I am a big fan of Albert Einstein .He was born on 14th March. And he inspired me a lot. And A.P.J Abdul kalam he seems like my goal. Because he a inspirational missile for me. He inspired me a lot that started believing myself. And next Thomas Alva Edition, he is just the perfect example of “everything is possible, if you tried a lot” and the “failure is the key of success ” .He give me a knowledge about the hope. They are the three legends for me. Great Respect and love to them. l

Hello. My name is prasant sahu and i admire nikola tesla as my favourite and most inspiring scientist , who saw this world with an alternative and unique perspective. According to many researches it was found that he was planning to create wireless energy that had infinite power and could provide free enery to aĺl the people. He was simply great.
When ALBERT EINSTEIN was asked “Sir, how do you feel to be the smartest personof the world?”
He replied “you should have asked this to NIKOLA TESLA.
This proves even greatest of greatest scientists admire him.
Thank you for reading ??
