Nikola Tesla was without a doubt one of the smartest persons to have ever existed. The reason why I wanted to talk about him this time was cause of my fascination with physics. Even though I know so little about this science, I hope some day to become a physicist.
Back to Tesla´s biography: This Croatian electrical engineer naturalized American at 21, blazed a trail in the branch of alternative current. Tesla was an eccentric man with cross-current beliefs; possessor of a nimble mind capable to learn up to five languages at an early age.
He also worked with Thomas Edison for some time, but collided with him in certain matters. He didn't want to entrench his ideas in society. His sole purpose was to build tools that would be useful for his community and that would also change its inhabitants lives. Most of his inventions helped create powerful and successful industries that remain that way until this day. Other scientists looked at him with animosity, he carried on regardless. One of his greatest inventions was the AC generator, capable of providing energy throughout large areas.
To sum up, I´d say that I relate to him somehow. You see, he was said to lack social skills. I kind of do too. Anyhow, hope to someday become as motivated in my work as he was in his. Of course one thing I don´t wan to have in common with him is that: I do not want to end up living on stipend like he did.
