The fingers and the clever thumb are all slaves of the mind, which thinks and plans. Man’s conquests over Nature tell us about his great powers of mind. How did he make himself glorious among all other creations? Man conquers by knowledge. His acquisition of knowledge through probing makes him supreme.
We have read about many conquerors like Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napolean, etc. Their perseverance, set-goals to be achieved and a thorough knowledge about the world made their dreams come true. We, too, can be conquerors if we learn more from our teachers and books. Knowledge is gained by asking, searching and learning.
