Promethius may have given fire to the mortals, but he did not provide the ways in which thermal heat could be turned into energy. Clausius did, however; he first combinined the ideas of James Joule and William Thomson to form his own individual theory of heat transferred into energy. Beyond doubt he is to be admired for such a contribution to humanity, but also for the perseverance he had. Clausius had to overcome people trying to take credit for his work and then the challenge of growing up without a mother. Being motherless is unimaginable and his success in the face of adversity shows that one should continue to excel no matter the cards one is dealt in life. Many spiral into depression over such a void, but he had to ability to overlook it and become great, providing an idea that can be applied to electricity.
