In times past, centuries and even millennia ago; the world bowed to men of wisdom and astounding intellect. Such men brought forward postulation after postulation, theory after theory, and of most significance; invention after invention.
Yes, Alexander Graham Bell and Henry Ford thought of ways to make life better and they did!
Their ideas sparked incredible revolutions which have climaxed in the ‘app-age’ we find ourselves today.
But what if these great men never saw the need for advancement or searched for problems to solve and loop-holes to fill? What if Socrates and Plato never liberated their minds enough to see beyond their noses? What if the Pharaohs of Egypt never thought of creating such a wonder as the pyramids?
What if?
In the Garden of Eden, Adam named all the animals and even upon banishment, when he found out he was naked, he invented clothing as a cover... just look at what clothing has evolved into today, a multi-billion dollar industry.
You will agree with me that even in the modern era, men of the avant-garde order like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs not only excelled in their fields of practice, but contributed to humanity, in a way that will never be forgotten.
Activists, revolutionaries and freedom fighters with great ideas of liberalization and emancipation have saved many-a-nation from damnation and depression, and put them on the road to world domination!
The private sector is not left out, as many companies and corporations on the brink of collapse have been saved by one idea, which in some cases has blossomed into big business that now meets the needs of many.
The motor vehicle, the airplane, the telephone and the internet have changed the way we live our lives, with their inventors etching their names forever in history’s elite book.
Today, we immortalize many who saved us from the shackles of yesterday and made today more memorable to live in…
WHY DON’T WE GET TO WORK AND MAKE TOMMORROW A WONDERFUL ONE FOR OUR CHILDREN!
I DARE YOUR IDEA…
