This is about 5 hobbies of geniuses that changed the world forever
They always tell us to find our talent. There are people who have already explained it since their childhood. They are born with gifts that definitely lead them to a great career.
However, for others, it costs us more. As years go by, we walk aimlessly through life. We have a hard time finding what we are really good at.
Here are 5 examples of people who created history with what they created in their adulthood. They have hobbies from an early age that lead them to success as adults. They can inspire you and help you discover your hidden talents:
1. JRR Tolkien and the Reinvention of Fantasy
Tolkien influenced the drawing of maps, the creation of languages, and almost all modern fantasy.
The author of “The Hobbit” & “The Lord of the Rings” has a great facility for creating languages and he is a great inventor of new worlds inhabited by orcs, elves, hobbits and dwarves. He channelled this talent into an astonishing literary work of the last century.
Tolkien practically reinvented the fantasy genre; the list of works inspired by his books is immense. Practically everything in this genre has a little nuance from the lessons left by the teacher.
2. Satoshi Tajiri and the World of Insects
Tajiri is the creative mind behind the huge success “Pokemon” all because he had an obsession with collecting insects. This addiction to insects started in childhood.
When Tajiri grew up, he created a game where people could collect characters. The success of the first “Pokémon” has ushered in a magical new world for kids — and teens and adults — around the world.
3. Walt Disney and his miniatures
Its small worlds became the best amusement park in the world
The creator of Mickey, Goofy and Donald, he had a curious hobby: collecting miniatures. Walt Disney spent hours playing with his insignificant miniature versions of toys, dolls and buildings. This small world inspired him to create something great: Disneyland!
4. The Wright brothers and their addiction to high-flying
There is a bigger rivalry than who was the first person to build the world’s first aeroplane. Be it the Brazilian Santos Dumont or the Americans Wilbur and Orville Wright. It is interesting to know that the latter’s love for aeroplanes was due to his obsession with some sort of toy helicopter during their childhood.
5. Linus Tollwards and the Digital Revolution
Linus Torvalds wanted to see if he could create his own operating system.
Today, Linux is used by only 1% of the world. However, this operating system was a revolution in the computer world. The coolest thing of all is that its creator, Linus Torvalds, said that he developed it because he was bored and approached the whole process as a hobby. In fact, Linux has an open architecture that allows anyone to modify it.
