Ignaz Semmelweis proved this with his work in hospitals. He questioned why woman were dying in child birth when they were taken to hospital, while women who had home births were not. By looking at medical practice over time, he could see a pattern. In particular, he noticed doctors in hospitals were going straight from the mortuary to deliver babies in the maternity wing. His introduction of hand disinfection was met with much scepticism by doctors. His statistical analysis of the results of infection over time, would change the way antiseptic procedures were carried out. Today, we have much to be grateful for, when we need medical attention.

    Masters of Time

    Masters of Time
    Dr. Charles Margerison reflects on the precious commodity of TIME. This recording will tell you how Amazing People, in their lifetimes, recognized opportunities, seized them and turned them into outstanding achievements. Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex, made a very successful business out of it, by producing beautiful watches and clocks. Mother Theresa once declared “Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin”. The great inventor Benjamin Franklin once stated that “Lost time is never found again.” Amazing people like President Lincoln, Mozart, Dr. Marie Curie, Harriet Tubman, Michelangelo and Leonardo DaVinci, all had one thing in common – they used their time well. Everyone who acquires a watch recognizes that time is precious. They want to use it well and not have regrets. They respect those who were achievers. Our audios on the life stories of amazing people show how time can be used to improve one’s performance and achievements in life. There is much we can learn from this. (c) www.amazingpeopleclub.com
