Synopsis: If someone were to tell you "History happens every day," how would you respond? You might be tempted to say: "History is only in the past. Old places, lost kingdoms, faraway lands ... stuff like that." But events happening around the world right now will be history some day. Small events may only be part of your own personal history. Larger events may change the course of history in your community, your nation, or the world. The news of these events comes from everywhere, right? It's on television, it's online, it's in newspapers, it's on the radio; it even comes by word of mouth. You are bombarded from every direction. How you choose to use that information is up to you. You can ignore it, or you could recognize that it is changing the world you live in. Many successful people are those who not only know what is happening around them, but who can also see the possible consequences.
