Here is a Beautiful Short  Story of how a genius after being successful can have a Downfall. A must read for all

He did it so perfectly that it was impossible to tell the reproduction from the original .Thus was Successful in his formula. One day while doing his research realized that the Angel of Death was searching for him .In order to remain immortal he reproduced a dozen copies of himself .The Reproduction was so meticulous that all of them looked exactly like him. Now when this angel of death came down ,he was at a loss to know which of the Thirteen before him was the Original Scientist and confused ,he left them all alone and returned back to heaven. But not for long, for being an expert in human nature ,the Angel came up with a clever idea .He said to the scientist addressing all Thirteen of them, ”Sir you must be a genius to have succeeded in making such perfect reproduction formula of Yourself. However, I have discovered a flaw in your work, just one tiny little flaw ”The Scientist immediately jumped out and shouted Impossible! Where is the flaw?” “Right here” said the Angel, as he picked up the scientist from among the reproductions and carried him off. The whole purpose of the scientist and his formula of reproduction failed as he could not control his pride and lost his life.
