http://www.astrotheme.com/astrology/Nikola_Tesla Nikola Tesla is one of the most important scientists world ever had - He was contraversial while alive and even now years after his death.
He was Born in Smiljane village - then Austro Hungarian empire,to Serbian Ortodox Preist Father Milutin and mother Georgina.
He got his name after both of his grandfathers.
He was Ortodox Chiristian, and he waged between becoming a preist (like his father) or electrical engeneer
He run away when he was drafted to become Austro Hungarian soldier - in his isolation days he "connected" with nature
He was an excelent student at the begining - never missed a single lecture,passed twice as required exams
He started Serbian culture club
During his third year Tesla gambled his allowance and tutition money ,later he returned same money by gamble again and returned money to his family - he said "He conquered [his] passion then
and there "
Later was known for playing billiard.
Tesla did not graduete from that university because he was late with exams - due to previous problems with gambeling
After he droped university Tesla did not go back home - so his family would not find out. His friends tought that he was dead. He went to live and work in Maribor (Slovenia) ,he worked as draftsman. He was often playing cards on the streets with local men.
His father begged him to return home,but Tesla refused. At around that time Tesla had a nervous brakedown.
Police eventualy brought him home because he didnt have residence permit.
In period when his father died Tesla worked as a teacher in local school.
Two of his uncles raised money so he could go to study in Prauge. He eventually only attended classes there as auditor and not a student.
Tesla then moved to Budapest where he later worked in Telegraph company.
The rest is a history- Tesla registered more than 300 patents and
became famous for developing AC (alternating
current), while his work became the basis of
developments in wireless communications,
radar, laser X rays, lighting, robotics, and
many other areas.
Now about his personality and life
Nikola Tesla was born approximately at
midnight, between July 9 and July 10, 1856,
during a lightning storm. During Tesla birth,
and according to the story told by his family,
the midwife wrung her hands and declared the
lightning a bad omen. “This child will be a
child of darkness”, she reportedly said, to
which Tesla’s mother replied: “No. He will be a
child of light.”
Most people have no idea that Tesla had an
extraordinary sense of humor, Seifer said. For
example, after dining with writer and poet
Rudyard Kipling, he wrote this in a
correspondence to a close friend:
April 1, 1901
My dear Mrs. Johnson,
What is the matter with inkspiller Kipling? He
actually dared to invite me to dine in an
obscure hotel where I would be sure to get
hair and cockroaches in the soup.
Yours truly,
N. Tesla
As Alcorn said, Tesla was “ worried about the
fact that people consume the Earth’s resources
too fast, so he wanted to make sure that these
resources were renewable “. Thus he studied
the ways to gather the natural energy from the
ground and air. He created artificial lightning
in his lab and detected differences
in electrical potential on Earth and on
high objects.
In addition to being an environmentalist, the
famous inventor was also a
humanist. According to Alcorn, “ he did what
he did for the sake of the betterment of
mankind and wanted to give people an
opportunity to have a better quality of life.
Thus, he never seemed to care about monetary
gain and never had enough money for his
research. ”
Although he had famous friends such as Mark
Twain and French actress Sarah Bernhardt, he
was never a wealthy man, unlike Edison and
Westinghouse who proved much more
successful entrepreneurs.
He was an accomplished pool player who liked
to hustle, even for tiny amounts of money. At
the height of his fame, when he was dining at
Delmonico’s every night, he regularly bilked
players out of a few quarters each—about $15
in today’s money.
He claimed that he needed only two hours of
sleep a night, although he occasionally took an
afternoon nap. Tesla hated round objects and
jewelry, and could not bear to touch hair. Also
he was obsessed with the number 3 and had a
habit of polishing each point of the dining
room before dining, using precisely 18
napkins.
Tesla could not stand the sight of pearls, to
the extent that he refused to speak to women
wearing them. When his secretary wore pearl
jewelry, he sent her home for the day. No one
knows why he had such an aversion, but Tesla
had a very particular sense of style and
aesthetics, Carlson said, and believed that in
order to be successful, one needed to look
successful. He wore white gloves to dinner
every night and prided himself on being a
“dapper dresser.”
Every photograph of Tesla, he said, is very
carefully constructed to capture his “good
side.”
Tesla had what’s known as a photographic
memory. He was known to memorize books
and images and stockpile visions for inventions
in his head. He also had a powerful
imagination and the ability to visualize in three
dimensions, which he reportedly used to
control the terrifying vivid nightmares from
which he suffered from as a child. It’s in part
what makes him such a mystical and eccentric
character in popular culture, Carlson said. He
was also known for having excessive hygiene
habits, born out of a near-fatal bout of
cholera as a teenager.
Tesla never married. Didnt like behaviour of wwomen around him
"In place of the soft voiced, gentle
woman of my reverent worship," says Mr.
Tesla, "has come the woman who thinks that
her chief success in life lies in making herself
as much as possible like man--in dress, voice
and actions, in sports and achievements of
every kind"
