25 Life Lessons From Albert Einstein by drpips1(m): 10:54am On Dec 07, 2014
I am sure all of you have heard about Albert Einstein. Probably he is one of the most famous scientists who created a big revolution in the scientific world and opened several new gateways of research and development. Theory of relativity, founding of relativistic cosmology, the prediction of the deflection of light by gravity that was later ended to understanding of black holes, the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids, the zero-point energy concept, the quantum theory of a monatomic gas, and… are only some of the things that he has done. now lets look at 25 amazing life lessons we can learn from him



1. Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.
2. Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized.
3. Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
4. If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
5. A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem.
6. Love is a better teacher than duty.
7. If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.
8. No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.
9. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
10. Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
11. It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.
12. Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.
13. Force always attracts men of low morality.
14. Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.
15. A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
16. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
17. A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
18. It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
19. Anyone who doesn’t take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.
20. Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
21. Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
22. Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
23. Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.
24. Information is not knowledge.
25. Never lose a holy curiosity.

Why must life lessons always come from these guys? For me, have learnt a lot already from my mum, I don't agree with all these mere penned thoughts.
