Nothing inspires us more than some wise words. The pages of history are written with the words of our great thinkers, scientists and innovators. Their words have the power to encourage us in the face of adversity, and to reach our wildest dreams.
Here are just some of our favourite thinkers and innovators that we can all learn something from. Perhaps most important is that we should all believe in the power of our own ideas. And with the Galaxy S10+, you can do just that. It’s very handy for capturing those lightbulb moments, wherever you might be.
Nikola Tesla
“I don’t care that they stole my idea…I care that they don’t have any of their own.” – Nikola Tesla.
One of the greatest inventors of all time, Serbian-American engineer and physicist Nikola Tesla (1856 – 1943) is well known for inventing the alternating current (AC) motor and developing AC generation and transmission technology. While he was famous and respected, he couldn’t quite translate his inventions into long-term financial successes. He never cared much for money though, and his highest hope was to give the world free electricity. Tesla taught us that anything is possible when you try hard enough, and his legacy lights the world to this day. Follow in Tesla’s footsteps and become the inventor of your dreams.
Henry Ford
“It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.” – Henry Ford.
An iconic American industrialist, Henry Ford (1863 – 1947) founded the Ford Motor Company and invented the Ford Model T car. He built his first gasoline-powered horseless carriage in the shed behind his home while working as an engineer for the Edison Illuminating Company in Detroit. By 1903, he developed the assembly line of production with the Ford Motor Company, making a huge impact on the industrial world. Henry Ford taught us that you can achieve anything as long as you use your resources wisely.
Marie Curie
“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.” – Marie Curie.
Polish-born physicist and chemist Marie Curie (1867 – 1934) conducted pioneering research in radioactivity – a term she actually coined. Marie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first and only woman to win twice, and the only woman to win in two different categories – physics and chemistry. Living in an era where academic opportunities for women were limited, Marie Curie defied the greatest odds to become the first female professor at the University of Paris. It’s no wonder then, that she’s often referred to as the most influential woman in science.
Albert Einstein
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” – Albert Einstein.
German-born physicist Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) was the most influential physicist of the 20th century, and perhaps the most famous scientist to have ever lived. He was only 26 when, in 1905, he published four scientific papers that electrified the field of physics. He went on to win worldwide fame for his general theory of relativity and was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1921 for his work in quantum theory. Then there’s his famous equation, E = mc², which asserted that matter could be turned into energy. For all his intellect, Einstein’s wisdom extended far beyond the world of science, revealing a man with a sincere love of humanity.
