Madness is a Dream you can Awake!
This mathematical genius and intuitive and perhaps too competitive was born in Bluefield Sanatorium ,Virginia on June 13, 1928.
When he was young he had different tastes; he used to play very little, he loved reading, which was unusual for his age. At the same time he always felt self-sufficient (in an interview he said that he didn’t go to class because the classes could interrupt his mind, his thoughts and originality)
At age of 12 he made his own experiments always related to the numbers, calculations and innovative formulations
Finally he earned his doctorate in mathematics by 1950 at age of 21 with a thesis of less than 30 sheets about “Non-Cooperative Games” with this text he was awarded five decades after whit the Nobel Prize for Economics
In 1958 he falls into the well of paranoid schizophrenia, one of the most terrible mental illnesses that are known, but he overcomes after 25 years of madness ...
Elements with life as J.Nash make possible do a book and a movie
Jhon Nash with all his eccentricity makes me think that maybe we should have that self-sufficiency and specially faith in our own intellectual capacity.
He makes me see that achievement does not depend on the results it’s depend on the effort and passion that we put it, in his case he got the Nobel Prize that was not instantaneous spent many years before he got it, he always tried something different ,something new,…. Whit his example I can say that failure is not always negative maybe is just an impulse to find another solution.
There are not rules to acquire knowledge or success, he shows that even in his peculiar form of behavior proud and arrogant he could get success after many failures and even was able to overcome the terrible disease of schizophrenia and their terrible treatment by his genius all these failures could not be away from his passion which was to research and develop something new, not only for his ego also to contribute to society.
John Nash was a true example of life not only for winning the Nobel Prize in economics with his thesis on "non-cooperative games, if not hardly to deal with schizophrenia, a mental disorder that makes him to imagine people and situations that don’t exist; affecting his life to the point that he is not able to distinguish between the real and imaginary things. Reading his biography you can see that with much effort can deal with any adversity, including those that seem impossible to overcome as the esquizofrenia and that not only medication and treatment are needed, also need dedication, tolerance and over all things you need a great willpower to reach whatever you want. GREAT JOHN NASH!
ReplyDeletegood job and good film. (Roger)
ReplyDeleteI think, this boy is very smart for his age, but he will be going the most big professor. Only he need more self critical.
