Ten Lessons from Einstein

blua:

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 on the present. “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. Don’t waste the present thinking of the future. “I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.”

7. Aim to help. “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”

8. Learn from your mistakes. “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

9. Knowledge comes as you live. “Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.”

10. Learn the rules, play better. “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”
