1) The colonists who survived on their journey to to Jamestown made a lot of mistakes that killed off over half of their remaining which could have been prevented. First, they landed too late to plant crops, so they would have to wait until the following spring. Also, the marshes in their environment carried and bred mosquitos carrying deadly diseases. Many of the men had never learned the value and necessity of hard work, and did not take well to the prospect of labor.

2) John Smith took initiative during this hard time, and told anyone who did not work for their food could not take it from those who had. He also reformed helpless, dying men into able citizens who were able to provide their own food. He also managed to set up trade with nearby natives, who also taught them valuable skills.

3) Learning from these mistakes, I would have made sure there was time to plant crops, which we could have stored for winter as well, and I would have set up a form of government before arrival. Also, I probably would have sent a scout ship to look at the land and brief settlers before deciding we were ready.

4) A lot of times, I will decide I cannot perform a task, or would rather not do the work. However, the most important step to getting anything done is actually starting, because without that one crucial step, nothing will ever get accomplished.
