ludwig van beethoven

The world-famous German composer was incredibly unmindful. He was known to be so indifferent about his clothes that his close friends looked for opportunities to sneak into his apartment when the great composer was out. Do you know why?

And the strangest thing was that Beethoven never even noticed that his clothes had been replaced, leave alone find out how they got into his almirah.

Thomas alva Edison

The great American inventor was a connoisseur of cigars. To his misery, he often found visitors in his office puffing away at his favourite Havana cigars. So his secretrary came up with an idea. He suggested that since Edison had a friend in the cigar trade, he should ask him to make some cigars out of cabbage leaves which could be substituted for the genuine Havanas. Edison agreed, but soon forgot all about it. He went off on a trip and remembered about the plan once he returned. When he asked his secretary what became of the bogus cigars, he was told that they had arrived a long time back and had been passed on to his manager. Edison then called the manager, who explained that not knowing what they were, he had packed them in Edison’s bag before his trip. "And guess what!" Edison later recalled, "I smoked every one of those damned cigars myself!"
