LEARNING AFTER UNPROMISING BEGINNINGS

“A boy was expelled from his Latin class for slow learning. He resolved to excel in English where he was slow in Latin. He was Winston Churchill, he served as Prime Minister twice (1940–45 and 1951–55) in Britain.”

“A six-year-old boy was sent home from school with a note saying he was too stupid to learn. His name was Thomas Edison, an American inventor and businessman who developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb.”




“Sir Walter Scott’s teacher called him a hopeless dunce. He was a Scottish historical novelist, playwright, and poet, popular throughout much of the world during his time. In fact, Scott was the first English-language author to have a truly international career in his lifetime, with many contemporary readers in Europe, Australia, and North America.”

“Louis Pasteur was reckoned the slowest learner in his Chemistry class. He was a French chemist and microbiologist who was one of the most important founders of medical microbiology. He is remembered for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes and preventions of diseases. His discoveries reduced mortality from puerperal fever, and he created the first vaccines for rabies and anthrax.”

Do not mind whatever the world says about you, just don’t stop. Go and excel today!
