In 1994 he started a project “Luck” involving 400 volunteers who let professor and his team study their private life events in order to make conclusions about their good or bad luck. The results of the experiment were published and the book became a bestseller despite being written in a scientific language. Answering the question whether he really believes that all people can be divided into lucky and unlucky ones, prof. Weisman gives a few examples proving that fact – he mentions a very lucky jewelry shops owner and a very unlucky flight attendant. He does not agree that human life is just a set of coincidences. However, prof. Weisman is convinced that different omens, amulets and lucky charms do not work at all and are nothing more that superstitions.

The editorial “Separating Science from Stereotype,” published in Nature Neuroscience scientific journal in March 2005 is strongly focused on the speech given at the National Bureau of Economics conference by Harvard University president Lawrence Summers. This speech became a topic of debate in which the editorial gives evidence on how Summers’ argument about the differences in success differs between gender were irrelevant. It is true that most corporations are run by men; however, that does not imply that men have more career success than women. In agreeance with the editorial, there isn’t much evidence that proves one gender having advantages over the other that would pre-determine the success of the person. In terms of education, the

Leaders have been studied for centuries, but it has been in only the last one-hundred years that the academic world has made a serious effort to develop scientific leadership theories. Initially driven by industrialists' desire to increase productivity in the manufacturing work force, researchers such as F. W. Taylor began efficiency studies in the early twentieth century. It was not long before theorists realized that productivity was a function of the mind as well as physical or organizational factors, and studies concentrated increasingly on how man is psychologically motivated to perform. Dozens of theories and their variations were developed in the twentieth century by management theorists such as F. E. Fiedler, N. Maier, R. Stodgill, R. Likert, K. Maher, B. Bass, and J. M. Burns. Leadership theories with names such as psychoanalytical, contingency, charismatic, attribution, situational, transactional, and transformational were developed as academicians attempted to discover the ingredients of the effective leader.
The hallucinations were often connected to some idea or word and they visualised an invention in its precize form even before it was constructed. Tesla studied electrical engineering on the polytechnic in Graz which he didnt finish, afterwards he worked in Budapest and later in Paris and gained a very good recomandation letter to work for Edisons company in New York where he eventually moved to work. Edison offered Tesla 50000d, that would be today ~1mil d due to inflation, if he redesigned and improved Edisons DC motors and generators. Although Tesla did major improvements, after he asked for his reward Edison told him that this offer was only a joke and gave him nothing. At this point Edisons and Teslas pathes divided and later Edison become Teslas major
