My brother Helped invent Word Processing!
I was very fortunate to have been raised by a genius and remember when he was only sixteen years old, I helped him do an experiment that showed how man would breath in space before we ever went up. He was cited by Air Force around the country for his discovery and they used his scientific/medical findings in our future manned space flights.
Did he make any money for his discovery? No, not a penny. The Child-Like inventive mind simply creates with no thoughts of ‘End Results’ for to do otherwise would be living, dead.
As the world warns us to be careful, the scientist/inventors/artists no matter what age, don’t hear the warnings..creation is ‘child’s play’ and they are in their own magical place, imaging new worlds!
When my brother sent the mice into space to show how man would breath, he never stopped to ask for the end results of his experiment, nor how much he would make or if he was doing anything of significance. He didn’t care.
The world teaches us to ask; “How Much”, “How Big” and to be extremely cautious yet the experiment I did with my brother which ultimately helped man explore space, cost us about $20.00 for the string, mice and handkerchiefs!
What fun I had being raised by a scientist/inventor who went on to help invent Word Processing. He never heard the ‘No’s’, or the ‘Be Careful’s’…he followed his inner voice that said; “Do It! Do It! and Do it Some More!’
By the way, he was a high school drop out proving life has ‘many ways it unfolds’, and NEVER ‘the way’!
