what you want.
For example, let's say you want to buy a house. Or you could just sit back and wait for someone to give you a gift card to Home Depot. You could also think about what you would love to do. You can then search for a job where you can do it. Final step: Apply for financing.
Now let's imagine you wanted to travel around the world. It's possible to ask, "Where do you want to travel?" You might then start saving money and researching other countries online. You'd then book a ticket.
Let's pretend you didn’t know what your goal was. If that were the case, you would probably do one of those things anyway. 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 that regardless of what happens next, there are always ways to improve the future. The reason is 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 have to believe in yourself.
You don't need to know everything in order to start. Start small and go from there. Reflect on the lessons that you've taken from your experiences throughout your life. Which areas have you struggled with? Which areas have you excelled? How did you overcome obstacles?
Finally, remember that the only person who can limit your potential is you. No matter how much anyone tells, you can achieve anything you set your mind.
Benjamin Franklin stated, "Nothing can work unless it works."
Who said that history doesn't teach the ignorant?
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.
It's not better to try something wrong than to learn how to do it right.
The real error is not making sure you do it correctly the first attempt.
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.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't 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.
Recognizing your mistakes starts at the beginning. Look at them objectively and ask: "What can I learn?"
Being honest with yourself will help you see that your mistakes are only lessons. They are learning opportunities.
And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Edison. He failed numerous times before finally inventing light bulbs.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he took each failure as an opportunity and improved his design.
He invented the best form of lighting that is popular today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. These are your opportunities to learn.
Then, try again.
What can we learn from history to avoid repeating past errors?
History repeats itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes repeatedly. We make mistakes and fail to learn. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
Because we continue to believe the same old stories, history repeats itself. 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. The ability to question authority. To challenge assumptions. We can't learn if we don’t challenge our assumptions. And when we don't grow, we stagnate. If we stagnate, then we make the exact 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. Everything is subject to constant flux. All things are subject to constant change.
Uncertainty is key to breaking the cycle. Accept that things might go wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. Accepting failure as a possibility.
Accept the fact that you might 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. 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 our failures teach us?
Don't be too concerned about making a mistake. It's an opportunity to learn. It's a learning experience that will help you to improve your skills. But more importantly, when you make a mistake, you can change it. Don't worry about the little things, there is nothing wrong with making errors. We all make mistakes.
It's okay to feel embarrassed about a mistake. However, it doesn't really matter if you feel ashamed. What matters is how you deal with those mistakes. If you let them bother you, they'll eat away at you inside. Instead, see them as an opportunity for growth and you'll be stronger.
The best way to overcome a mistake is to acknowledge and move past it. You don't need to dwell on it. Instead, you should focus on the next step. Keep moving forward.
Do not obsess about your mistakes. Instead, learn from your mistakes and look for ways you can improve. Learn from your mistakes, and you will be a better person tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Made by Accident
Inventors make mistakes. However, the way we react to those errors will determine whether our inventions turn out to be great successes or failures.
There are no accidental inventions. Every invention was done intentionally. There is no such thing a accidental invention.
An invention is a deliberate act. An intentional decision to create something new. Something that solves the problem. You can make 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.
Although it would be nice to think that invention is easy, it's not. Invention is hard work that requires 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 are people concerned about? What do they need?
These are questions that you should ask yourself. These questions will help guide you in deciding what kind of product/service you should develop next.
To do this, you have to put aside any preconceived notions. All assumptions about the world's wants and needs. You need to pay attention to the needs of your potential customers and customers.
You must find out what they want. They are not what they say 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 begins.
