The Incredible Life Of Nikola Tesla - Life Lessons From The Man who Invented the 20th Century
Motivational video dedicated to Nikola Tesla - The genius who lit the world.
Nikola Tesla was a gifted kid. He had a photographic memory. He could remember images and entire books in detail. He loved reading books, writing poetry and was very creative and had powerful imagination. From a very early age He could also do without any problem very complicated calculations in his head.
In The Technical University of Graz he fell in love with electricity and became thirsty for knowledge about this mysterious and wonderful force. He was passionate and one of the best students. Tesla never missed a single lecture and passed all of his exams. But when his father passed away, his life fell apart. He stopped focusing and putting effort in his education and focused on gambling. Unfortunately he lost a lot of money, including his tuition fee, which led him to drop out of college and never graduate.
He was hired by Thomas Edison to make improvements on his DC motor. And Tesla worked day and night for several months. The funny thing is, Edison promised Tesla that if he succeed, he will pay him $50,000 . Maybe Edison underestimated him, thinking he gave him an impossible job. So he was quite surprised and impressed When Tesla successfully completed the tasks. But sadly Edison never paid him the $50,000 he had promised. When Tesla confronted him about it, Edison told him that he was just joking:
"Tesla, you don't understand our American humor."
Shocked and disappointed Nikola Tesla quit his job and never looked back.
"I don't care that they stole my idea...I care that they don't have any of their own"
Luckily he received funding for his new Company. He designed the AC electric system and successfully filed for patents that were later bought by George Westinghouse for $60,000 and stocks in his Corporation.
So Even though Tesla and Edison were rivals for years, because of AC's greater efficiency, Edison lost, and Tesla helped bring electricity to the United States.
"Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine." - Nikola Tesla
