Time is a harmful and elusive thing. It always oozes through your fingers and flows away to no one knows where. What to do if all your life you wanted to write symphonies better than Mozart's, and you have two children, a wife, a mother, and a burning project in addition to everything?

We are in website We are also extremely concerned about this problem: we want to realize ourselves in life and not choke on a bone. Not to give up and do great things, we are helped by examples of famous people who certainly had enough 24 hours a day.

Leonardo da Vinci

The famous “universal man” will head our list. Recall that Leonardo is an outstanding Renaissance artist (does everyone remember Gioconda?), an inventor (all his inventions formed the basis for the construction of modern submarines), a scientist, as well as a writer and musician. And he was the first to explain why the sky is blue: "The blue of the sky is due to the thickness of the illuminated particles of air, which is located between the Earth and the blackness above." He managed all this thanks to his own developed sleep system: he slept for a total of 2 hours (lights out for 15 minutes several times a day), and in all the rest of his free time he changed the world and himself for the better.

Anton Chekhov

The brilliant brother of his brother (he had such a pseudonym). The famous master of the short story, humorist and satirist, the greatest playwright and part-time doctor. He himself admitted: “Medicine is my legal wife, and literature is my mistress. When one gets bored, I spend the night at the other. Constantly torn at the crossroads of his two talents, Chekhov was engaged in medical affairs until the end of his life. He even gave his dogs names according to the name of drugs: Bromine and Hina. But he also respected his “mistress”: over the course of his life, Chekhov created more than 300 works, including short stories and impressive dramas. And the great comedian loved to collect stamps. Here was a man!

Vladimir Nabokov

Writer and entomologist, self-taught entomologist. In honor of Vladimir Vladimirovich, more than 20 genera of butterflies are named, one of which (that's cute!) Is called Nabokovia. Nabokov also played chess very well. They made several difficult chess problems. His love for this intellectual sport was reflected in the novel "Luzhin's Defense". Recall that Nabokov was fluent in English. "Lolita" in America is loved just as much as we do.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Goethe was known not only as a great writer and poet, but also as a scientist: he made some discoveries in the field of the theory of light. In addition, he actively collected minerals - his collection includes 18,000 copies (it is clear where Faust got such a craving for alchemy). The author of the famous drama was so lucky or well done that he slept only 5 hours a day, and he had enough strength for many, many accomplishments. Perhaps this is because Goethe adhered to strict rules and was a supporter of a healthy lifestyle: he did not drink alcohol at all and could not stand the smell of tobacco smoke. That is why he lived for 82 years and managed to create so many things.

Hugh Jackman

Not only a famous actor, but also a Broadway artist, and what a one! Within one season, he managed to get all the major theater awards. Everyone knows the third area of Jackman's activity, in which he achieved success - family life. Hugh and Deborra-Lee Furness have been married for 20 years, and together they have two children. Yes, what is there! Our Hugh is generally capable of everything: he can play the piano, guitar, violin, and also ... vibrate his pupils and even juggle. Probably even Wolverine can't do that.

Salvador Dali

Everyone says that he is crazy, but they are silent about the fact that he was universal. Dali is famous not only as a painter and sculptor, but also as the director of the terrible Andalusian Dog. Dali also wrote several "works": "The Secret Life of Salvador Dali, told by himself" and "The Diary of a Genius." For the sake of his psychedelic masterpieces, the humble genius often "perverted" in terms of sleep. Let us explain: Dali hired a special servant for himself, who, seeing that the owner was starting to fall asleep in complete exhaustion, woke him up after waiting a few seconds. The disheveled Dali immediately grabbed the paper and tried to sketch what he saw in the first seconds of the superficial phase of sleep.

Mikhail Lomonosov

Russian natural scientist, chemist and physicist, poet, artist... you can hardly list everything here. Lomonosov is not just an active figure - he is revered as a reformer. It was he who carried out the reform of versification. Therefore, by memorization of iambs and choreas, we, oddly enough, are obliged to an outstanding chemist. By the way, being smart does not mean being bullied. While studying in Marburg, for example, Lomonosov perfectly mastered the ability to handle a sword. Local bullies avoided this overly capable and skillful Muscovite. That's certainly a talented person is talented in everything!

Isaac Newton

Everyone should know that he is not only famous for the apple that fell on his head. Newton wrote books on theology, where he spoke about the denial of the Holy Trinity, and was also chairman of the Royal Society of Arts. Not many people know that Newton also invented two stunningly ingenious things: a means for carrying cats and a door for them (where would we be without them now?). His love for furry and mustachioed friends is to blame for this. Newton preferred vigorous activity to sleep - he took only 4 hours a day for night rest.

