Part 2
I was born and brought up in Malawi, one of the poorest countries
in Africa, where magic ruled and modern science was a mystery.
It was also a land suffering from drought and hunger, and a place

where hope and opportunity were hard to gain.

One day I came across an American textbook titled Using Energy,
which greatly changed my life. The book said, "Energy is all

energy? Read on and you'll see." So I read on and on.

Another idea suddenly came to me, and I imagined myself

spinning the pedals of a bicycle. "The energy for movement is
provided by the rider," the book said. I understood.

"Yes, of
