Nikola Tesla Books

Books written by or about Nikola Tesla

Therefore, Tesla had to learn in foreign languages.

Nikola Tesla initially struggled with his studies because he did not enjoy learning school subjects. He particularly disliked drawing, which was considered the most important subject. As a result, young Nikola barely progressed from one grade to another. This will surely bring joy to, and comfort to some extent, those students who do not like to study. However, let them not console themselves with this because Nikola was not lazy, nor did he hate books. On the contrary, he was very industrious and loved to read, but he read different books, not those taught in school. Later, however, when he realized that school provides essential knowledge, he began diligently studying school subjects. Soon, he became the top student, leaving all his peers far behind at the Great School and astonishing professors with his great diligence and knowledge.

School, children, provides the foundation for comprehensive knowledge.
