#50: Something from Nothing
Here’s an incredible story about a young man rising from nothing to really make something of himself and help his village. I think if most of us had to drop out of school at 14, we would give up and figure that we had achieved as much as we were possibly going to be able to in terms of education.

But not him! He kept working to improve his own mind and his village. I think there’s a metaphor in there! He was able to use a lot of trash to create something useful and meaningful. In the same way, he took life circumstances that to some people would look like trash and was able to build something amazing out of them.
