THE LUCKIEST MAN IN HISTORY – TIMOTHY DEXTER

Master Vikrant Rohin by Master Vikrant Rohin

Timothy Dexter (January 22, 1747 – October 23, 1806) (self-styled Lord Timothy Dexter) was an American businessman noted for his eccentric behavior and writings. He became wealthy through marriage and a series of improbably successful investments and spent his fortune lavishly.

Most people are unaware of Lord Timothy Dexter. His contemporaries made every effort to keep him out of history.Dexter was illiterate and lacked many of the abilities that other businesses possessed. Luckily, a great deal of luck could and was used to make up for this. His first stroke of success came when he used his affluent wife’s whole fortune to buy worthless Continental Dollars. By some crazy fluke, the constitution’s approval contained a clause requiring the honouring of Continental Dollars at face value of 1%. After acquiring a significant quantity

Dexter Sold Coal In Newcastle And Shipped Bed Warmers To The Tropics : It is crucial to emphasise that Dexter’s only desire was to join the affluent elite class. It is even more crucial to note that he was greatly disliked by his wealthy neighbours, who gave him terrible trade advice. Unaware of the West Indies’ year-round heat, Dexter bought over 40,000 bed warming pans on the recommendation of his neighbours and shipped them there. Once in the West Indies, he realised his error and luck was once more on his side. He made money once more when the owners of sugar plantations bought the pans to stir vats of molasses.

Then a neighbour told him Newcastle needed coal. Dexter despatched a shipment without knowing about the massive coal mine in Newcastle. By some miracle, the coal mine went on strike, allowing him to sell for a significant profit..Here you have to understand that Newcastle ships coal everywhere; this was the first time the people of Newcastle had bought coal from Timothy or any outsider. The phrase “coal to Newcastle” originates from this episode.

His affluence was accompanied by a profusion of quirks. His yard was dotted with enormous statues that portrayed a variety of characters, including himself. Eventually, in a desperate attempt to get attention, Dexter staged his own death and threw an extravagant funeral at home. When he saw his wife happy, he left his coffin and went to speak with her. He started to wander around the funeral and say hello to everyone until the attendees noticed he was still alive. He gave himself the title of Lord and told his servants to address him as such in an attempt to blend in.

In a further attempt at fame, a novel was produced. Dexter had little knowledge of the written word, but that did not stop him. “A Pickle for the Knowing Ones” was printed and handed out for free. This book was full of grammatical and spelling errors and featured no punctuation., So he wrote a second book to compensate for the mistakes of the first book, which was not free but was a huge hit. In a second edition, a full page of punctuation was printed, with Dexter instructing readers to, “peper and solt it as they plese.”He sent a full page of punctuation marks on the last page of the second edition and asked every buyer of the second edition to put this punctuation mark as per his choice.

Upon his death, his fame was stuffed away from history. Dexter was buried in a small, unlavish cemetery. As we near the 217th anniversary of his death, we should celebrate someone so eccentric. To quote the preface from his book, “We ne’er shall look upon his like again.”


इतिहास का सबसे भाग्यशाली व्यक्ति - टिमोथी

अधिकांश लोग लॉर्ड टिमोथी डेक्सटर से अनजान हैं। उनके समकालीनों ने उन्हें इतिहास से दूर रखने के लिए हर संभव प्रयास किया। डेक्सटर अनपढ़ थे और उनमें अन्य व्यवसायों के समान कई क्षमताओं का अभाव था। सौभाग्य से, इसकी भरपाई के लिए बहुत सारे भाग्य का उपयोग किया जा सका और किया गया। उनकी सफलता का पहला झटका तब आया जब उन्होंने अपनी समृद्ध पत्नी की पूरी संपत्ति का उपयोग बेकार कॉन्टिनेंटल डॉलर खरीदने के लिए किया। कुछ पागलों की गलती से, संविधान की मंजूरी में एक खंड शामिल था जिसमें 1% के अंकित मूल्य पर कॉन्टिनेंटल डॉलर के सम्मान की आवश्यकता थी। एक महत्वपूर्ण मात्रा प्राप्त करने के बाद

इस बात पर ज़ोर देना ज़रूरी है कि डेक्सटर अमीर कुलीन वर्ग में शामिल होने के अलावा और कुछ नहीं चाहता था। यह उल्लेख करना और भी महत्वपूर्ण है कि उसके धनी पड़ोसियों को उससे बहुत नापसंद थी और वे उसे भयानक व्यापारिक सलाह देते थे।

