There are a lot of people who can work best when they are left alone. Solitariness brings out the best from many people. There are many famous examples of people who have rewritten history with their works that they produced when they work alone. The works of Thomas Alva Edison, Isaac Newton, Michelangelo, and William Shakespeare to name a few were produced when they were alone.



The environment that one prefers to work in differs from person to person. What matters is the end result. However these exceptions are seen in case of people who are extra ordinarily talented and whose works are path breaking and are recognized globally. There might be cases of common people who have erratic working hours, but because their works are not out of the ordinary, they are not known.

However, did you know that there are some people who produce brilliant work when they are depressed? Yes, when under the spell of depression, there are people who tend to produce better work. There are some famous people who have left behind works that we are proud of today and these are the works that were produced when they were in some kind of problem or depression.

The people who are interested in literature must have heard of a very famous short story writer called O Henry. All his short stories, that are today the identity of this genre, were written when he was deep in poverty and highly depressed. The relevance of his stories in today's world can be gauged by the popularity that they enjoy even today, and also from the fact that they have been translated to a number of languages in the world and the process continues.

Apart from O Henry, even the people not interested in literature must be familiar with this one, the name is Shakespeare (many do not know that his first name is William). He not only worked in his own solitary world but also in a depression filled world. Not many people know that his 104 world famous sonnets were written when he was in the pain of departing from some "fair friend and a dark lady". Infact the sonnets were also dedicated to these two mysterious people.

Literature, I tell you, is filled with examples of people working in depression, and that too working great. A classic example is that of John Keats. This brilliant poet died at a young age of 26 from the grief of parting from his beloved Fanny Browne.

Many of her close friends and the critics believe that her best films were those which she did when she was starting to show the first symptoms of depression. If we go through the pages of history we will come through a lot of examples related to this topic. But since you and me, both are short of time and also space let's come to the topic straight.
