Elias Howe
(1819-1867) was born in
The sewing machine
invented by Elias Howe was at first utilized, not for sewing clothes, but for
stitching shoes. The main breakthrough was the development of a lock-stitch
by a shuttle carrying a lower threat and a needle carrying an upper thread
which passed through a hole situated at the tip of the needle. For thousands
of years, people had been accustomed to make a hole at the base of the
needle. So, following their lead, Elias Howe made the needle of his machine
with a hole at the base, instead of at the tip as is now the practice. The
placement of an eyelet, simple as it may seem to us now, remained a big
hurdle for its inventor for quite some time. It was only a dream which
finally brought about the desired solution.
As he was racking his brain to perfect his
machine, Howe dreamt that he had been captured by a primitive tribe and was
ordered to produce an operational sewing machine within 24 hours, failing
which he would be speared to death. He tried hard, but could not accomplish
it. When the deadline was up, the tribesmen surrounded him and raised their
spears to kill him. Scared, yet still concentrating, he observed that each
spear had an eyelet at the tip. He kept on gazing at the eyelet and then woke
up with a start: the solution was right before him For the
machine to work, the placement of the hole had to be neither in the middle
nor at the base, but at the tip. His lucky dream helped him, in 1845, to
produce a sewing machine that would complete 250 stitches a minute. What is a
dream? It is the result of complete involvement. What we think about during
the day, we dream about at night. Howe succeeded in inventing a machine only
because he had engrossed himself in it to such an extent that he cam to dream
about it. Such is the case with any undertaking, whether one wants to invent
a machine, or bring about a revolution in human life. One achieves success in
one’s aim only after complete involvement; only when the thing one has set
one’s mind on becomes a part of subconscious existence that is reflected in
one’s dreams. (Author: Waheed-ud-Din Khan,
Translation: Dr. Farida Khanam) Another lesson
we can learn from this story is the traditional mentality developed over a
long period of time often becomes a hurdle in creativity. One has to break
down this mentality to perform a creative job. Mubashir Nazir
