Winston Churchill once said
“Those that fail
to learn from history
are doomed to repeat it.”
But those of us
who have studied history
know
the majority of people
DON’T learn from history.
And we ALL repeat it.
What learning from history
does
is allow us to see the signs
of an upcoming situation
and
then take action
to avoid it
personally.
Perhaps, if we have
the impact,
we can ensure
EVERYONE avoids it.
We know,
for example,
that book banning
is one step closer
to having a dictatorship.
We know
how dictators function
and how a country would look
under a dictatorship.
(Living under a dictatorship
is NOT good
for business building.
At all.)
We can take action
to stop this from happening
and we can prepare
for the possibility
we won’t be able to stop it.
Study history
because we WILL repeat it
and the knowledge
could save your life.
