In 1963 one of the most fascinating discoveries was made by a Turkish man while he was renovating his house. He knocked down one of the basement walls and found there was an entire underground city lying under the area. He had found the lost city of Derinkuyu.The construction of the underground city started between the 8 th and 7 th centuries BCE. It was constructed by the Indo-European people, and it's believed that chapels were built in the underground city after the population converted to Christianity during the Roman times.

Successful Inventions Made by Accident
Inventors make mistakes. However, how we react to these mistakes will determine whether or not our inventions are great successes.
The fact is there are no accidents when it comes to invention. Every invention was designed. An accidental invention is not possible.
A deliberate act of invention is called an invention. An intentional decision to create something new. Something that solves an issue. You can make someone's life easier.
Understanding that mistakes are not inevitable is the key to invention success. Instead of trying to avoid making mistakes, learn from them.
Although it would be nice to think that invention is easy, it's not. Invention takes persistence and hard work. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
You will need to spend a lot time thinking about ideas and problems. What are people interested in? What do they need?
Ask yourself these questions. Questions that will help you figure out what kind of product or service you should develop next.
You must let go of all 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.
It is important to find out what your clients 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. Here's where invention really begins.
What can Abraham Lincoln teach us?
Abraham Lincoln said, “I am slow to understand; very fast to forget.”
He was conscious of how important it was for him to keep learning. He also understood that he would eventually have to learn new habits.
This is true for our businesses as well. 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. If nothing else is important, we must learn more, even after we have reached the pinnacle.
Lincoln had the right attitude. He understood that his business could be more successful, but he couldn’t afford to stop learning.
There are two types entrepreneurs. They are those who are busy and those that stay smart.
Those who stay busy focus solely on growing their business. They will be involved in product development, marketing strategies, customer service, or any other daily tasks.
They may feel like they've accomplished something meaningful, but often they're missing the mark. Entrepreneurs who aren't focused on learning more won't see sustainable growth.
What sets successful entrepreneurs apart? Ability to quickly adapt to changing situations.
Successionable entrepreneurs look for ways that they can improve their products or services when faced with difficult situations.
The average businessperson, however, will continue to use outdated methods that don't work. 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.
Do we have to learn history in order to avoid making the same mistakes as before?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We don't learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle in mediocrity.
The same old stories are what repeat history. Our culture has conditioned us to believe there is an immutable law and a fixed truth. They cannot be changed.
This prevents us thinking critically. From challenging authority. Challenge assumptions. If we don’t ask questions, we don’t grow. When we don't learn, we stagnate. And when we stagnate, we repeat the same mistakes.
But history doesn't repeat itself because we make the same mistakes. History repeats itself because we refuse to learn from our mistakes and instead continue to make the same ones over and over.
It is possible to break the cycle of history repetition. You can change the way you see the world, and your perspective by realizing that nothing is fixed in stone. Nothing is fixed. All things are in constant flux.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accept that things might go wrong. To accept the possibility of failure. To accept that failure is a possibility.
Accept that you may not achieve your goals. But to accept that, you should strive to improve anyway.
Holding on to the past will keep you stuck. You can't move forward if your beliefs are fixed.
To achieve freedom, you must be open to change. You must let go of control if you want to move forward.

How To
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 at shaping attitudes and behaviors.
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 believed that "the conscious manipulation of the organised habits and opinions by the masses is an integral part of a democratic nation." He created the public relations firm Bernays & Company in 1927. He worked there until 1955.
Bernays devised a technique called "engineering consent" to influence public opinion using advertising and publicity campaigns. This was from the 1920s to 1950s. His methods were later adopted by mass media outlets such as Time Magazine and CBS News. Bernays began to work closely with corporations, government agencies, and individuals after World War II. Johnson & Johnson was among his clients.
His most notable client was the tobacco industry. In 1939, he helped Philip Morris develop a campaign against smoking, which resulted in the Surgeon General recommending that smoking should be banned indoors. The Cigarette Advertising Act of 1965 was passed. This law prohibited any cigarette advertising in print media, such as magazines, newspapers, or television.
He also gave advice on how to deal during the Great Depression with the growing labor movement. Bernays advised that the president declare "war on Hunger" and use federal government's power in order to ensure adequate food. This strategy helped the president win reelection in 1936 by making the government appear benevolent and fatherly.
As the popularity of radio increased, Bernays started promoting the idea of "radio listening" to increase sales of radios. He introduced the concept "branding", "advertising" and other concepts in the early 1930s. He believed that consumers could feel special and be influenced through appealing to their emotions. For example, he promoted the slogan "Have you got what it takes?" in 1933, encouraging women to buy war bonds.
He created "Young People for Freedom" in 1944. The group's goal was to encourage Americans aged 18-30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower was elected president in 1952 after Bernays' efforts were successful.
Bernays convinced CIA in 1953 to stage a coup d'etat in Iran. Shah Reza Pahlevi would replace Mohammad Mosaddegh. This was necessary to stop Mosaddegh nationalizing Iranian oil fields. Bernays wrote articles in praise of the new regime, calling it a "moderate," a "progressive", and a "modernized" one after the coup.
Bernays received many other awards throughout his career.
