Yesterday I was reading a famous weekly magazine and passing the eye something called my attention. It was a small citation talking about Grigori Perelman, the same man some days before I had read on a book about influence, engagement and motivation. The book describes the strategies and solutions that the main influencers in the world are using to make what most of us consider impossible.
Between considerations about motives and sense of self was the Perelman´s story. I personally think it´s amazing: a recluse mathematician that found a solution to a secular problem with no interest on money or fame. More than that, he didn´t accept a kind of mathematics´ Nobel Prize nor a $1 million prize.
I´m still trying to understand – even superficially – what the problem means. Ok, I´m not a genius. But is not awesome? Be capable of focus yourself on a particular work, during years, free from outside interventions.
The book´s explanation says that Perelman had pleasure from three intrinsic sources discussed previously: He reveled in the accomplishment, loved the challenge of the game, and took pleasure in acting true to the vision of who he wanted to be.
Would it be the key for us too?
