Issac Asimov Accomplishments

Imagine a person trying to start a business. This person has some experience with the sort, but doesn’t have any help to jumpstart it. No financial help, no wealthy friends, no parents to back him up. Can he do it? The answer is no, he can’t, and unfortunately this is the case with everyone. It doesn’t matter who the person is, a famous rockstar or the president, they did not get to their position without help. Many big name celebrities and influential people supposedly got their start on their own, but everyone receives help on their way to making it big.

When Isaac Asimov was trying to figure out what being smart is in a matter of speaking, while in the military, he got the smidgen of an IQ exam that every soldier had to take and, above the normal of 100, he was at 160. The other soldiers at the base never knew anyone that was around that number, and for 2 hours they had a huge argument over it. (It wasn't understandable. The following day he was a young private with having the responsibility to make sure the kitchen was clean, the highest duty. called Kitchen Police)

A famous quote from Oskar Schindler states, “If you saw a dog getting crushed under a car, wouldn’t you help him”? Oskar Schindler was an industrialist who was a figure of hope and optimism for the Jewish people during the horrific and appalling acts of the Germans. Many people contemplate if he was a savior or a sinner because of his involvements in the Nazi party. His works manifested the world and we think he was a savior and not a sinner. His profound works exemplify what it means to help people even in a time of despair, and hatred that embodied the world. The enormity of his works shows how one man can make an everlasting difference in our society. His profound career has had many impediments and successes along the way and he is widely

Many issues can influence the development of an author’s novel. Maybe the author wants to focus on historical matters, and place historical references into their novel. Maybe social concerns are the topic in their novel. Or maybe the author intends for their novel to be a political work. Regardless of what sort of influence they consider placing into their novel, all authors do tend to allow one thing to influence their writing, their own personalities and personal knowledge. Creating a novel comes from within an author’s personality and experiences and naturally forms their story. Biographical influence is noticeable in the character of Ed as in Markus Zusak’s I Am the Messenger.

Everyone in this world is familiar with the saying ‘Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life’. The saying means that people are usually waiting for happiness in their lives, but the truth is that in order to achieve happiness, they just have to do what they love and just by living the life as they desire. People are always on their try to achieve happiness but it can be really hard to attain just a little taste of happiness. In Aldous Huxley’s political satire Brave New World, people are dependent on science and technology from the day they are born. The society seems to be living under the misconception of a utopia where everyone is equally controlled and stability is maintained. The development in science and technology has provided the society almost everything they need with the exception of a really crucial aspect of life that is a true sense of happiness.

Sir Isaac Newton once wrote “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” And autobiographies and biographies indeed allows us to look further down the path through the life experiences that great people have achieved. They tell us of the lives of real people, real events and real experiences which have occurred in history. Stories that reflected incidents that were salient in one’s life, recounting their progress through the path towards possibly achieving something significant in human history. This teaches us, with a realistic approach, of the opportunities and challenges one has faced to reach where they are today. [Greeting] Helen Keller’s The Story of my Life and Frank McCourt’s Angela’s Ashes are prime examples

There are numerous minds that came before us. They changed the way we think and live our daily lives. One of them was Nikola Tesla, a legendary man who was a visionary, inventor, and lastly a talented engineer. He’s accolades has changed the world and made it a better place.

For example, many individuals “don’t know that Thoreau wrote seven drafts of Walden, or that Hemingway rewrote the last page of Farewell to Arms some thirty-five times” (Carter, 82). In addition to Thoreau and Hemingway, author George Orwell, took three years before successfully writing his book and five years before publishing it. In between these times there was even talk about calling the book The Last Man in Europe instead of 1984. In conclusion, “As wonderful as it may be to imagine that an academic or scientific article can reach a state of perfection when first written, this is highly unusual, and very few published authors consider their work perfect even after it has been carefully reviewed by them as well as their colleagues, proofreaders and editors, and appropriate revisions have been completed”

There have been many scientists throughout time that have made an enormous impact on the world such as Newton, Aristotle, Galileo, Einstein, and Nikola Tesla. These are just a few of the brightest minds ever to exist. Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1854 in Smiljan, Croatia, and spent his childhood there. His mother was the person that first got him interested in science because she invented small household tools in her spare time. Tesla’s father was a priest and did not approve of his passion for science as much as his mother did.

The desire for knowledge and intellectual growth is autochthonous to human experience. Although this yearning for knowledge may be a driving force for the improvement of humanity, excessive ambition can sometimes lead to suffering. In Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein’s moral ambiguity rests on his human desire to gain knowledge but also on his lack of moral responsibility and eventual abandonment of his creature, revealing that excessive pride and irresponsibility can consequently lead to suffering.

At CES, one of the biggest electronic showcases, Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, and Walt Disney gave speeches over their respective fields. Steve Jobs opened the show with the new IPhone and the ICar, which was a big hit. Einstein then followed up with his new time travel machine that he used to get himself and Thomas Edison to the showcase. Edison introduced the new lightsaber by containing plasma in an electromagnetic field. Finally Disney showed off his newest film with 20k quality. After the showcase the four went to a bar in Las Vegas. Einstein and Edison saw many things that were frowned upon during their time, however the four had a good time. Each one shared their achievements, trying to outdo the others, yet no one could agree which

"A man never is happy, but spends his whole life in striving after something which he thinks will make him so; he seldom attains his goal, and when he does, it is only to be disappointed; he is mostly shipwrecked in the end, and comes into harbor with mast and rigging gone" (returnofthekings.com). This quote by Arthur Schopenhauer means that a person cannot find happiness when they desire something they think will make them happy. Once they are able to achieve their goal, they are left in disappointment when their necessities vanish. This relates to Fahrenheit 451 and Arthur Schopenhauer's philosophy about desire being a cause of unhappiness. Schopenhauer's philosophy relates to the desire for happiness in Ray Bradbury's novel, Fahrenheit 451. The characters in this novel are unhappy because they desire answers, books and desire to escape reality. Arthur believed that "desire never ends" (www.famouspeople.com). "[He] saw desire as the root of suffering and pain" (www.biography.com) the characters in the novel demonstrate just that.

“Do not walk behind me; I may not lead. Do not walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend” - Albert Camus (Simpson). Albert Camus was an interesting intellectual during the 1940s and ‘50s. He was more than just a writer; he was a top class individual that lived life to the fullest, even though it was short lived for him. “In 1960 car accident and died January 4th” (Rhein). At the time of Camus’ death, he was only 46.

Overall he was way more than a writer, he was a highly

But for the next generations to criticize it and make it better and make their own writing use what they learned off of your writings. So Fitzgerald when writing The Great Gatsby was writing for his own generation but his book would go on to be a great learning stone for future writers.

People believe they can only find happiness through enhancing their own life, but instead they will only find misery. Ever since Victor was a child, he studied the sciences with an ardour. He believed if he studied enough, he would break through and discover something the world had never seen before. This achievement would bring him happiness through the attention of others.
