Two philosophers that had a great impact were Isaac Newton and Benjamin Franklin. Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17, 1706, in Boston Massachusetts and later became the man known for creating the lightning rod and the theory for conducting electricity. A very inspiring quote from him is “Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.” Isaac Newton was also a great philosopher in his time and still is. He was born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, U.K. He eventually went to Trinity College (1667-1668) He went on to invent what is now known as Newton’s law of motion, the law of universal gravitation and inertia. Carving the pathway for many scientists that have come after him. An inspiring quote from him is “If I have ever seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” These people definitely impacted what we are doing today in our lāhui maybe not by what they did but definitely by how they acted and what they said. For instance, Benjamin Franklins quote “Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.” We are literally making history as we speak so it’s either stand up or be forgotten. I by far do not want to be forgotten. Isaac Newton also has a very relevant quote “If I have ever seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” This perfectly reflects the values of teamwork. And how to work together. It is basically saying that if he was ever above any else it was because of the endless help and support of the peers alongside him. The theories and inventions that these philosophers have created impact not only our group but the world because not a single person is able to ignore the reality of the theories they created. That is what makes them so undeniable.
