A child was born three months after the death of his father. Born prematurely, he was a small child; his mother said that he could easily fit inside a quart mug. When he was three, his mother remarried and went to live with her new husband, leaving her son in the care of his maternal grandmother.

He began his schooling in the village schools. When he was 15 yrs, his step father died and his mother came back only to remove him from school and attempted to make a farmer of him. He was thoroughly unhappy with the farm work. One of his high school teachers helped him back to school to complete his education.

At the age of 19 he fell in love, romanced for a year and got engaged to his beloved. But he became engrossed in his studies and let the romance cool itself & she left him married someone else. He never married. He faced challenges everywhere!

He was born unlucky with much hardship for very survival & struggle for education.

What can you expect that child to do & achieve in life? Think!

He described universal gravitation (Gravity) and the three laws of motion. He invented the reflecting telescope and made many contributions to mathematics.

Yes we are talking of Sir Isaac Newton