Benjamin Franklin

We all know him as an uncle from the dollar and politics, but Franklin is still like our Lomonosov. He was a journalist and inventor. He invented, for example, the stove (“Pennsylvania fireplace”), and also predicted the weather. The first developed a detailed map of the Gulf Stream. He founded the Philadelphia Academy, as well as the first public library in the States. Franklin also had musical talent. Uncle Ben managed to keep up with everything by strictly following the daily regimen, in which only 4 hours a day were allotted for sleep.

Alexander Borodin

A man whose portrait hangs both in the music class and in the chemistry class. Do you know that the author of the famous opera "Prince Igor" was also a chemist and physician? He jokingly called himself a "Sunday musician": he had to sacrifice days off in order to create something of that kind for the world of music. The memory of Borodin's everyday life was left by his wife: "I could sit for ten hours in a row, I could not sleep at all, not have lunch." Still would! After all, as you know, one of Borodin's mottos was such a super-motivating phrase: "All that we do not have, we owe only to ourselves." Alexander Porfiryevich was also an active public figure - he was one of the initiators of the opening of Women's Medical Courses.

Flea (Michael Peter Balzary)

In his youth, Bulgakov worked as a zemstvo doctor, and he had to be a generalist: a general practitioner, a gynecologist, a surgeon, and a dentist. "Notes of a Young Doctor" owe their birth to that period of the young Bulgakov's life. It was difficult to combine healing and creativity, so I had to “plow” a shift, treat the unpretentious village people all day, and then also carve out time for writing ... Whatever you don’t sacrifice for the sake of art. Once, in a letter to his mother, he wrote: “At night I write“ Notes of a Zemstvo Doctor. It might turn out to be a solid thing." Bulgakov is also an example of the correct attitude towards criticism. He collected critical articles about his work, including 298 negative and 3 positive reviews from critics.

Well, do you still think that you do not have enough time?

What is history? First of all, it is time, place and, of course, people. Moreover, far from ordinary and far from simple people decided destinies and created our history, but the most brilliant, greatest, most talented people in the world! Who are they? You can list the names and talk about their talents for hours, days, probably even months, there were so many of them throughout the whole time. However, today I would like to dwell on the ten most, probably, the most famous, the most famous, those whose names most often sound on the lips of contemporaries, regardless of their citizenship, religion and level of education.

So, the most talented people on the planet ...

William Shakespeare is the greatest playwright of the Renaissance. His multi-faceted and profound plays have been translated into all major languages of the world and to this day are included in the repertoires of all world theaters more often than the works of any other authors.

Michelangelo is a brilliant Italian architect and sculptor, painter and poet, artist and thinker, the greatest figure and creator of the Renaissance. He achieved true perfection in his works during his lifetime, however, dying, he nevertheless regretted that he was leaving, only having learned to read his profession in syllables.

But aren't the most talented people in the world the architects who created such a wonder of the world as the Egyptian pyramids? Their most complex mathematical and engineering calculations, on the basis of which the pyramids were erected, are simply amazing, especially considering that construction was not their main occupation. Talented people are known to be talented in everything.

Harmonious, grandiose and majestic are the creations of the great ancient Greek sculptor and architect Phidias. It belongs to him in Olympia, later called one of the wonders of the world.

Albert Einstein - This name is often mentioned when talking about very smart and gifted people. The great theoretical physicist, Nobel Prize winner is the author of more than three hundred scientific papers, as well as one and a half hundred books on philosophy, history and journalism.

The list can be continued for a long time: Nostradamus, Socrates, Freud, Nietzsche, Lomonosov, Jesus Christ, Homer, Copernicus, Beethoven. All these truly the most talented people in the world have made an invaluable contribution to the history of the development of society, to the versatility and richness of the modern world.

The question of genius was asked a long time ago, tried in many ways, discussed many times, many paths taken, and many answers given. However, no one has answered the question about its origins, about its nature, structure, and, of course, the most exciting question: “Why him, and not me? After all, I…”

And, of course, many of the same essays and research papers were written. Take, for example, Cesare Lombroso, who argued that genius is a relative and child of insanity. He made such a conclusion based on phrenological portraits (now only psychologists or sorcerers can determine the personality, character and vices of a person, calling the rest arrogant upstarts).

However, in his work on the subject, "Genius and Madness", the conclusions do not lie on a plateau of dubious statements bordering on mysticism or prejudices like "signs above the head" ...

What is genius?

So what is genius? A special path of a person chosen from above (according to theologians), his persistent work on himself, a genetic joke or a mistake? Or just a lucky coincidence, after which just yesterday an ordinary person becomes a genius?

