A young boy with no formal education, not his fault, his parents couldn’t afford it. A good excuse to become a nobody right? WRONG. He got a flare for science and was always playing with chemicals, spending what little change he got from menial jobs on reagents, even though he couldn’t afford most things in life. Rather than wallow in shame and give in to depression, he simply buried himself in his love, spending what little money he could get on it.
This poor young child grew to become a man, he overcame the limitations of his childhood and rejected the obvious fate his background offered him.
HE MADE SOMEBODY OUT OF HIS NOBODY.
And how much of a somebody did he become? He became the inventor of the light bulb, the first man ever to design an electric power distribution system, the owner of over 9000 patented inventions, the key to the electric revolution and start of a new era for humanity.
I wonder, who would have lost out if Thomas Edison refused to become a somebody?
In the same light I wonder who would have lost the most if Ben Cason didn’t build himself and become the first Neurosurgeon to successfully separate Siamese twins joined in the head.
Now I wonder, who will lose if you give in to your fears, frustration and the so called limitations of your environment, getting put down by your background and what you don’t have.
This is the truth, you lose, but more than you, everyone who should have benefited from the impact of your success will be doomed to failure because YOU GAVE UP.
THE LIMIT OF ANY NATION IS THE LIMIT OF THE MINDS OF HER PEOPLE, the strength of every nation is as great as the boundlessness of the imagination of its citizens.
Every nation has more to lose if you fail to aim for the highest heights possible.
America Benefits more from the success of its leaders than the leaders themselves, Microsoft and the world benefits more from the success of Bill Gates and the entire world benefits more from the zeal and passion of the Google brother, more than they do.
If the political sector lacks leaders, it is because someone has refused to pay the price to be that great leader. If we lack scientist, engineers, states men, daring and ingenious business men, empire builders, industry builders and great visionaries, it is because somebody somewhere, MAYBE YOU, has refused to maximize their potentials and become
ALL THAT THEY CAN BE, TO THE GLORY OF OUR GREAT NATION.
THE WORLD NEEDS YOU MORE THAN YOU NEED YOURSELF.
Live Deliberately.
