Learn how to attend meetings without leaving the comfort of your sofa, as your "virtual self" does all the work. Meanwhile, the children can have lessons with computerised teachers on the other side of the world, opening up whole new horizons of learning. But there is a downside. In the 1970s everyone predicted an end to drudgery as we worked fewer and fewer hours per day. Now, experts say the future will bring more hard work and less job security. On the other hand, there's a good chance we'll all be better off financially, and fears that robots and computers will take over are unfounded - in the next century, they'll know their place.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the three most important lessons from history?
History is filled with examples of how mistakes can be learned from. They can be applied to current business challenges, and transformed into opportunities for growth.
The past teaches us there is always another way. There's always someone out there that thinks outside the box, and takes risks that make him or her stand out.
History also shows us that it's often the underdogs who succeed. If you ever feel lost, overwhelmed or stuck, remember the times when the underdog prevailed.
You can learn from the past, and bring those lessons into the future. Learn from others' failures and successes.
These lessons will help you increase your success rate.
Can learning about history stop us from repeating past mistakes?
History repeats itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes repeatedly. We do not learn from our failures. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History also repeats itself because we keep believing the same old stories. Our world is conditioned to believe there are immutable laws and fixed truths. That we cannot do anything to affect them.
This is a way to stop us from thinking critically. To question authority. Questioning authority. And when we don't question, we don't grow. If 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 itself when we refuse to learn from past mistakes and instead keep repeating them.
You can break the cycle of history repetition by changing how you look at the world and yourself, by understanding that nothing is set in stone. Nothing is permanent. All things are in constant flux.
Accepting uncertainty is the key to breaking this cycle. To accept that things could go wrong. Accepting that failure may be possible. Accepting that failure is possible.
Accept the fact that you might not reach your goals. You can accept this, but you must continue to strive for improvement.
Holding on to the past will keep you stuck. If you believe there are only certain truths, it will be impossible to move forward.
You can't control your destiny. To move forward, you must give up control.
How to Learn Easily from Human History's Victories and Failures?
You don't have to wait for history to repeat itself. It doesn't take very long to learn from the failures of human history. You just need to avoid repeating the mistakes.
Recognize the lessons from the past to help you build your business.
This can be achieved by reading books on leadership, management strategies, and case studies of successful companies who have been around for decades.
This way, you'll be able to draw inspiration from their successes and avoid common pitfalls they fell into.
You can also study examples of businesses that have gone bankrupt. Why did they fail? Do these failures have any common themes? These insights can help you avoid making costly mistakes.
Finally, you can read about famous historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln, John D. Rockefeller, Steve Jobs, and Elon Musk. Although they had some of most impressive resumes anywhere, none knew how manage people or run businesses. Learn from their mistakes to help you make better decisions.
The bottom line is that learning from the victories and mistakes of human history is easy. All you need to do is spend a few minutes every day thinking about what has worked well in the past and finding ways to implement them today.
What can we learn from Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln stated, "I am slow learner; I am quick to forget."
He was aware of the importance to continue learning, knowing that there would be a time when he would have to relearn his old habits and adopt new ones.
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. We must never stop learning, even after reaching the top of our success.
Lincoln was a good example of the right attitude. He recognized that while he could become more effective in his business, he couldn't stop learning.
There are two types of entrepreneurs. 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 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 from ordinary ones? You are able to adapt quickly to changing conditions.
Entrepreneurs who are successful find ways to improve their products and services when they face challenges.
However, most entrepreneurs stick to old-fashioned methods that no longer work. They will not change their ways until they fail.
To be successful, you have to master both the art and skill of self-reflection.

How To
What can humankind learn by the past mistakes of its ancestors?
We've been here before. However, there is nothing wrong with learning from past mistakes. It might even be a way for humanity to survive another crisis.
If we keep an open mind and look for lessons to guide us forward, we may make it out alive.
Problem is when we don't learn from the mistakes of the past and deny that the human nature hasn’t changed much since the beginning.
There are many wisdoms in the old methods, but because they clash with our beliefs, we tend to ignore them. Instead of accepting changes that we find difficult, instead we hold on to what is familiar.
The world is constantly changing and our way of living together changes. We face more challenges as our environment becomes more complex.
We must change. We're more likely to fail if we don't use the same strategies as before.
We lose sight of our values when we do this and we become slaves to the habits we have created.
Our brains are able to adapt to situations that existed thousands years ago. Those days aren’t gone forever.
The future isn’t certain. There is still much to be done.
Humans still have the ability to accomplish amazing feats. We can still create remarkable technologies. To explore new frontiers and discover unexplored territories.
But we choose to be limited. To fear evolution. To reject evolution. To think that what worked yesterday will still work tomorrow.
Some people try to fight this trend. They view themselves as rebels against the status quo. Fighting against the system. Against the system.
They are rebels who pride themselves on challenging the conventions of society. They challenge the conventions of society.
They resist rules and regulations. They don't like conformity. They don't care much about social expectations. They think they are superior to everyone else.
These people, I wish them all good luck!
You're going to need it!
Because you're fighting an uphill battle. The forces that drive mainstream society's success are powerful.
In many places around the globe, the majority has no interest in listening to you. There is little interest in your point-of-view.
It doesn’t matter how brilliant, well-intentioned, or bright you may be. Your ideas might not be accepted by the majority.
Your message could be lost on the ears of deaf people. That's precisely why you'll need strange lessons from the past.
Because that is where the real power lies. This is where you can truly make a difference.
This is where others can be inspired to achieve their goals. Where you can build movements that transform societies.
Let me ask, what do you want? Do you wish to live upto other people's expectations or do you prefer to create your own path? Or would you prefer to set your own course?
