Frequently Asked Questions
What is the greatest thing about history?
This question is not easy to answer. Learning can be viewed in three ways. We must first realize that knowledge is power. Second, knowledge can be cumulative. We must also be able to appreciate the speed at which knowledge can change.
Knowledge is power. It empowers us to make better choices and improve our lives. If we had all the information, it wouldn't be difficult to make decisions. We would always do exactly what we wanted without worrying about whether it was right or wrong.
Knowledge, although it is power, is also cumulative. Once we have learned something, we can continue adding knowledge to our brains. As time passes, we get smarter and smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's move on to the next point. While knowledge is cumulative, it doesn't stay static for very long. Knowledge is always changing. Every day, scientists discover new facts, theories, and ways of thinking. Each day new discoveries are made.
Technology is a key component of our culture. It allows us to instantly access information. It is possible to store large amounts of data digitally and share it with millions of people around the world.
Globalization is changing the way that we view technology. Globalization refers to the spread of ideas and products across borders. Knowledge is now available everywhere because of globalization.
Anyone can access any information on the internet. Anybody can access the internet to read, watch movies, listen and play music, as well as surf the net. All these activities require knowledge.
Information is becoming more accessible and more specialized. If you search online for advice on health, finance or business, you will find hundreds of thousands of sites offering information about topics such as cooking, travel, sport, or business. These websites offer information on almost every topic you can think of.
But if you go online to buy a car, you'll probably find only a few dozen sites offering automotive-related services and products. Instead of finding thousands of sites covering every conceivable subject, you'll find only a handful covering cars.
Experts in specific fields are able to create and share valuable knowledge. Experts often have a deep knowledge of a particular area. Experts are also capable of producing high-quality content targeted at their audience.
Consumers will appreciate this specialization because they won't have to go through tons of irrelevant information. Instead, consumers can narrow their search to a select few websites that contain lots of useful information.
Experts also gain from specialization, as they can create strong businesses around the expertise that they have. A person buys a book because he expects that the author is knowledgeable enough about his topic to be able to give a concise and clear explanation. He wants to feel confident that the author is able to convey his message.
An expert who does not specialize risks losing out to potential customers who expect him be knowledgeable.
The scope of specialization doesn't stop at one area. Nowadays, specialists are not limited to one area. You might be an accountant or lawyer, a doctor or teacher. However, we are likely to be parents, spouses, friends and fans.
Experts agree that it is impossible to succeed in one area without being skilled in another.
So how can you become an expert across multiple fields? You can do it by practicing. You've got to put in the hours necessary to learn something. You can make great progress if you continue to work until people recognize you.
There are many industries that help others achieve this goal. You can learn how to quickly acquire knowledge through workshops, seminars, conferences and schools.
What can we learn by Abraham Lincoln's example?
Abraham Lincoln said, “I am slow to understand; very fast to forget.”
He understood how important it is to keep learning. He also knew that there would come an occasion when he would need the ability to abandon old habits and learn new ones.
The same is true of our 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. If nothing else is important, we must learn more, even after we have reached the pinnacle.
Lincoln was the right person. He realized that he could not stop learning, even though he was able to be more productive in his business.
There are two types. They are those who are busy and those that stay smart.
Those who stay busy focus solely on growing their business. They work on marketing strategies, product development, customer service, and other daily tasks.
They may feel like they've accomplished something meaningful, but often they're missing the mark. These entrepreneurs will not achieve sustainable growth unless they are focused on becoming smarter.
What makes successful entrepreneurs different from average entrepreneurs? The ability to adapt quickly and to change circumstances.
Entrepreneurs who are successful find ways to improve their products and services when they face challenges.
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.
Who originally said those who don't learn from history?
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.
The best way to learn how to do something correctly is to actually experience it.
The only real mistake is not trying to ensure you do it right the first time.
As long as you keep making changes, you'll eventually find out why you made the change in the first place.
You may even find that you could do it better the second time.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try again. That means you've learnt a lot.
You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. This is the difference between success, and failure.
Recognizing your mistakes is the first step. Take a step back and look at your mistakes objectively. Then ask yourself, "What did you learn?"
You'll find that mistakes can be viewed as lessons if you are honest with yourself. They are learning opportunities.
Thomas Edison was the victim of this fate. He failed many other times before he inventing the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. He used every failure as an opportunity to improve the design.
He also invented the most widely used form of lighting, which is still in use today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. You should learn from your mistakes.
Then try again.
What can we learn from history to avoid repeating past errors?
History repeats itself because we keep making the same mistakes again and again. We fail to learn from the mistakes we make. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
Because we continue to believe the same old stories, history repeats itself. We live in a world where we've been conditioned to believe that there are fixed truths and immutable laws. That we cannot do anything to affect them.
This makes it difficult to think critically. From challenging authority. To challenge assumptions. And when we don't question, we don't grow. And when we don't grow, we stagnate. Stamina is when we continue to make the same mistakes.
However, history does not repeat itself because we keep making 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.
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 subject to constant change.
Uncertainty is key to breaking the cycle. Accepting that things may go wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. Accept that failure is possible.
Accept that you may not achieve your goals. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.
Holding on to the past will keep you stuck. If you believe there are only certain truths, it will be impossible to move forward.
If you want freedom, you have to let go. If you want progress, you need to let go of control.

How To
Accidental Inventions Lead to Penicillin Discovery
How did penicillin get created?
Alexander Fleming accidentally discovered penicillin after noticing mold growing on bacteria cultures that he had not kept. He believed that mold might kill the bacteria and therefore he attempted to find a solution.
He discovered penicillin kills mold and realized that the new drug could also fight bacteria-related infections. Penicillin was a major medical breakthrough. It saved millions of lives and changed the course of medicine forever.
At first, Alexander Fleming didn't know that his finding would be so important. The other person didn't know the same. No one knew that penicillin would become such a powerful antibiotic.
Researchers discovered that penicillin is effective against bacterial infections only after World War II. The U.S. Army approached Dr. Fleming about using penicillin to treat soldiers who were infected. Dr. Fleming was willing to give it a try.
Penicillin is effective against many types of infections, as it turned out. It saved the lives and limbs of many wounded soldiers during World War II. It saved many lives and helped doctors continue their work after the war.
Dr. Fleming had no idea that his discovery would have such an impact. He wanted to make sure mold wouldn't grow on bacteria cultures that he had previously studied. But he couldn’t imagine how this simple experiment could lead to a remarkable medical breakthrough.
The truth is, many discoveries every day don't seem to amount to anything special at all. They are simply experiments made for no reason.
You can see how even seemingly small experiments can have a profound impact on the course of history.
Even though they seem to have very little in common, discoveries end up being extremely significant. Like penicillin. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
It is not because someone has a brilliant idea. It happens when someone solves a problem. Then they experiment to solve their problem.
