Einstein Encourages Us to…

  1. Be Curious.
    I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.
  2. Persevere.
    It’s not that I’m so smart; it’s just that I stay with problems longer.
  3. Focus.
    Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
  4. Imagine.
    Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.
  5. Fail.
    A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
  6. Be Present.
    I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
  7. Create Value
    Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
  8. Change.
    Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
  9. Learn from Experience.
    Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.
  10. Learn Rules. Play Better.
    You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.

I’d like to know…

Which of the above life lessons could you benefit from most at this stage in your life?

Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others…for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.
A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
Albert Einstein (via simtan) (via quote-book)
Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.    - Albert Einstein
