How it started?

As an educational advisor who is self-taught, I've faced challenges in traditional schooling and learning, much like many others. Through these struggles, I've come to realize that I am capable of limitless growth and potential as a human being.

I hail from Cameroon, Africa, and later relocated to Germany to pursue my studies with the goal of becoming an electrical engineer. Along the way, I developed a keen interest in reading.

During the period when smartphones and the internet were becoming widespread in my country, I came across Google and subsequently Wikipedia. It was through these platforms that I began acquiring information, which I then shared with my friends. They were often surprised by my knowledge of topics not covered in school, to which I attributed my learning from the internet.

I was first introduced to the world of books by the father of a close friend, whom I also consider a mentor. He is a highly educated and open-minded individual, unafraid to engage in discussions and debates with young people, despite his vast knowledge and wisdom. At the time, he was learning Chinese. One day, during a heated argument with my friend and his parents, his father joined in, and I vividly recall the topic: "Is it preferable to gain knowledge from books before venturing into life's experiences, or to simply dive in, make mistakes, learn from them, and move forward?"
My friend embraced Bruce Lee's philosophy of "being like water," while his father and I held contrasting views. Our conversation veered into topics such as religion, colonization, and more. In the end, he presented me with my very first complete book: the renowned "Art of War" by Sun Tzu. Despite its brevity, it took me a considerable amount of time to finish, as delving into reading was a new experience for me, often leaving me nodding off soon after I began. However, through perseverance, I discovered my true passion for reading and learning.
Upon arriving in Germany, my passion was ignited further by observing people, often in public transportation or parks. However, the most remarkable sight for me was witnessing homeless individuals sitting on the streets, asking for money while engrossed in reading.
Initially, I voraciously consumed every book within reach, eager to absorb knowledge from any source available. I sought to discover if notable figures were also self-taught learners. I was astonished to find that some of the individuals who significantly impacted our world were indeed autodidacts.
Among them were Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Abraham Lincoln, Wallace Chan, and others.
This revelation instilled in me the confidence and determination to embark on a project initially dubbed "Autodidact." My intention was to convey to others that great accomplishments are possible without formal education, given one possesses passion and a thirst for knowledge and most impotant how they can make it happen.

However, my time in Germany underscored the extensive work that remains to be done in our own country and continent. While many discuss the problems we face, few offer practical solutions. To address these challenges, I took the initiative to study the genuine histories of developed nations, starting with Germany, America, England, France, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, China, Ancient Greece, and Rome. I discovered that the common thread leading these nations to success was education. This realization led me to immerse myself in learning everything I could about education—from philosophers, psychologists, educators, neuroscientists, nutritionists, scientists, parents who raised hight- achieving indivuduals (Maya Musk, Sonia Carson, Ester Wojcicki, Margot Bisnow), child psychiatrists, to the greatest teachers, and beyond.

I was astounded to learn that, aside from religious authorities, most of these individuals did not endorse the traditional methods of child rearing and school organization. They had been advocating for change for centuries. The primary advancement, thus far, has been the widespread access of women to education worldwide.

After five years of extensive reading and research, I renamed the project "Education Universe." I came to understand that to foster progress akin to the nations I studied, we require more than just self-taught individuals and serendipity. We need a meticulously planned educational system where everyone plays a role in achieving substantial and enduring advancement.
