Great Thinkers Widen our Knowledge
Great thinkers include scientists, inventors and other people who pioneered through inventions and discoveries numerous things we benefit today.
When we learn about great thinkers along with their lives and times, we enlarge our knowledge, and even expand our competencies.
World shapers and movers have always fascinated me even as a child, and so I was not surprised when, visiting an acquaintance recently, I got excited seeing a handful of distinguished scientists on the wall of her private gallery.
Just about anyone can learn and expand their knowledge by reading or using other media like television, newspapers & magazines, movies or even talking to experts. This website will feature scientists and inventors, movers who not only we can learn from but can also serve as our motivators and inspiration.
By learning about their discoveries and inventions, struggles and successes, joys and pains, we not only appreciate their contributions we enjoy today, but we also understand and recognize our own challenges.
Two movers born today, December 20:
- Sidney Hook (1902), American philosopher, teacher and author of major philosophy books. He was a prominent New York intellectual who championed democracy and humanism.
- Jaroslav Heyrovsky (1890), Czech chemist who discovered polarography. He was awarded the 1959 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
