We all know that Nikola Tesla is an inventor. He is the driving force and responsible for alternating current, induction motor, rotating magnetic field and many more path-breaking discoveries. Born in modern day Croatia, in 1856, Tesla was a disciple of mechanical and electrical engineering. Coming over to his personal life, Tesla worked for fixed hours everyday, from 9:00 a.m. in the morning to 6:00 p.m. in the evening. He even had dinner at a fixed time, at 8.10 pm. Moreover, you will be surprised to discover that Tesla was a bachelor forever and regarded his chastity to be helpful in his scientific discoveries.
