Some words have two stresses
I was taught otherwise at university. The stress is very often on the first syllable, especially in two syllable words. In three and four syllable words the stress is usually on third last. I remember two exapmles: victory, exaggarate.
Here's a link where there's a lot of information about English stress.

Я изучаю английский язык и поэтому делаю много ошибок. Но я не прошу Вас исправлять их, Вы можете просто ткнуть меня носом в них, или, точнее, пихнуть их мне в глаза.I'm studying English, and that's why I make a lot of mistakes. But I do not ask you to correct them, you may just stick my nose into them or more exactly stick them into my eyes.
Всё, что не делается, не всегда делается к лучшему
Но так же не всегда всё, что не делается, не делается не к худшему. : D
