Personality I Adore

The name, Isaac Newton, reminds atleast to everyone who has has received education till 10th class of a person who observed that an apple always fall to earth because of Gravitational Force exerted by Earth. A principle so prevalent and yet it took so many years for humans to find it.

Sir, Isaac Newton born and brought up in England was not a genius since his childhood, nor was he some introvert sort of gentleman who sits alone on the backbenches thinking something else while the remaining one thought of something else in the class. He was an ordinary child, an average student. In fact, he started following his interests only by the time he was 23 years old. His areas of interests were as vivid as Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy and Politics to some extent. The subjects mentioned did not come naturally to him. In fact, it was his interest that he followed blindly. Though, his mother wanted him to look after the family wealth and business and other family affairs he went ahead with his interests and continued higher education blindly. The thing that was remarkable about Isaac Newton was his observant nature. He used to observe every aspect of nature and things happening around him.

He started learning Physics and soon was fascinated by Mathematics. In fact the work of Isaac Newton explains the close proximity these two subjects share. Newton was so fond of Physics that he used to study more of Mathematics so that he can understand what the best literature on both the subjects available at that time explained. By the age of 25, he was well known personality at Cambridge. The man, the dedication for interests the devotion for subjects were the things that brought Newton to the platform of Best Minds in Science at that time. And while the rest of the best minds were atleast around 45 years old, this gentleman had not even reached his thirties.

Newton's interest in Astronomy began a little bit late, as he had been a physics and a mathematics scholar. But the knowledge of physics and mathematics helped him to understand and formulate the various laws of Astronomy quickly. It is quite interesting to note that how the pursuit of interest in one subject leads to become a master in so many subjects, provided that interest is followed blindly.

Though Newton is one of the Best Scholars of all times, when it came to Relationships, this man was not known to be a pleasant man. He never shared any fine moments with his stepfather. In fact, his relationship with his mother was not really good. But, leaving this apart he had huge following of people while admired him, and were willing to work with him. Newton also worked with a lot many. Although, not a noticeable personality in Politics, when it came to the decisions that were going to affect the University of Cambridge, Newton at that time openly challenged the decision of the King of England. Later on, he was nominated as the Dean of Cambridge.

He was also a firm believer of his thoughts and the things he did. Many a times, as it happens in all the aspects of life, people contradict. It happened to Newton also. While formulating the various principles in the subjects of his interest, other noticeable personalities in the field use to contradict what Newton had to say. But Newton did not deny them, nor ever he tried to prove them wrong. He at that time quietly drew back. Later on, much to the amusement of all the geniuses, most of the times it became apparent why Newton quietly drew back when it came to contradict some one else. In fact, Newton's ideas take a lot much time to understand, and when those who said that Newton's ideas were not applicable, found that what Newton had to say was nothing but the very Fundamentals of the subject concerned.

Newton died in England. But the message what this man left is that if you follow your interests and do what you want to do you surely can overcome not only what others expect of you, but even your own expectations. Today this aspect is lacking, but those inspired by this tiny article may think over.
