Book Review - Nikola Tesla , Imagination and the man that invented the 20TH century by Sean Patrick

-
The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine. ~Nikola Tesla
If you want to know the drive of passion, then this is the book for you. Mr. Nikola Tesla neither cared about his powerful foes or meek friends. He did not care about the betrayal. He did not care about the negative media marketing for his inventions. All he cared about was his passion. 

The author beautifully explains the '10,000 hours' rules given by Swedish psychologist Dr. K Andrews. 
A total engrossed and a practicing mind is required for the activity you want to excel in. That can only come from true love and passion for the activity. The perfect blend of opportunities and practice gives the perfect taste of success. 

This book gives a measured glimpse of Tesla's life. The waves of fame and defamation could not suppress his thrill of innovation. 
His fervent ways to see the world differently through his powerful imagination. Sooner or later, when a person becomes famous, he gets moved by the title he receives from the public. But, be it the title 'wizard of the west' or 'the mad scientist' could not obstruct his imagination. He continued to work towards his intense will to make the world a better place by his innovations and selfless acts.

I think he was born way ahead of time. When the world was still figuring out to digest the 'wires' he was working on 'wireless'. He laid a strong foundation for many scientific revolutions.

He was a hardworking man of strong ethics who was blessed with an extraordinary imagination. He was a pioneer, but, was not as popular as his fellow scientists.

Enjoy some of his quotes :



For more information on him, please visit these links:

A variety of movies and documentaries have been made over the years on his life. I am planning to watch all of them , starting with this one https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0272884/ (Tesla: Master of lightning).

He had also written a lot of books, you can google them. Easily available. For his book review, stay tuned with me. :-)

Princess- A saga of Euphoria

Whenever I watch a Disney Princess Movie, my mood gets uplifted and my whole body fills with ecstasy, courage and tranquility.  There is something to them , something more than their aura,beauty and thoughtfulness. Something which makes them so popular and idiosyncratic. So, what makes them so unique? Is it luxury and status they are bestowed upon with since their birth? Is it the beauty they are gifted by Gods?  There is more which outdo their unconventional beauty and unshivering reputation. Some time back, I came across a game which in its result tells which princess you are? We feel quite merry when the outcome of the game matches with our favorite princess. The popularity of the game is the affirmation of our likeness towards the momentary sensation of a real princess. On closely observing the Disney princesses, I am assured that they all share some similarities in their character. Most important to me is that they stand for themselves even in the bleakest...

Some time back, I brought Horlicks for my son, and with it came a free pack of "Avengers Infinity Wars- Super Hero cards'. I and my son loved playing the cards game. The cards looked like this: (Src: https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelstudios/comments/b6ijhm/my_infinity_war_not_so_limited_edition_trading/ ) Each playing card has certain characteristics. They are (in order): Height, Intelligence, Strength, Speed, Super-Power. A number was assigned in front of each attribute on each card.  Let us take a close look at one of the cards: This card game made my lockdown life a little easier as I could keep my child engaged for about an hour in a day. Thank you,  Horlicks  for rolling out these cards as without even watching any movie my child became an Avengers fan. Although this game is fun to play with,  it has made my child believe that Thanos is unbeatable . Here is the card: This is how  mind tricks  are played on the public by successful advertisers. The method...
