YOU MUST SELL THIS INCENTIVE TO YOURSELF!

There are those who do poorly at this, as in their minds books have become stigmatized somewhat, being associated with the often-traumatic experiences suffered at school. With the onerous task of schooling finally over, these people bend over backwards in order to severe themselves by psychological decapitation from the ‘constraints’ of books.

Books are the lynchpin of self-development and realization of creative potential. You must discover that education should free your mind to discover the hidden, and transport yourself from the brink of oblivion.

One of the first tomes I recall tackling was my father’s dog-eared dictionary. After I decided to become a writer, I proceeded to devour every literary work in sight. Articles and expositions in national newspapers, writing in general, about writing events, and about successful writers followed next. Finally, when I could afford them, I delved into acquiring books on writing.

And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon the tables, that he may run that readeth it. Habakkuk 2:2

There are those who have built great achievements upon the foundations of books and rigorous study.

Benjamin Franklin was an American statesman and scientist as well as writer who disillusioned with British rule, helped draft the American Declaration of Independence amongst three other founding documents, all of which he signed. This man gained, nevertheless, a worldwide reputation for his scientific work. It was recorded that “….. his experiments with electricity led him to invent the lightning rod, devise the theory of positive and negative charges, name the battery and become one of his century’s foremost scientists. As for his Poor Richard’s Almanac adages, they made him not only a best-selling author but also the first American media mogul: printer, editor, publisher, newspaper franchiser, and consolidator and controller of the first great distribution network-the postal service. His inventions included the Franklin stove and the bifocal lens”. Benjamin Franklin has been described as a savant of the twentieth century.

Wilbur and Orville Wright have been equally described as self-taught engineers. I think there is something paradoxical in the fact that it would take bicycle repairers to invent the airplane. I mean the bicycle is a very earth-bound contraption that its rider has to pedal frantically to achieve meaningful momentum. But the brothers were no ordinary bicycle repairers; they had their hearts filled a vision sky high.

About the brothers, a writer wrote, “The Wright Brothers had been fascinated by the idea of flight from an early age. In 1878 their father, a bishop in the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, gave them a flying toy made of cork and bamboo. It had a paper body and was powered by rubber bands. The young boys soon broke the fragile toy, but the memory of its faltering flight across their living room stayed with them. By the mid-1890s Wilbur was reading every book and paper he could find on the still earth-bound science of human flight…… While the brothers bicycle business paid the bills, it was Wilbur’s abiding dream of building a full-size flying machine that inspired their work”.

Wilbur Wright read until, together with his brother, he laid hold to the key to human flight! Between 1899 and 1902, the Wright Brothers built and tested kites and gliders . By 1903, they piloted the first manned, powered flights of patent on airplane-control system. And by 1908, they landed the contract to manufacture planes for US Army.

When the history of aviation is recalled in full, other men whose names would be mentioned include Ferdinand Adolf August Heinrich Graf von Zepplin, a testy count, and his mammoth dirigible; Clement Agnes Ader and his Eole (a flying machine based on his close observation of birds, flying insects and bats. Using chloroformed mice as bait, Ader was reported to catch eagles, cage them and then, while they were still woozy with the drugs, gently move their wings and study their articulation. And Alberto Santos Dumont, heir to a Brazilian coffee fortune and his engine-powered airships.

There are several other obscure achievers, too, who read and studied themselves to greatness!
