Frequently Asked Questions
What can Abraham Lincoln teach us?
Abraham Lincoln said, "I am slow to learn; very 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.
The same goes for 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.
This is why it is so important to constantly learn new ways to grow. If we are to achieve the pinnacle, we must keep learning.
Lincoln had the right attitude. Lincoln understood that he could be more efficient in his business but that he couldn't quit learning.
There are two types. Two types of entrepreneurs exist: those who stay busy and those with smart ideas.
People who are always busy work solely to grow their businesses. They will be involved in product development, marketing strategies, customer service, or any other daily tasks.
Although they may feel they have achieved something significant, they often miss the mark. These entrepreneurs will not achieve sustainable growth unless they are focused on becoming smarter.
What sets successful entrepreneurs apart? You are able to adapt quickly to changing conditions.
Successionable entrepreneurs look for ways that they can improve their products or services when faced with difficult situations.
The average businessperson, however, will continue to use outdated methods that don't work. They are unwilling to change their course of action until their business collapses.
For success, you need to be skilled in both adaptation and self-reflection.
How to Learn from the Mistakes and Victories of Human History.
It doesn't matter if history repeats itself. Learning from human history's mistakes doesn't take long. Just make sure you are not repeating them yourself!
It is important to learn from the past and to apply these lessons to your business.
You can do this by reading books on leadership and management strategies and case studies of successful companies that 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 find examples of businesses that went bankrupt. Why did they fail. Are there common themes between these failures? These insights will allow you to avoid costly errors.
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. It is easy to think about the things that worked well in the past today and find ways to make them work for you today.
What are some lessons from history?
History has taught us three important lessons. To change the world, you have to do it all yourself. 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.
The first lesson is to recognize that there are two options for changing the world. One is fighting for it, the other is creating it. If you fight for it you lose sight on why you started to fight.
While you cannot control their reactions to your ideas or how they present them, you can influence how they are presented. If you want to persuade someone, you'll eventually fail. However, if you are determined to motivate someone to take action, you will succeed.
Every great movement began with someone who had an idea and decided that they would act on it. 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.
Second, we have the ability to choose. We have two options: we can wait for life to happen to you or we can make it happen. This means we must decide what kind of life we want to lead. Do we expect someone else to let us live? Or do we want to take charge of our destiny?
I believe that we are living in the golden age. There's more opportunity than ever before, creating a lot of excitement. People feel empowered to create their futures, and that's exciting.
It also presents a problem. It is essential to determine what you want, and how you can get it.
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. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" Look for a job which allows you to do that. Final step: Apply for financing.
Now, let's say you wanted to travel the world. The question you might be asking yourself is "Where do I want go?" Next, you might start saving money, looking up countries online, and talking to your friends. You'd then book a ticket.
Let's suppose you don't know what you want. You'd likely end up doing one of these things anyway. You can increase your chances to get what you want by asking these questions. It may seem silly, but it works.
The third lesson is that you can always improve your future no matter what happens. It's easy. Our choices impact who we become and who we are.
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.
You don't need to know everything in order to start. Start small and move on. Look back at the things you've done throughout your lifetime. What have you failed to do? What have you succeeded at? How did you overcome your obstacles?
Remember that you are the only one who can limit your potential. No matter what others say, you are capable of doing anything you set your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin said, "Nothing will be successful unless you do."
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.
There's no better way to learn to do something right than to experience it wrong.
The biggest mistake you can make is not ensuring that it goes right the first and only time.
As long as you keep making improvements, you'll eventually understand why you made those changes.
It is possible to discover that you could have done things better the first time around.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try again. This means that you have learned a lot.
It may not always be possible to avoid making errors, but it is possible 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. These are opportunities to learn.
Thomas Edison experienced exactly that. He failed many times before inventing the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he used each one as an opportunity to improve his design.
Over time, he created the most popular type of lighting available today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your errors. You should learn from your mistakes.
And then try again.

How To
Accidental discoveries lead to the discovery of penicillin
How did penicillin get created?
Alexander Fleming accidentally discovered penicillin after noticing mold growing on bacteria cultures that he had not kept. He thought the mold might kill the bacteria, so he tried to find something that would destroy the mold.
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 and changed medicine forever.
Alexander Fleming wasn't aware at first that this discovery would be so crucial. Neither did anyone else. Penicillin would prove to be an extremely powerful antibiotic.
Scientists discovered penicillin could be used to treat bacterial infections, but this was not until after World War II. The U.S. Army wanted to know if Dr. Fleming could use penicillin for soldiers suffering from infections with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming consented to try.
Penicillin was found to be effective against many different types of infection. It became a lifesaver for wounded soldiers during World War II. It saved many lives, and it was used by doctors to save more.
Dr. Fleming was not prepared for his discovery to have such profound effects. He simply wanted to make sure that mold doesn't grow in the bacteria cultures he studied. But he couldn’t imagine how this simple experiment could lead to a remarkable medical breakthrough.
Many of the discoveries that are made each day don't seem like they add up to anything remarkable. 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 discoveries that appear to have little in common end up being extremely important. Like the discovery of penicillin. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
It doesn't happen just because someone has an idea. Because someone has a problem. And then they find a solution through experimentation.
