2. Every day I remind myself that my inner
and outer life are based on the labors of
other men, living and dead, and that I
must exert myself in order to give in the
same measure as I have received and am
still receiving - Albert Einstein
3. Albert Einstein was an amazing physicist. He figured out so many universal principles and
equations that he was way ahead of his fellow scientists at any point of time. But he is also
remembered for another thing; a quality which made people call him a genius: his words.
4. Prof. Einstein was a philosopher
who clearly understood the laws
of success and explained them
like the way he did with his
equations. Here are 10 Amazing
Lessons from Albert Einstein # 2
that you can put to use in your
everyday life:
Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to Theoretical
Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.”
5. Most people don’t try new things because of their fear of failure. Failing is not something to
be afraid of. It is often the losers who learn more about winning than the winners. Our
mistakes always give us opportunities to learn and grow.
Life Lesson 1 : Learn from your failure
6. A person who never
made a mistake never
tried anything new.
7. Life Lesson 2 : Find lessons in your life
30 years from now, you won’t possibly remember what chapters you had in your science
book; you’d only remember what you learn on your way. Life lessons stay with you forever.
Real education starts from within.
9. Life Lesson 3 : Use your imagination
When you reflect on how far we humans have come from the prehistoric caves to mind-
blowing technological advancements, you would feel the power of imagination. What we
have now was built from the imagination of our forefathers. What we will have in future will
be built from our imagination.
10. I am enough of an artist
to draw freely upon my
imagination. Imagination
is more important than
knowledge. Knowledge
is limited. Imagination
encircles the world.
11. Creativity and uniqueness often depends on how well you hide your sources. You can get
inspired and influenced by other great people; but when you are on stage with the whole
world watching, you must become a unique, individual force that learnt different values from
different people.
Life Lesson 4 : You must become an unique person
12. The secret to creativity
is knowing how to hide
your sources.
13. Life Lesson 5 : Adding your value to the world
If you think of all the top people in the world, they would have added something of value to
the world. You must give in order to take. When your purpose is contributing or adding
value to the world, you will be elevated to a higher level of living.
14. The value of a man should be
seen in what he gives and not in
what he is able to receive. Try
not to become a man of success,
but rather try to become a man
of value.
15. Life Lesson 6 : Live as if everything is a miracle!
When nothing is a miracle, you gain the power of doing anything you want and you have no
limits. And when everything is a miracle, you stop by to appreciate even the smallest of
beautiful things in the world. Thinking both ways will give you a productive and happy life.
16. There are two ways to live:
you can live as if nothing is
a miracle; you can live as if
everything is a miracle.
17. Life Lesson 7 : Dream about the great things
Dreaming about all the great things that you can achieve is the key to a life filled with
positivity. Let your imagination run amuck and create the world that you would wish to
be in.
18. When I examine
myself and my
methods of
thought, I come to
the conclusion that
the gift of fantasy
has meant more to
me than any talent
for abstract,
positive thinking.
19. Life Lesson 8 : You must play the game of life
If you want to become a very successful entrepreneur, you must start a business right away.
Wishing to become one, but fearing the consequences will not help. The same applies to
everything – in order to win a game, one must above all play the game.
20. In order to be an immaculate member of a flock
of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself.
21. Life Lesson 9 : Be the best player, better your best
Learn the rules of your game and start playing it best. Keep competing like your life depended
on it. And after a while you will have no one else but you to compete against. At that point,
better your best.
22. You have to learn
the rules of the
game. And then you
have to play better
than anyone else.
23. Life Lesson 10 : Keep questioning yourself
Intelligent people ask. Keep questioning yourself and others to find solutions. This will
help gain knowledge and analyze your growth in all walks of life.
24. The important thing is
not to stop questioning.
Curiosity has its own
reason for existing.
25. “A man should look
for what is, and not
for what he thinks
should be.”
