What You Do Is Who You Are

What You Do Is Who You Are “I don’t want you to be me, you just need to be you” – Chance The Rapper   When the book “What You Do Is Who You Are” arrived here, I put all other titles on “pause.” Not because other books are lower quality (I started some excellent…

"Ratnik Sunca" - Živojin Žika Petrović Branko Lalović

Warrior of the Sun

Warrior of the Sun I couldn’t help but (bitterly) smile a bit at the fates of scientists and innovators. It seems they struggle “against windmills” their whole lives. This especially applies to discoveries that can be in service of all humanity. Tesla, for example, wanted to provide everyone with unlimited (and cheap) energy (electricity) and…
