MALALA GETS NOBEL



"I speak not for myself but for those without voice....
those who have fought for their rights....
their right to live in peace, their right to be treated with dignity,
their right to equality of opportunity, their right to be educated."

Who can stop the courage of this young girl ? When the world nations fails against terrorism she stood against it. Who cannot admire the braveness she showed against the Taliban and al Qaida.
Its undoubtable to say that she is the strongest teenager of the century. No one  else but Malala Yousafzai, the epitome of  courage , deserves the Nobel Prize for peace.
Yes the Pakistani girl who stood for female education has become the youngest Nobel Prize recepient. 
The story of this girl is an inspiration for all.The local Taliban of the Swat Valley of northwest Pakistan had at times banned the education for girls. But Malala stood forward as the advocate for female education challenging terrorism. She encouraged her friend's of Pakistan to join school. The story of this girl spread as wildfire.
The incident that happened on 9 October 2012 became a life changing one for Malala. While leaving home from school she was shot three times by a terrorist. But that couldn't stop the girl from her desires. The world through out came in support for Malala. She recovered quickly and started fighting for her dreams. Yes, the story of this girl continues...
Let's remember ... One Book, One Pen, One Child and One Teacher can change the world.


See the courage she possess ;

ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA - THE BOOK OF ANY THING AND EVERYTHING


I can say without any doubts that the ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA is the most popular and the most sold English encyclopedia. Do you know what is special about the Encyclopedia Britannica on December 6 ?  The date is so special because the first Encyclopedia Britannica was published on December 6, 1768.

Now let me tell you some facts about the Britannica. The 2010 edition is the last printed edition of this encyclopedia. Rather than nearly hundred full time writers over 4000 people have contributed which includes 110 Nobel Prize winners and five American presidents. The encyclopedia Britannica is the oldest English encyclopedia still in production. The first encyclopedia was a three volume book later the book expanded and released the fifteenth and last edition as a 32 volume book. The book contains about 40 million words on half a million topics.

The 21 century marked the set back of the Encyclopedia Britannica. The large boom in the development and use of the electronic medias allowed people to get information about anything and everything online rather the using Britannica. But Encyclopedia Britannica will remain in the hearts of  all knowledge seekers.
