Michael Faraday is the source of inspiration to people who think that higher eduction is absolutely necessary to be a renewed scientist like Faraday. This is not so! To support this argument Michael Faraday is the perfect example. Faraday didn't receive a formal education, yet through the dint of hard work and sheer determination he became one of the most famous scientist of 19th century. Faraday was the first scientist who succeeded in liquefying a permanent gas. This was without doubt a great discovery of his time. Moreover, Faraday is much acclaimed for his major contribution to electricity and magnetism. It was Faraday who laid the foundation of the electric motor, the generator, the transformer, etc.Michael Faraday was born on September 22, 1791, in Newing ton Butts, London. His father name is Mr. James Faraday and mother is Mrs. Margaret Hast well. Mr. James Faraday was a blacksmith and he was managing to survive on a very meager income. Faraday's early childhood was spent in poverty and hardship. When Faraday was ten, he saw all his playmates going to school. Faraday also want to go to school, Mr. James Faraday wanted to send his son to school, but he was simply unable due to his very poor finical state. His income was quite low and also not very reliable. Due to such an erratic income from his profession Mr. Faraday realized the fact that his father would not be able to send him to a school. Although Faraday was not going to school, he had an unusual obsession for reading and collection books of all kinds. His interest chiefly lay in science. He began to collect good books no matter how expensive they were and, to meet the expenses of buying books; Faraday to do all sort odd jobs that come his way.
Faraday was going to a job when he met one of bosom pals, he informed Faraday about a job opportunity available in a book binding shop so Faraday getting an opportunity to read plenty of books. After 8 years of service in Mr. Riebaus shop, Faraday than joined in Mr. De La Roche's bookbinding shop. Here too Faraday did his work with complete dedication and gave his master on opportunity to make a complaint against him. During this period Faraday has successfully managed to cone ct his own personal library which he kept in his little bedroom where he would study physics while reading science and the works of great scientists, Faraday began to nurture a desire of becoming a scientist deep in his heart. In 1823 Faraday succeeded to liquefy chlorine gas slowly but steadily, Faraday was emerging from obscurity into the limelight as a rising scientist.
The loads of work and staying up late into the night caused severe harm to his health workload, the often collapsed . Despite this he did not give adequate rest to his body. In his old age, Faraday complained of losing his memory and that made him unable to write about studying or experiment on new things as freely as he wanted. Faraday passed away peacefully at the age of 76 in his arm chair on august 25. 1867.
