The life of
Pythagoras
Although we
all know this great man, there are little known facts about his life and most
of the information we have of him can be seen as myths carried on through
generations.
Pythagoras
was a man who dedicated his life to Mathematics, politics, religion, philosophic
ways and music.
In everything he took on he gave his all and never gave up until
he achieved his goals. Not everybody believed his thesis’s, but he kept on
going until he could prove them wrong. These were all the acts of a true
mathematical icon!
In his life,
Pythagoras was seen as a religious icon for the so-called Pythagoreans. The
so-called Pythagoreans, who were the first to take up mathematics, not only
advanced this subject, but saturated with it, they fancied that the principles
of mathematics were the principles of all things. All their opinions were in
support of the achievements of their great icon, Pythagoras.
I think the
biggest lesson we can learn from this great man is the following: It doesn’t
matter where you find yourself trying to solve a math problem or in the life,
the secret is to never give up and keep chasing your dreams. You never know if
the next step you take will lead to something great!
“Choose
rather to be strong of soul than strong of body.”