In my opinion, every person possesses genius to one degree or another. After all, even if being diversified, that is, being Leonard's "Vitruvian man" or "universal man" is difficult and sounds laborious and difficult, but how many people have an addiction to this or that science, be it exact, natural, humanitarian or social?

And how many have an addiction to a particular science? By the way, after all, it is the fanatics of a particular scientific discipline that are usually recognized as “geniuses” in their field, while not possessing an outstanding mind and abilities, when ambition and luck played a large share in success.

From the foregoing, we can assume that any, even the most ordinary person, a respectable citizen is capable of being outstanding and brilliant in his field. But why, then, "genius" has become not an ordinary word, but a rare one, a praise that is applied to only a few, very few? Although, maybe if people paid less attention to everything "socially correct", such as family, work, money, prestige, fame, their own reputation - maybe then the number of geniuses (whether geniuses, or "stubborn"? ) would be much larger.

One way or another, I consider genius to be rather the excessive originality of a person that fits within the framework of his time. Yes, of course, everyone is original, has its own unique appearance, destiny, thought, idea ... but someone is a little more original than an ordinary original person, let's say. Ask: "What's the time?" And I will answer. Time determined the society in which the "original original" lives.

Genius - originality or bad luck?

Or rather, not even time, but social conditions, the material level of being. Society determined how much a genius could develop his potential. For example, you can imagine flying over the ground. Airplane, or any other aircraft. A person living in ancient times or in modern times, when minds were equally liberated, could speak about his ideas, thoughts and beliefs without fear and fear, without fear of being punished for it.

And, who knows, maybe aircraft would have appeared much earlier than we imagined. If an inventor had talked about "machines of the future" in the 18th or 1st century AD, he would have been considered a genius, a beacon of reason, everything good and beautiful, and the like. But if his words were heard by the people of the harsh Middle Ages, then the infamous fate of the one burned alive and scattered to the wind would not be long in coming. And no, I do not criticize the Middle Ages at all, since each time has its own characteristics. Simply, Antiquity is the genius of materiality and oratory, and the Middle Ages is the genius of the soul and mind.

Genius people in the modern world

It's easy to find a genius these days. It is enough to find a video in which, from improvised means, a person assembles a lighter with the function of a flashlight and a video camera, a self-writing notebook with a voice recorder, or, at worst, discovers new expanses of space in order to assure mankind that “in twenty or thirty years we We can live on Mars." A satisfied public will surely forget both the name and the essence of the discovery ... But at the same time, it will certainly get arguments from the farthest corners of its memory to defend its atheistic positions in a dispute with.

In other words, a genius is now just a person who somehow managed to amuse the public, at least for a while. And it has nothing to do with "Modern Art Swoon," as Russell Connor would say, or the good old and short "Cultural Decline." It's just that people have become more pragmatic.

Indeed, why would an ordinary person need to know about growing artificial vocal cords or about nitric oxide as a superconductor? The maximum benefit from this is a bold throw of cheap pride in the face of a drunken environment, and a good attempt to say "nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrin" after pouring alcohol into oneself. It looks, of course, funny, but everyone will quickly forget.

Nikola Tesla is a genius

The question of why in our time there are no outstanding geniuses whose names will be pronounced years later is vain, and belongs to philosophers, of whom there are also quite a lot now. Maybe that's where the clue lies?

However, I don't think all is lost. After all, geniuses come by chance and spontaneously. Smart people will always exist, but people who will be called "geniuses" are still the exception to all the rules. Although they appeared at the right time and in the right place, passionate about their work, and ready to go all the way for it. A genius is still a fanatic of his work. There is no greater pleasure for a genius than the fruitful result of long and painstaking work. No wonder Lombroso spoke about fanaticism and mental disorders.

I believe that the last geniuses died in the twentieth century. But I will not name scientific geniuses like Albert Einstein, Paul Dirac, Rutherford and others. For the reason described above. I don't think anyone is interested in hearing about the theory of relativity or Dirac's quantum equations.

So, these geniuses were from literature (Sartre, Jean Genet, Huxley, Burroughs, Kharitonov) or from psychology (the legendary Freud and Jung, Kinsey, Klein, etc.). First of all, they were called geniuses because most of them showed extraordinary courage in asserting their views. Enough extravagant and extraordinary in their time.

There is nothing to say about the "universal people" of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. At the same time, artists, mathematicians, sometimes physicists, naturalists, sculptors and sometimes writers (Michelangelo wrote poetry and sonnets). All spheres of life resonated in their minds. And now we have unique cultural heritage. For example, Da Vinci's work on anatomy provided the basis for further medical research.

