Practice Witchcraft

Empty heads make the loudest rattles

Every day you will see or hear or think of clever new ideas, and work-arounds and short cuts and innovations. And every day you will likely abandon them for fear of what the neighbors or the family or your coworkers will think. You can hear the whispers and the lectures before they begin.

And so you do nothing.

William Kamkwamba built a windmill from scrap and scavenged material using engineering manuals written not in his native language. His neighbors thought he was crazy, or hiding in the junk yard to smoke marijuana. When it worked, and he was able to light light bulbs and charge cell phones people were impressed, until the rains were late and people began accusing him of using witchcraft to steal the wind. William's windmill can irrigate his family's fields even if the rains don't come allowing his family to survive droughts.
