Artists Leonardo da Vinci, Andrew Wyeth, and Grant Wood get all the acclaim for their priceless works of art. But what about the models that inspired those artists? It’s rare to ever hear their stories. Perhaps the models were artists, as well? Maybe they were the artist's secret lover? Or, could it be in some cases that the model is actually the artist doing a disguised self-portrait?

Frequently Asked Questions
How to Learn from the Mistakes and Victories of Human History.
You don't have to wait for history to repeat itself. Learning from the mistakes of human past history doesn't require much time. Just make sure you are not repeating them yourself!
Recognize what worked in the past, and use those lessons to improve your business.
This is possible by studying books about leadership and managing strategies as well case studies of successful businesses that have been around for decades.
By doing this, you can draw inspiration and avoid the same pitfalls they did.
You can also find examples of businesses that went bankrupt. Why did they fail. Are there any common themes among these failures? These insights will help you avoid costly mistakes.
Finally, learn about the lives of historical figures like Abraham Lincoln (John D. Rockefeller), Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs), and Elon Musk. Although they had some of most impressive resumes anywhere, none knew how manage people or run businesses. So if you want to learn from their experiences, you need to find out why they made so many mistakes.
The bottom line is that learning from the victories and mistakes of human history is easy. You just need to spend a few moments every day reflecting on what worked in the past, and then finding ways to apply them today.
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.
Experience it wrong is the best way to learn.
The biggest mistake you can make is not ensuring that it goes right the first and only time.
As long you keep making adjustments, you'll eventually see the reason you made them.
It is possible to discover that you could have done things better the first time around.
You shouldn't give up on trying again. It means you've learned a lot.
It may not always be possible to avoid making errors, but it is possible minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes begins the process. Look at your mistakes objectively, and then ask yourself: "What lessons have I learned?"
Your mistakes will only be lessons if your honesty is honest. They're opportunities to grow.
Thomas Edison had to go through the exact same thing. 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 developed the most well-known form of lighting we have today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Use them.
And then, you can try again.
What is the most valuable thing that you have learned in history?
This question is not easy to answer. Learning can be viewed in three ways. First, knowledge is power. We must also recognize the fact that knowledge is cumulative. We must also be able to appreciate the speed at which knowledge can change.
Knowledge is power. Because it empowers people to make better decisions. 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 is not just power; it's also cumulative. This means that knowledge is not only powerful, but also cumulative. As time passes, we get smarter and smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now look at the third. Although knowledge is cumulative it doesn't remain static for very long. Knowledge is ever-changing. Scientists discover new theories and facts every day. Every day, scientists discover new facts and theories.
Technology is a key component of our culture. It allows us to instantly access information. Technology allows us to save vast amounts data and share it between millions of people across the globe.
Globalization is changing the way that we view technology. Globalization refers simply to the process by which ideas or products spread beyond borders. Globalization has made knowledge accessible to everyone.
The internet allows anyone to access information any where in the world. Anybody can access the internet to read, watch movies, listen and play music, as well as surf the net. All of these activities require knowledge.
Knowledge is becoming more available, but it is also becoming more niche. There are hundreds of thousands upon thousands of websites today offering advice on topics like health, finance and business, as well as sports, travel, and cooking. These sites provide information on virtually every topic imaginable.
You'll find only a few sites that offer automotive-related services or products if your goal is to purchase a car online. Instead of thousands of sites covering every possible topic, there will be only a handful of sites that are focused on cars.
This is because experts can create and share valuable information in their particular fields. Experts often have a deep understanding of a particular field. Experts can also produce content of high quality that is targeted to their particular audience.
This is great news for consumers as they no longer have to search through a lot of useless information. Instead, they can concentrate on a few sites that have lots of useful content.
Experts also benefit from specialization because they can build strong businesses around their expertise. When someone buys a book, he expects the author to know his subject well enough to write a clear and concise explanation of the material. He wants to know that the author has understood his message.
Experts that aren't specialists risk losing potential clients who expect them to be experts.
Specialization isn't limited to just one area. Many of us today are specialists in many areas. 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.
Some experts say that the commonality of specialization makes it impossible to succeed in many different areas.
How can you become an expert in multiple fields? You can do it by practicing. To learn anything, you have to practice. You can make great progress if you continue to work until people recognize you.
