Nicola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor,electrical engineer and futurist, best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electricity supply system.He was born on 10th July 1856 at Smiljan Croatia and died on 7th January 1943 at the New Yorker Hotel, New York,United States.                                                                                                               Tesla's Lessons

Nicola Tesla is a unique personality at his own time and he gives a very impressive lessons to humankind which are as follows:-.                                                                                                                 1) Believe:-Throughout his career,Tesla challenged  established scientific wisdom and because of his creative and independent thinking he was able  to create  technologies that others  thought impossible,only Tesla had the grit to challenge the most famous inventor of his time(and his employer).Thomas Edison,arguing for the use of his AC electricity delivery system in place of the DC system championed by Edison,only Tesla had the vision and inventiveness to harness Niagara Falls into powering a city.Even when Tesla's financers doubted him he  stuck to his guns and ended up proving everyone wrong.Remember Tesla when you're being told that it can't be done when you know it can.                                                                                                                                                               2)Quit:-When Tesla first went to work for Edison as a new immigrant to the United States.Edison promised him $50,000 if he could improve the running of his direct current electrical plants.When Tesla succeeded, Edison laughed and said that Tesla didn't understand American humour,offering him a meager salary bump instead.Tesla promptly quit.His inventions for his own company and for other industry giants such as Westing house cost.Edison a fortune in time and money.In fact shortly before his death, Edison admitted that his greatest mistake in life was not adopting Tesla's AC system earlier Remember Tesla when you are truly not being valued  for your contributions,or when promises by stakeholders or clients are not being kept.Quitting a job can be very scary,but there are times when you've go to do it.                                                                                                                                                                           3)Find the critical path:-Edison famously declared that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration,Tesla disagreed.Upon Edison's death,Tesla was quoted in the New York  Times as saying"His method was inefficient in the extreme...just  a little theory and calculation would  have saved him 90% of the labor".Tesla believed that a method of invention that involved careful planning and application of knowledge to problems before implementation was superior to Edison's trial and error approach.Remember Tesla when you are being urged to development before the critical path is clear to you.Remember Tesla  when trial and error is being held  up as the great savior of slow technology implementation.Remember Tesla and have the courage to figure things out before pushing ahead prematurely.                                                                                                                                           4) Don't Be Like Nikola Tesla:-As much as I admire Tesla's brilliance,courage and accomplishments,it seems to me that his greatest lesson for the 21st century IT professional is the quiet warning his life offers when viewed as a whole and not just in the  confines of his work.To be sure,Nikola Tesla is one of the most important inventors in history,his funeral was attended by heads of state- he even has an  automotive company and a planet named after him.But he also died in poverty,alone and living in a hotel,the victim of his poor career decisions.Tesla famously tore up his contract with Westinghouse for the generous royalties he was owed on the Niagara Falls Power Project mentioned above,all because he was gratified  that Westinghouse believed in his idea when no one else did and he wanted the budget-stricken project to succeed.Dispute with J.P Morgan brought an end  to his near open- minded financing from the banker who like all stakeholders ,needed proper management and attention.He never married or had children,believing  in a personal life would distract him from his calling as an inventor.He had an history of losing patents for his inventions, including (at least for a time)losing the patent for the invention of radio to Marconi .And Edison and Marconi often get more credit for Tesla's discoveries he does.
