RE: Candles in the Dark: The Making of a Genius - A Short-Classic

in #story8 years ago

I like Tesla's life because it shows that he persued his interests. Which sometimes made him money and other times did not....overall his success is shown to be in terms of what he contributed to modern day understandings of the inventions he was trying to get off the ground and not in any financial sense of the word "Success."

Sort:  

well, yes. sadly, he's the antithesis of Edison. but Tesla was a mad scientist. he devoted his entire life to work, which may be great or not. I guess from his perspective it was great. he didnt care too much of patenting his inventions or making money. I assume if he would have devoted the minimum of attention to those pursuits he would have been one of the richest man of all times...
