Did You Know?
The founder of Stoicism was Zeno of Citium, a Greek philosopher who began sharing his ideas with his own group of students over 2,000 years ago.

From his teachings grew the powerful philosophy we now call Stoicism — a way of life that focuses on virtue, tolerance, and self-control.

Even today, Stoic principles help people stay calm, resilient, and focused on what truly matters.

James Dewey Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped light the long fuse on a revolution in medicine, crimefighting, genealogy and ethics, has died on 6th November, 2025. He was 97, died in hospice care.

Both of Watson’s Nobel co-winners, Crick and Wilkins, died in 2004.

Near the end of his life, he faced condemnation and professional censure for offensive remarks, including saying Black people were less intelligent than white people.

By the early 2000s, he had been largely ostracised by the scientific community over his comments on race and gender.

Watson became the first living Nobel laureate to sell his gold medal, fetching $4.8m (£3.6m) at an auction in 2014, saying he was letting go of it because he felt ostracised by the scientific community after his controversial remarks.

A Russian billionaire bought it for $4.8m and promptly gave it back to him.

Einstein, the EPITOME of a Genius!

He clearly had Curiosity, Character and Determination. He struggled against rejection in early life.

𝑫𝒊𝒅 𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒖𝒔 𝒐𝒓 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒈𝒊𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒅 ?

He once wrote: "It's not that I'm so smart , it's just that I stay with PROBLEMS longer.

Most people say it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is CHARACTER"

(N.B. Einstein was slow to talk as a baby)