Brilliant people of Russia

However, Russia is not deprived of its geniuses either. At least, the Soviet writer, director and playwright Yevgeny Kharitonov can be safely called a genius. At least for the fact that he said that there are no geniuses, and the townsfolk invented them to distinguish them from themselves. But it is worth mentioning geniuses who are not related to art and culture.

This, of course, is Mendeleev, pardon the banality. The merit is at least that a person was able to streamline the system of chemical elements, that is, to solve the problem over which many world chemists and physicists of that time puzzled. Further it is worth mentioning Kulibin with his steam engine, the Cherepanov brothers, Polzunov, Ilya Mechnikov, Academician Vernadsky, Pavlov, Tsiolkovsky and many others.

But what is interesting is that these geniuses were often not only specialists in their field, but often in another. For example, Kulibin and Tsiolkovsky were actively involved in philosophy, and Tsiolkovsky's expressions about the soul and immortality are still quoted. In certain circles, of course.

The Russian genius is also present in life. After all, the Russian genius has its own thinking. At the same time, for a long time, Russian genius seemed closed only because the world was not very interested in thinking about the soul of other people, especially when they had their own. Most of the Russian geniuses were still late with the development of philosophical thought in literature and art, so they took ideas, transforming them into their own. However, there is no doubt that the Russian genius has made many technical breakthroughs, as mentioned above. What is the construction of a rocket and the first flight into space worth!

Genius: good or evil?

And, finally, the most ancient philosophical question: "Genius - is it good or evil?"

The question is older than "To be or not to be?". A genius is a person, just more original, in our opinion. Evil and good are not objective criteria for its evaluation. After all, a person perceives his actions subjectively. You can be a great politician and manipulator of souls, like Hitler, but you will be hated for your brutal anti-Semitism and the murder of Jews. By the way, what is a personality described.

You can be a brilliant artist, sculptor, boldly open the bodies of the dead for the plausibility of paintings, but people will more often remember rumors about gay people and your life, as was the case with Da Vinci. You can be a brilliant artist, one of the few mentally ill creators, but people will think about your severed ear.This story can be spawned endlessly.

The mistake is that people evaluate a genius from their “bell towers”, and the genius of other people from theirs. A genius may be a disgusting person himself, but people will remember his actions and judge by them. Also, a genius can be both evil and good, depending on his actions. Genius decides for himself what he is. And if a genius acted fruitfully, if his actions and creations benefited society, everyone says that HIS genius is good, light and good. If his deeds bring death, death and destruction, he is cursed. The latter befell Hitler and Napoleon in their time.

The only thing that can be said about the moral side of genius is based on the results: it is impossible to fully evaluate the act, since its meaning is relative. And it is impossible to accurately assess the phenomenon of genius for the same reason. A genius can be happy watching the chaos he has created.

Those around him hate him, but he is glad, because in chaos he sees order, only he knows. He may be indifferent to his deeds, because he is bound by obligations, but everyone around him praises his genius. There are "brilliant villains" that no one can remember without partiality. Nor can one say what genius is.

In the end, I just want to say that a genius is a person. Genius is not Nietzsche's superman. Excessive originality does not define it as "good" or "bad". Nobody gets genius out of nowhere. But geniuses can also be ordinary people.

Names and surnames of brilliant people of all time

Genius(lat. genius) - the highest degree of giftedness and versatility.

There is an opinion that inspiration accounts for 1% of a genius, and the remaining 99% is hard work up to a sweat. And indeed it is. Hard hard work is an integral part of great scientific discoveries, brilliant works of art, creations of music, painting and architecture.

Brilliant people and their creations remain for centuries.

Traits of a genius- a clear mind, excellent memory, extensive knowledge, creative activity, poetic imagination, literary gift, thirst for knowledge, courage of thought, heroic enthusiasm, understanding of the world and man.

The labyrinths of the movement of brilliant thought have not yet been unraveled by anyone. Geniuses amaze with a very high level of creativity, exceptional, superhuman abilities- in memorizing data, in solving mathematical problems, in instantly capturing connections between phenomena invisible to others.

Developed through persistent and long-term efforts, the abilities of a genius show the limitless possibilities of the human mind.

There is a famous phrase that genius burns on the fire of sex hormones. The constant high creative tension in which a genius lives inevitably subjugates his lifestyle, behavior and daily routine. A genius lives in the world of ideas, not in the material world.

Thoughts and ideas of brilliant people were always ahead of their time, extraordinary courage was needed in overthrowing dogmas and authorities that had existed for centuries. For their advanced ideas, many brilliant people paid with their lives. And only after some time it turned out that the genius was right. He saw what others did not see.

