Smoke a tobacco pipe to the sunrise, because today is the birthday of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1859, Doyle studied medicine at the
University of Edinburgh, and there he met Joseph Bell, his favorite
professor. Bell taught his students how to make a successful diagnosis
through observation and deduction.
After graduating, Doyle
opened his own practice and wrote fiction in his spare time. In 1887, he
published A Study in Scarlet, a mystery featuring a character based on
his old professor: the detective Sherlock Holmes. He ended up writing 56
short stories and four novels with the famous detective, including The
Hound of the Baskervilles (1902).
Doyle said, "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
And Sherlock Holmes said to his sidekick, Dr. Watson, "You have a grand
gift for silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a
companion."
Here is a share-able gem: "My mind rebels at
stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse
cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper
atmosphere. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for
mental exaltation."
