Virtues and Failings (Nicola Tes

Today's quote is taken from a revolutionary Serbian-American inventor Nicola Tesla who is one of the most prolific and revolutionary inventors in American history. He was brilliant but he was also tortured. Throughout his life, he was plagued by nervous breakdowns. And it was sometimes in these difficult moments that he discovered the seeds of his greatest inventions. Rather than seeing himself as flawed, Tesla understood that these challenges were inextricably linked to his talents. This dichotomy is true for all of us.

People who are brave might be more inclined to rush in the situation without thinking, while people who are especially generous may find themselves being taken advantage of. The qualities that make us who we are can be virtues in one scenario and flaws in another. Our greatest setbacks and disappointments can open us up to new ideas, perspectives and creations that can change the world. It is only by accepting ourselves that we unlock our true potential. And if we have the courage to embrace the things that make us special, we might find that we have the power to change the world.
