I was searching for a book that gives me the ''Juggernaut Force'' at bad times, a meaning to Life and the fact that whatever the circumstances maybe in Life it cannot hinder the goal.
The Usual set of ''Positive Thinking'' books were lying around with cool steps to get you started, but no, they were all infected with crazy and imaginative stories of fictious people in the world who have made a comeback.
But there was this little book lying in the corner untouched by today's jilted generation.
The description read ''The Life of mathematical Genius and Nobel Laureate John Nash''. It immediately caught my attention. Nobel Prize is not for people who invent by fluke, not given for people who have lived comfortable and happy lives but to those who even after the setbacks and hardships, come up in LIFE with the one goal in their mind, with Dogged determination, that they have to contribute something useful to mankind.
Thus begins the story of the eccentric genius who even after affected by Schizophrenia, does not give up.
A Beautiful Mind also elaborates the Life of John Nash, his childhood, in Princeton, in Harvard, his stint in research and development company, his findings and theorems and his brief encounters with John Von Neumann, Einstein and other great scientists of the 20th century.
The book takes you to another world of intellectual satisfaction and an emotional trip of his life.
