Maybe the most cheated inventor in U.S. history. Originally interning for a famous inventor he developed many inventions such as the light bulb, alternating current, and the Tesla Coil. His teacher, the famous Thomas Edison then patented Tesla's inventions as his own. Tesla was actually willing to forgive this, just for the right to at least have partial credit, but he was then sued into oblivion and put to shame in the scientific community. Only recently has evidence against Edison come to light, proving him of stealing not only Tesla's inventions but many other inventor's work."I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventors as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success… such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything."
Tesla's quote shows his dedication to his work, his desire to succeed and create. His drive is inspirational, he revolutionized the world just because he had a passion for inventing. I hope to feel this intensely about my dream one day, to be able to give everything I have for my dream. To be so committed I forget about food and sleep for it.
