"I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is a real factor in scientific research."
- A. Einstein

Life Lessons from Nikola Tesla (1856 - 1943):

• Genius requires solitude.
• Our mind is only the receiver. We need to tune it with the universe.
• When someone says it can't be done, do it anyways.
• Money does not represent such a value as people have placed upon it.
