“For self-educated scientists and thinkers such as Charles Darwin, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Leonardo-da-Vinci, Michael Faraday, myself and many others, education is a relentless voyage of discovery. To us education is an everlasting quest for knowledge and wisdom.” InspirationalWisdomMotivationalLeadershipInspiringEducationKnowledgeBrainy QuotesSelf EducationDarwinNaskarAutodidactFaradayAutodidactismRamanujanDropoutDa VinciAutodidacts Book:The Education Decree Source: The Education Decree
“When I started training myself in Neurobiology, Psychology and Theology, mostly on the streets of Calcutta, at the book kiosks on the sidewalk, for I had no money to buy the books, I had no academic background - no college degree - no potential for earning a decent living - I was a direction-less canoe in the open sea. I did not come from a rich or learned family, nor did I have rich friends, so, as far as everybody else was concerned, my life was doomed. I come from the humblest of origins - like did Ramanujan, like did Tesla, like did many more legendary thinkers of human history. I didn't know the rules of academia - I didn't know the laws and the norms of the scientific community - all I knew was that I had to understand the humans if I were to unite them. Other than that, I had no clue to my future. I learnt by failing - I learnt by making errors - I learnt by moving slowly but surely, and by never losing my sense of awe. And that's really what science is about - it's about naivety, curiosity and awe.” ScienceKnowledgeBrainy QuotesHumanitarianScience QuotesPhilosophy Of ScienceAutodidactAutodidactismNeuroscientistsAutodidacts Book:Mission Reality Source: Mission Reality
