Nikola Tesla was he a modest man?

Answer 1

Nikola Tesla was a very modest man. Unlike his rival Thomas Edison, Tesla was very quiet about his inventions and kept to himself. Edison publicized his inventions, which is one reason why he is more famous than Tesla. Tesla had many phobias and quirks, like he was disgusted with jewelry and was obsessed with the number three. Another way that he was modest was that he was celibate. Even though many women dearly loved him, Tesla thought that by being celibate he would be a better scientist. He was a very quiet person and was never arrogant about his inventions. Not only knowledgeable in science, but also enjoyed things like philosophy and poetry. Edison received more credit than Tesla simply because Tesla never bragged about his inventions and was incredibly modest.