वेस्ट इंडीज की साल भर की गर्मी से अनजान, डेक्सटर ने अपने पड़ोसियों की सिफारिश पर 40,000 से अधिक बेड वार्मिंग पैन खरीदे और उन्हें वहां भेज दिया। एक बार वेस्ट इंडीज में, उन्हें अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ और भाग्य एक बार फिर उनके साथ था। उन्होंने एक बार फिर पैसा कमाया जब चीनी बागानों के मालिकों ने गुड़ के बर्तनों को हिलाने के लिए बर्तन खरीदे। तभी एक पड़ोसी ने उन्हें बताया कि न्यूकैसल को कोयले की जरूरत है। डेक्सटर ने न्यूकैसल में विशाल कोयला खदान के बारे में जाने बिना एक शिपमेंट भेज दिया। किसी चमत्कार से, कोयला खदान में हड़ताल हो गई, जिससे उसे महत्वपूर्ण लाभ के लिए बेचने की अनुमति मिल गई।यहां आपको यह समझना होगा कि न्यूकैसल हर जगह कोयला भेजता है; यह पहली बार था जब न्यूकैसल के लोगों ने टिमोथी या किसी बाहरी व्यक्ति से कोयला खरीदा था। वाक्यांश “कोयला से न्यूकैसल” की उत्पत्ति इसी प्रकरण से हुई है।

उनकी समृद्धि के साथ विचित्रताओं की प्रचुरता भी थी। उनका आँगन विशाल मूर्तियों से भरा हुआ था, जिनमें स्वयं सहित विभिन्न प्रकार के चरित्रों को चित्रित किया गया था। आख़िरकार, ध्यान आकर्षित करने की बेताब कोशिश में, डेक्सटर ने अपनी मौत का नाटक रचा और घर पर एक भव्य अंतिम संस्कार किया। जब उसने अपनी पत्नी को खुश देखा तो अपना ताबूत छोड़कर उससे बात करने चला गया। वह अंतिम संस्कार के आसपास घूमने लगा और सभी को नमस्ते कहने लगा जब तक कि उपस्थित लोगों ने देखा कि वह अभी भी जीवित था। उन्होंने खुद को भगवान की उपाधि दी और अपने सेवकों से कहा कि वे घुलने-मिलने की कोशिश में उन्हें इसी नाम से संबोधित करें।

प्रसिद्धि पाने के एक और प्रयास में, एक उपन्यास का निर्माण किया गया। डेक्सटर को लिखित शब्द का बहुत कम ज्ञान था, लेकिन इससे वह रुका नहीं। “जानने वालों के लिए एक अचार” मुद्रित किया गया और मुफ्त में वितरित किया गया। यह पुस्तक व्याकरणिक और वर्तनी संबंधी त्रुटियों से भरी थी और इसमें कोई विराम चिह्न नहीं था।

इसलिए उन्होंने पहली किताब की गलतियों की भरपाई के लिए दूसरी किताब लिखी, जो मुफ़्त नहीं थी लेकिन बहुत हिट रही। दूसरे संस्करण में, विराम चिह्नों का एक पूरा पृष्ठ मुद्रित किया गया था, जिसमें डेक्सटर ने पाठकों को निर्देश दिया था, “अपनी इच्छानुसार इसे काली मिर्च और नमक डालें।”उन्होंने दूसरे संस्करण के अंतिम पृष्ठ पर विराम चिह्नों का एक पूरा पृष्ठ भेजा और दूसरे संस्करण के प्रत्येक खरीदार से अपनी पसंद के अनुसार यह विराम चिह्न लगाने को कहा।

उनकी मृत्यु के बाद, उनकी प्रसिद्धि इतिहास से दूर कर दी गई। डेक्सटर को एक छोटे, भव्य कब्रिस्तान में दफनाया गया था। जैसा कि हम उनकी मृत्यु की 217वीं वर्षगांठ के करीब हैं, हमें ऐसे सनकी व्यक्ति का जश्न मनाना चाहिए। उनकी पुस्तक की प्रस्तावना को उद्धृत करने के लिए, “हम उनके जैसा दोबारा कभी नहीं देखेंगे।”