Today, entire industries are dedicated to helping others achieve their goals. You can learn how to quickly acquire knowledge through workshops, seminars, conferences and schools.
What are some lessons from history?
History has taught us three important lessons. First, to truly change the world, one must take responsibility for it. Second, when you change how people live, you must ensure they're ready for it. The third thing you must do to improve the future is to first change how people live.
First, there are two ways to make the world better. The first is to fight for it. The second is to make it happen. Fighting for it is about winning, not remembering why you started fighting.
It is impossible to control how people respond to your ideas. However, it is possible to control how you present them. If you attempt to convince someone of something, you'll fail. If you try to convince someone to do something, you will fail.
Every great movement began with someone who had an idea and decided that they would act on it. It doesn't matter if you're trying to create change or react to it. These are the rules that will help you make an impact.
The second lesson is that each of us has a choice. We can either wait for our lives to happen to us, or we can choose to make them happen. This means that we have to decide what kind life we want. Are we willing to wait for someone to allow us to live? Or are we ready to decide our fate?
I believe we are living in a golden era. This is a time of great opportunity, which creates a lot excitement. People feel empowered to create their futures, and that's exciting.
However, it can also be a problem. It's difficult for people to know exactly what they want or how to achieve it.
Let's suppose you want to buy your first house. You could sit back and hope someone gives you a gift certificate to Home Depot. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" Look for a job which allows you to do that. Finally, apply for financing.
Now, let's say you wanted to travel the world. You might ask yourself, "Where do I want to go?" Next, you might start saving money, looking up countries online, and talking to your friends. And finally, you'd book a flight.
Let's say that you don't have a clear idea of what you want. In this case, you'd probably end-up doing one of the things. By asking yourself such questions, you increase the likelihood of getting what your heart desires. It may seem odd, 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. Our choices impact who we become and who we are.
Use history to your advantage, to learn from other people's failures and successes and to keep improving until success.
If you don’t feel you have any value to the world, you are already behind. You have to believe in yourself.
If you don't know where to begin, start with what you know. Start small, and work your way up. Take stock of the lessons you've learned in your entire life. Which areas have you struggled with? Which areas have you excelled? What were your greatest achievements?
Last but not least, remember that no one can stop you from reaching your full potential. No matter what anyone may say, you can do whatever you want.
Benjamin Franklin said, "Nothing will be successful unless you do."

How To
What can humankind learn from the past mistakes of our ancestors?
We've been there before and we'll likely be back. Learning from history is a good thing. It may even help humanity weather another crisis.
It's possible to survive if we remain open-minded and continue to learn from our mistakes.
It is difficult to learn from the past, and to accept that our human nature hasn’t changed significantly since the beginning.
Although there is a lot to be learned from the old ways, we often ignore them as they are inconsistent with our beliefs. We choose to stay stuck with the things we know, rather than embrace changes we find hard.
But the world keeps changing, and the way we live together constantly evolves. Our environment is becoming increasingly complex and we have more problems to solve.
That means we need to change too. 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 evolved to adapt to conditions that existed thousands of years ago. These days aren’t over forever.
The future isn't written in stone. There's still room for improvement.
Humans still have the ability to accomplish amazing feats. We have the ability to create incredible technologies. To discover new frontiers, and explore unexplored territory.
We often limit ourselves. To fear change. To reject evolution. To believe that what worked yesterday will work tomorrow.
This trend is being fought by some people. They see themselves as warriors against the status quo. Fighting against the establishment. Against the system.
They see themselves as rebels who take pride in defying convention. They challenge the social norms and conventions.
They defy rules and regulations. They are against conformity. They don't care much about social expectations. They believe they know more than anyone else.
To them, I say "Good Luck!"
You'll need it!
Because you are facing an uphill battle. Mainstream society is driven by powerful forces.
You will find that the majority of people aren't interested in your viewpoint. No interest in considering your point of view.
It doesn’t matter how brilliant, well-intentioned, or bright you may be. Your ideas may not be popular with the masses.
Your message might not reach the right people. And that's exactly why you'll need weird lessons from history.
Because this is where the real power lies. This is where the real power lies.
This is where you can inspire others to follow their dreams. Here you can inspire others to create movements that change societies.
Let me ask you one question. Do you want your life to be lived up to others' expectations? Would you prefer to choose your own path?
