At TEDGlobal 2007, William Kamkwamba from Malawi made a short but quite impressive talk. When Malawi was hit by famine and he was forced to leave school, he found a book on wind electricity at a village library. He then self-studied the mechanism of windmill, built one by himself, and generated electricity in his mostly unelectrified village. His simple words “I tried and I made it” really struck my heart.
