Join the club...!

You probably haven’t heard too much about this “Superhero” club. It counts Thomas Edison, Elon Musk, and Kelvin Doe among its members. They don’t wear masks, and we call them Autodidacts.
Thomas Edison had just three months of schooling. Elon Musk taught himself rocket science. Kelvin Doe isn’t signing autographs yet, but he is changing the world with this super power.
Autodidacticism doesn’t require accidental radiation. You can just start learning something on your own to get it. Because we can no longer pretend that schools will teach us everything. There was a time when YouTube and browsing the web brought us tiny snatches of learning online. Today, we have a whole universe of MOOC (Massively Open Online Courses) and online education sites to grab from. One of the more recommended picks is Udemy, EDX.  Over 22,000+ courses are available. Pick a course today and you could just become the next prodigy.
