THE ORNAMENT OF SIMPLICITY

THE ORNAMENT OF SIMPLICITY

Here is an incident in the life of Michael Faraday, the great scientist who invented the dynamo. It is this invention that converts magnetic force and generates electricity.

Michael Faraday was a very simple man. He dressed simply and spoke so humbly that no one ever knew what a brilliant scientist he was. One day, an officer of the Royal Mint of England wanted to meet Faraday.

On reaching the building of the Royal Society, the officer was shown to Faraday's lab.

When the officer went n, he saw an old man in a simple dress washing bottles in a basin. The smartly dressed officer asked him, "Are you the watchman here?" "Yes," said the old man. The officer asked the old man a few questions about his wages and his work, to which the latter replied politely. Finally, the officer casually asked the old man his name.

"They call me Michael Faraday", said the old man. The officer was full of apologies, but Faraday was not at all offended by all this. The officer thought to himself, "How simple this great ma is! Or, is he even greater because he is so simple?"

Thus, simplicity is a wonderful way of life. You can find happiness through clean, simple, healthy living.
