He had suffered from extreme paranoia in his early thirties while teaching at Princeton University.Later on was diagnosed as Schizophrenia and had been hospitalized twice for his illness. Not one healed him except his own self.He decided to one day just to think rationally and he had recovered on his own. It was believed that part of his recovery has something to do with the huge support of his wife Alicia.Their marriage was hard to imagine considering his mental illness but eventually things fell together.
He received a Nobel Peace Prize for his "game theory" after his full recovery was confirmed. Today, his contribution is being used in the business economy and the whole world benefit from what was once regarded as insanity. He had two sons both named John. The former a mathematician too who is also suffering from schizophrenia but his son is now well received and treated better than what they did to his father. His life is very inspiring.To be able to be beyond normal and to have an unstoppable mind must be both a curse and a blessing.But at the end of it all,he showed that we are all in control of our own minds and that is the only thing that only you can do and no one else.

“I was in technical school when it happened, and I was only three months from graduating. I was going to be an HVAC repairman. Then one day these two older kids asked me to come with them to Manhattan. They told me they were going to do something, and they needed a lookout. Honestly, it was just something to do. We didn’t talk about money or anything. We drove to the place and they told me to stand on the corner. There weren’t even cellphones in those days, so I don’t even know what I was supposed to be doing. The two guys went into a store, and after about five seconds I started hearing shots. They came running back out, and somebody was chasing them, shooting at them. So I ran straight home and I turned on the TV. And I saw the faces of the two guys I was with. It said they were wanted for double homicide. A couple days later, two detectives came and arrested me in front of my entire family. My mother was screaming. I didn’t think that I’d done anything wrong. The first time I met with my lawyer, she told me that she could get me life without parole, like that was a good thing. It didn’t feel real.