Genius has different forms and different levels. Below we present list of great people. Of course, it is not complete and it can be continued.

Geniuses. Genius people. Names and surnames of brilliant people of all time

Attention!

Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their mailing lists, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they drag people into various magical forums and deceive (give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure out money for magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).

On our sites, we do not provide links to magical forums or sites of magical healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations by phone, we do not have time for this.

Note! We are not engaged in healing and magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services.

The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books.

Sometimes people write to us that on some sites they saw information that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander, not true. In all our lives, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our site, in the materials of the club, we always write that you need to be an honest decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase.

People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The time has come when slander pays well. Now many are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to engage in slandering decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience, about faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, he will never engage in deceit, slander, and fraud.

There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor, hungry for money. The police and other regulatory agencies are not yet able to cope with the increasing influx of "Cheat for profit" insanity.

So please be careful!

Sincerely, Oleg and Valentina Svetovid

Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727). Artist G. Kneller. 1689

It is said that Isaac Newton discovered the law of universal gravitation in his garden. He watched a falling apple and realized that the Earth attracts all objects to itself, and the heavier the object, the stronger it is attracted to the Earth. Reflecting on this, he deduced the law of universal gravitation: All bodies are attracted to each other with a force proportional to both masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The brilliant English scientist, experimenter, researcher, he is also a mathematician, astronomer, inventor, made a lot of discoveries that determined the physical picture of the world around him.

In 1658, King Louis XIV himself, a fan of the arts, attended the debut of Molière's troupe at the Louvre Palace. In front of His Majesty, a farce was played, a merry comedy "Doctor in Love". The actors did their best, the king laughed to tears. The play made a good impression on him. This decided the fate of the troupe - she was given the Petit Bourbon court theater. After 3 years, Molière, already a well-known director, author of many comedies, together with his artists moved to another theater, the Palais Royal. For 15 years of intensive work, Moliere wrote his best plays, became famous as an outstanding actor and reformer of theatrics.

At the beginning of the 17th century, strict rules reigned in the best French Jesuit college in La Flèche. The disciples got up early and ran to prayer. Only one, the best pupil, was allowed to stay in bed due to poor health - it was René Descartes. So he developed the habit of reasoning, finding solutions to mathematical problems. Later, according to legend, it was during these morning hours that he had a thought that spread all over the world: "I think, therefore I exist." Like the great thinkers of antiquity, Descartes was universal. He laid the foundations of analytical geometry, created many algebraic notations, discovered the law of conservation of motion, explained the root causes of the motion of celestial bodies.

The founder of classical pedagogy, the Czech scholar Jan Amos Komensky, back in the 17th century, established that education in schools should be comprehensive in four age groups - children (up to 6 years old), adolescent (from 6 to 12), youth (from 12 to 18) and higher school for young people from 18 to 24 years old. He was the first to put forward the idea of publishing books for children with pictures, systematized the educational process - introduced the concept of a lesson as the main form of teaching children. All the proposals and wishes of Comenius, and they number many dozens, entered the practical experience of European pedagogy.

The young Florentine Galileo Galilei, who studied at the University of Pisa, attracted the attention of professors not only with clever reasoning, but also with original inventions. Alas, the gifted student was expelled from the third year - his father did not have money for his studies. But the young man found a patron, the rich Marquis Guidobaldo del Moite, who was fond of science. He supported the 22-year-old Galileo. Thanks to the Marquis, a man entered the world who showed his genius in mathematics, physics, and astronomy. Even during his lifetime, he was compared with Archimedes. He was the first to claim that the universe is infinite.

William Shakespeare is considered a brilliant poet and playwright not only in Britain, but throughout the world. It is generally accepted that his works are a kind of encyclopedia of human relationships, they are like a mirror in which people, great and insignificant, are presented in their essence. He wrote 17 comedies, 11 tragedies, 10 chronicles, 5 poems and 154 sonnets. They are studied in schools, higher educational institutions. No playwright has been able to achieve such greatness as Shakespeare was awarded after his death. Until now, scientists from different countries are trying to solve the question of how such a creator could appear in the 16th century, whose works 400 years later remain still relevant.

The childhood of the future ruler of Foggy Albion was far from happy. Her father, King Henry VIII, was not happy about the birth of his daughter. England needed an heir to the throne, everyone was waiting for the boy. This was predicted by fortune-tellers, astrologers. In honor of the future heir, knightly tournaments were organized, a special font was being prepared in the church for his baptism. And suddenly a girl. Heinrich only pretended to be a happy father. In fact, already then he decided to get rid of Anne Boleyn - his wife, the mother of his newly born daughter.
