Belief, Persistence & Humor - the Einstein Way
Published by David Schaefer on Tagged Mindset for Success, Success and FailureOne high school teacher commented to Albert Einstein, “Nothing will ever become of you.”
As a student, throughout Einstein’s education, he cut classes, displayed a lack of obedience, and was constantly joking. He managed a 4.91 average out of 6 in his final university grades (considered almost average). As a young man he seriously struggled with job success and finances; and early on, Einstein published a few not especially impressive physics articles.
Yet, Albert Einstein became the most famous scientist of the 20th centruy, thanks to his groundbreaking theory of relativity — which laid the foundation for much of modern physics theory. His work had profound impact on everything form quantum theory to nuclear power and the atom bomb. And, he won the Nobel Prize for his work on the photoelectric effect.
It turned out that this man who was viewed as less than impressive and struggled with serious difficulties in jobs, finances, and family matters, knew the meaning of believing in himself, persistence, and how to call upon humor throughout his life to help maintain perspective.
These prolific words came from Albert Einstein:
“In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”
“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
