Lesson we should

learn from Stephen


Hawking
The success formula Stephen hawking
taught us

Stephen Hawking is one of the greatest physicists of the 20th


century, who passed away 14 March 2018. Among other
physicists, he was more renowned for the singularity
theorems, which brought him worldwide success. In the
recent PBS documentary he commented upon it:
“Sometimes I wonder if I’m as famous for my wheelchair
and disabilities as I am for my discoveries”. Despite his
disease, he received widespread acclaim from the scientific
community for his contribution to the world science. Let’s
see what lessons we can learn from the extraordinary
personality of Stephen Hawking.
Stephen Hawking’s Life Lessons

• 1. He used technology overcome his disability


• "Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change."- Stephen
Hawking
• As long as the greatest scientist himself was unable to
speak, he used speech synthesizer.
• Many scientific institutions offered him to make his voice
sound more “human-like”, but the scientist refused: “The
voice I use is a very old hardware speech synthesizer made
in 1986. I keep it because I have not heard a voice I like
better and because I have identified with it.”
2. He didn’t allow obstacles to distract
him

• Hawking always said that disability isn’t the obstacle to


your dream and goals. After being diagnosed, he fell in love
with Jane Wilde, they got married and had three children.
And at this time he worked hard on research
• Stephen Hawking sir said”I don’t have much positive to say
about motor neuron disease. But it taught me not to pity
myself because others were worse off, and to get on with
what I could still do.”- Stephen Hawking.

3. He was curious by nature

In the 2015 interview with WIRED magazine Stephen


Hawking said that he felt like a child who had never grown
up and kept asking “how” and “why” questions.

• “Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to


make sense of what you see, and wonder about what
makes the universe exist. Be curious.”- Stephen Hawking
4. He had a good sense of humor

• "Keeping an active mind has been vital to my survival, as


has been maintaining a sense of humor." - Stephen
Hawking.
• Stephen Hawking was involved in such series as "The
Simpsons", "Futurama", "Stargate: Atlantis", "Star Trek" and
"The Big Bang Theory".
5. He stuck to his principles

• In 2008, Hawking revealed that he had been approached


with the offer of a knighthood in the late 1990s, but he
declined. This was apparently over the UK government's
handling of science funding..

6. He never gave up

• “Next time someone complains that you have made a mistake,


tell him that may be a good thing. Because without imperfection,
neither you nor I would exist.”– Stephen Hawking
• When Hawking published his book about black holes named
“Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays”, his views
puzzled the scientists of the 20th century. However, he continued
working despite criticism and became one of the greatest
scientific figures. Such commitment should serve as an example
for those, who don’t feel strong enough to move toward their
goals.

7. He valued time as a precious resource

• "I have so much that I want to do. I hate wasting time."–


Stephen Hawking
• Unfortunately, none of us is able to turn back the clock. So
we should take an example from Stephen Hawking, who
used his time wisely and made lots of great discoveries in
his life.
8. He shared his knowledge

• Hawking firmly believed that knowledge should be


accessible. He wanted his works to be understandable for
everyone. His dream came true when he published “A Brief
History of Time” written for nonspecialist readers with no
prior knowledge of scientific theories.

Conclusion

• You might think that only hardship leads to success, but it’s
not true. Stephen Hawking believed, that each and every
one of us is unique and gifted with a power of the human
spirit.
• "We are all different. There is no such thing as a standard
or run-of-the-mill human being, but we share the same
human spirit."– Stephen Hawking
• Good Luck!
