Put Pen to Paper

This month we celebrate the bicentennial births of two men who changed the course of history. In fact, these two great minds – Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin – entered the world on the same day, February 12, 1809. And while they were completely different, their ideas led people to do some serious thinking. Even those who come from humble beginnings – Lincoln was born to two illiterate farmers – can go on to teach lessons worth noting two centuries after their births. What will you leave the world with? Is that bestselling thriller novel just waiting to jump out of your brain? Do you have the ability to find a cure for a crippling illness? Could you become the next ambassador for peace? Whatever gift you can offer, offer it to the world. And don’t waste your ideas because you didn’t have a pen and paper on your nightstand when that brainstorm woke you out of a sound sleep at 4:00 AM. Treat yourself to great tools like an Aficianado pen to get those thoughts down immediately. Perhaps someday your great novel or your graceful speech will have given many a reason to really think. It’s your time to get ready for greatness.
