What It's Like To Live In The Diomedes, The Two Tiny Islands In The Middle Of Russia And Alaska

For a few dozen Alaskan Iñupiat natives, it is possible to see Russia from their house. Just below the Arctic Circle lie two land masses between Russia and Alaska, the Diomede Islands. Small, rugged, and surrounded by ice and harsh seas, the islands are located off the Alaskan coast in the middle of the Bering Strait. Little Diomede is considered Alaskan territory, while Big Diomede, the Russian island, has remained uninhabited since the Cold War.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can learning about history stop us from repeating past mistakes?

Because we keep repeating the same mistakes, history repeats itself. We do not learn from our failures. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.

History repeats itself when we believe the same old stories. We live in a world where we've been conditioned to believe that there are fixed truths and immutable laws. These laws are unchangeable and we have no control over them.

This conditioning prevents us from thinking critically. From challenging authority. Questioning authority. We don't grow if we don’t question. And when we don't grow, we stagnate. Stamina is when we continue to make the same mistakes.

History doesn't repeat itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes. History repeats itself because we don't learn from our errors and keep making the same mistakes.

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. Everything is subject to constant flux. Everything is in constant flux.

To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. Accepting that failure may be possible. Accept that failure may be possible.

Accept that you may never achieve your goals. You can accept this, but you must continue to strive for improvement.

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 are some lessons from history?

There are three lessons we've learned from history. First, you must do it yourself when you change the world. Second, when you change how people live, you must ensure they're ready for it. Third, you can't change the past without changing the future.

The first lesson is that you can change the world in two ways. One is fight for it. It is easy to lose sight of why you started a fight in the first place when you are focusing on winning.

It is impossible to control how people respond to your ideas. However, it is possible to control how you present them. You'll inevitably fail if you set out to convince someone of something. But if you set out to inspire someone to action, you'll succeed.

People had an idea, and they decided to take action. This is how most great movements started. You can create change or respond to it. The best way to do this is to be clear and honest about your goals, where you are coming from, and to be bold enough to take the initiative to go places no one has before.

The second lesson we learn is that everyone has the option to choose. We can either allow our lives to unfold, or choose to create them. This means we need to choose what kind of life you want. Is it better to decide what kind of life we want or wait for someone else? Or, do we want control of our destiny and take control?

I'd argue that we're living in a golden age right now. This is a time of great opportunity, which creates a lot 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 take, for example, the desire to purchase a house. You could either sit back and expect someone to gift you a Home Depot gift certificate. You could also ask yourself "What would you love to do?" Find a job that will allow you to do it. Final step: Apply for financing.

Let's pretend you want to travel all over the globe. The question you might be asking yourself is "Where do I want go?" Then, you'd start saving money, researching countries online, talking to friends, etc. You'd then book a ticket.

Let's assume you didn't really know what you wanted. You'd likely end up doing one of these things anyway. Asking yourself these questions will increase your chances of getting the results you desire. This may seem absurd, but it works.

And the third lesson is that no matter what happens next, you can always improve the future. It is easy to see why. Your choices influence who you are and what you become.

So the trick is to use history as a guide, to learn from others' mistakes and successes, and keep improving until you succeed.

If you don’t believe that you have anything to contribute, then you are already behind. You have to believe in yourself.

You can start by learning what you already know. Start small and then build on it. Reflect on the lessons that you've taken from your experiences throughout your life. What are you most proud of? What has been your greatest success? How did you overcome your obstacles?

Don't forget to remember that only you can limit your potential. No matter how much anyone tells, you can achieve anything you set your mind.

Benjamin Franklin wrote, "Nothing works unless you do."


Who first said that people who don't learn history from the past are stupid?

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 biggest mistake you can make is not ensuring that it goes right the first and only time.

Changes are inevitable, and you will eventually realize why you made them.

You might even realize that you could have done this better the first attempt.

This doesn't necessarily mean that you should stop trying. This means that you have learned a lot.

You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. This is the difference that makes the difference of success and failure.

Acknowledging your mistakes begins the process. 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're learning experiences that can help you grow.

Thomas Edison experienced exactly that. He failed many other times before he inventing the lightbulb.

He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he used each one as an opportunity to improve his 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. Use them.

Then, try again.


What do our mistakes show us?

Do not worry too much about making mistakes. It will teach you something. Even more important, you can correct any mistakes you make. You don't have to worry about the small things. There's nothing wrong in making mistakes. We all make mistakes.

Although you might feel embarrassed by a mistake you made, it doesn’t matter how bad you feel. How you handle your mistakes is what matters most. You'll be unable to deal with them if they become a problem. However, if they are seen as opportunities for growth you will come out the other side stronger.

The best way to overcome a mistake is to acknowledge and move past it. Do not dwell on it. Instead, look ahead to the next step. Keep moving.

Don't dwell on your mistakes. Instead, try to find ways to improve. Learn from your mistakes and become better tomorrow.

Successful Inventions Created 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.

The fact is there are no accidents when it comes to invention. Every invention was done intentionally. There are no accidental inventions.

Invention is an intentional act. Intentionally making something new. Something that solves the problem. It makes someone's life easier.

The key to success is not assuming that everything happens by accident. 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 do people care about? What do they really need?

You need to ask these questions. These questions will help to determine the type of product and service that you should be developing next.

You must let go of all preconceived notions. Preconceived notions about what the world needs or wants are not valid. You have to listen carefully to your customers and potential customers.

You have to learn 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 starts.
