Newton's life began with the tragedy of his father's death and was marked by difficult experiences, including neglect from his mother and stepfather, and struggling with loneliness and poverty during his university education. Additionally, the questioning and criticism of his work deeply affected him.
In later years, he gained fame for his discoveries and became a member of the Royal Society. However, a dispute with the renowned scientist Robert Hooke and Newton's reluctance to share his work with other scientists damaged his reputation.
Newton's personal life was also filled with tragic events, including the loss of his mother, betrayal from his close friend Henry St. John, and health problems in his later years.
Despite these challenges, Newton's scientific achievements ensured that he would be remembered as one of the most important figures in world history.
"If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants."
