Between 1974 and 1978, Ted Bundy orchestrated a campaign of terror that stretched across the United States, luring a series of pretty, dark-haired women to gruesome deaths. Described as handsome and charming, Ted didn't fit the bill of a conventional murderer. Until the end, Bundy remained arrogant and defiant, choosing to conduct his own defence in the trial. Bundy was sent to the electric chair in 1989, whilst hundreds of people cheered his death outside the prison.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can we learn from history to avoid repeating past errors?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We do not learn from our failures. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle to mediocrity.
History also repeats itself because we keep believing the same old stories. Our culture has conditioned us to believe there is an immutable law and a fixed truth. They cannot be changed.
This makes it difficult to think critically. From questioning authority. By challenging assumptions. We don't grow if we don’t question. And when we don't grow, we stagnate. If we stagnate, then we make the exact same mistakes.
However, history does not repeat itself because we keep making the same mistakes. History repeats itself because we don't learn from our errors and keep making the same mistakes.
Change your perception of the world and yourself to stop the cycle. Nothing is fixed. Everything is constantly changing.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. To accept that things could go wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. To accept that failure is a possibility.
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.
You can't control your destiny. You must let go of control if you want to move forward.
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.
Experience it wrong is the best way to learn.
The real error is not making sure you do it correctly the first attempt.
As long as you keep making changes, you'll eventually find out why you made the change in the first place.
You might find out that it was easier than you thought.
However, that doesn't mean you should not try again. It means you've learned a lot.
You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. And that's the difference between success and failure.
Recognizing your mistakes starts at the beginning. Look at your mistakes objectively, and then ask yourself: "What lessons have I learned?"
You'll find that mistakes can be viewed as lessons if you are honest with yourself. They're learning experiences that can help you grow.
Thomas Edison went through exactly the same thing. 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 failures. These are your opportunities to learn.
And then try again.
What is the most important lesson you can learn from history?
There isn't an easy answer to this question. However, there are three main points to consider when thinking about learning. The first is to realize that knowledge can be power. Second, knowledge can be cumulative. Third, knowledge is constantly changing.
Knowledge is power because it empowers us to make better decisions and improve our lives. Perfect information would make it easy to make informed decisions. We'd do what we want, without worrying about whether it was correct or not.
However, while knowledge is power, it is also cumulative. This means that knowledge is not only powerful, but also cumulative. As time passes, we become smarter and smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now move on to the third point. Although knowledge is cumulative, it doesn’t stay static very long. Knowledge is always changing. Scientists are constantly discovering new facts, theories, or ways to think. There are always new discoveries.
Technology allows us to quickly access knowledge, and is crucial for our culture. Technology makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in digital form and share it among millions of people worldwide.
In addition to technology, globalization has changed the way we view knowledge. Globalization refers to the spread of ideas and products across borders. Globalization means that knowledge is accessible anywhere.
Anyone can access any information on the internet. You can watch movies, browse the internet, listen or play music and read books. All of these activities require knowledge.
Knowledge is becoming more available, but it is also becoming more niche. For example, if you go online today, you'll find hundreds of thousands of websites offering advice on topics such as health, finance, business, cooking, sports, and travel. These sites offer information on nearly every topic possible.
But if you go online to buy a car, you'll probably find only a few dozen sites offering automotive-related services and products. There are many sites that cover every topic, but you will only find a few websites that focus on cars.
Because experts in certain fields can share and create valuable knowledge, this is why specialization is important. Experts are often experts in a specific field. 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, they can concentrate on a few sites that have lots of useful content.
Experts also have the advantage of specialization. They can build strong businesses around this expertise. If someone purchases a book, they expect the author to be an expert in his field and to present a clear and concise explanation. He wants to feel confident that the author is able to convey his message.
An expert who isn't a specialist risks losing customers who are expecting him to be one.
Specialization isn't limited to just one area. Most people are experts in multiple areas today. It could be that we are an accountant, a lawyer or a doctor. Or a teacher. It is also possible to be a parent, spouse, friend, or fan.
Specialization is so common that some experts argue that it's impossible to succeed without being an expert in several different things.
So how do you become an expert in multiple areas? You can do it by practicing. It's necessary to work hard to learn. When you start to make progress, it's important to keep going until your skills are recognized by others.
There are whole industries dedicated to helping others reach this goal. Many courses, workshops and seminars, as well as schools, teach how to quickly gain knowledge.
What lessons can be learned from history?
Three lessons can be learned from history. First, you must do it yourself when you change the world. It is important to make sure that people are prepared for change when you try to improve their lives. You can only change the future if it is better.
The first lesson is that you can change the world in two ways. One is to fight to get it. The other is to create. When you fight for it, you focus on winning and lose sight of why you started fighting in the first place.
Although you cannot control the reactions of people to your ideas, you can control how they are presented. If you want to persuade someone, you'll eventually fail. If you try to convince someone to do something, you will fail.
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 we all have a choice. We have two options: we can wait for life to happen to you or we can make it happen. We must choose the kind of life that we want. Do we expect someone else to let us live? Do we want to control our destiny?
I'd argue that we're living in a golden age right now. We have more opportunities than ever before which is creating excitement. It's exciting that people feel empowered and able to create their futures.
It also presents a problem. It's not easy to know what you want or how to get it. Therefore, it is important to identify what you want and then find a way.
Let's assume you want to purchase a house. You could wait and see if someone gives you Home Depot gift certificates. Or, you can ask yourself, "What do I love to be doing?" You can then search for a job where you can do it. Then, you can apply for financing.
Now, suppose you were to travel the world. The question you might be asking yourself is "Where do I want go?" You might then start saving money and researching other countries online. The final step is to book a flight.
Let's suppose you don't know what you want. In this case, you'd probably end-up doing one of the things. You can increase your chances to get what you want by asking these questions. It may seem silly, 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 influence who you are and what you become.
It is important to take inspiration from past experiences, learn from mistakes and succeed until you are successful.
If you don't believe you have something to offer the world, you're already behind. You have to believe in yourself.
If you don't know where to begin, start with what you know. Start small and move on. Take stock of the lessons you've learned in your entire life. What have your failures been? What are you proud of? How have you overcome obstacles?
Remember that you are the only one who can limit your potential. No matter what anyone may say, you can do whatever you want.
Benjamin Franklin wrote, "Nothing works unless you do."
