“The man who will not read has no advantage over the one who cannot read”
-Mark Twain
The world is advancing at an astronomical pace, the last hundred years has seen the invention or coming to fruition of the ideas held in the mind of humanity for the last thousand years1.
With the current pace of advancement, in a short while those who have nothing to offer humanity either in invention or in ideas will find themselves in the backyard of great people with no option but to use what has been abandoned by the modern man, they may just find themselves as the primitives of the new world we keep entering every day.
Reading is the first step in the process of creation. Creating whatever one has to create starts with a mind broadened by education. Education here does not mean attending a university, rather education means bringing out what is in the mind, blossoming the best in us. The semantic meaning of the root word of education, “educere” means to bring out what we have within. Reading is the great passage from which we access the interior of our mind. Reading does not mean books only but reading from the open book of everybody we meet, the events of our past and most importantly reading the writing of great souls.
Some inventions had their primary idea propounded by ancient thinkers, e.g. electricity was used in ancient temples as far back as 3000bc in places like china, Egypt and other advanced civilzations. Steam engine was first propounded by Hero of Alexandria in 1st century AD, the idea of telephone has been there since the 10thcentury, things like submarine and planes were drawn by leonado da vinci,
“the earnest expectation of creation awaits your revelation”
There is an abundance of wealth in you,wealth meant for the wellbeing of humanity…………..search within and blossom it.
I believe in you
