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



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. Prof. Einstein was a philosopher who clearly understood the laws of success and explained them like the way he did with his equations. Here is a list of 10 things out of the numerously wonderful things he had said; 10 golden lessons that you can put to use in your everyday life.



1. A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.



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.



2. Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.



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.



3. 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.



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.

4. The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.



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.



5. 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.



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.



6. There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can 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.



7. 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.



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.



8. In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself.



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.



9. You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.



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.



10. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.



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.

我每天上百次的提醒自己:我的精神生活和物质生活都是以别人(包括生者和死者)的劳动为基础的,我必须尽力以同样的分量来报偿我所领受了的和至今还在领受着的东西。

--阿尔伯特?爱因斯坦



阿尔伯特?爱因斯坦是20世纪最伟大的物理学家。他提出了很多的普遍定理和方程式,使他一直超越其他科学家。但是,人们也因为另一件事而记住他:一种令人们都称他为天才的才能:他所说过的话。爱因斯坦教授是一位哲学家,他清楚懂得什么是成功法则,他能像解释他的方程式那般解释这些法则。这里有10句话是从他以前所说过的无数极精彩的话语中提取出来的;这是十条你能用在平时生活之中的宝贵建议。

1.不曾犯错的人从来不曾尝试新事物

大多数人因为害怕失败而不会去尝试新的事物。失败并不可怕,因为败者往往会比胜者更能认识胜利所蕴含的意味。而错误总是会给予我们机会去学习和成长。

2.教育是一个人在学校学到的唯一不被遗忘的东西

30年之后,你将不会记得曾经在教科书中学过哪些章节;你只会记得在过程中你学到什么。生活所带给你的经验和教训将陪伴你终生。真正的教育从自身内部开始。

3.我已经受够了作为一个能自由地控制想象力的大师。想像力比知识更重要。因为知识是有限的,而想象力却能畅游整个世界

当你思考我们人类发展,从史前的洞穴生活到现在令人惊叹的科学技术的突飞猛进,你会感到想象力的威力。我们现在所拥有的一切都来源于祖辈的想象力;而我们的想象力又将构筑世界的未来。

4.创意的奥秘是知道如何隐藏你的创意来源

创意和独特性往往取决于如何隐藏你的创意来源。你可以从其他伟人身上受到启发和影响;但当你站在全世界都注视你的舞台上的时候,你必须成为一个独特的、个人的力量去从不同的人身上学习不同的价值观。

5.一个人的价值,在于他贡献什么,而不是他能取得什么。不要渴望成为一个成功的人,而是应该努力做一个有价值的人

当你回顾全球最顶尖人物的一生之后,你会发现他们都曾经为世界创造过某些价值。要得到回报,你得先付出。当你的目标是为世界做贡献或者创造价值时,无论你的精神生活或物质生活都将会被提升到一个更高的层次。

6.天下只有两种生活方式:人生不存在奇迹;人生处处孕育着奇迹

当你认为人生不存在奇迹的时候,你会得到力量去做任何你想要做的事情,而且你会超越极限。而当你认为人生处处孕育着奇迹的时候,你甚至会停下来为一件小小的美好事物而驻足欣赏。这两种思考方式都能让你拥有充实而幸福的生活。

7.在我审视我自己和我的思考方式时,我的结论是:在吸收有益的知识方面,奇思玄想的天赋对我而言,比我的才干更重要

幻想着所有你可以完成的伟大事业能够使你的生活充满积极性。让你的想象力任意驰骋,尽情创造你想要的一切吧。

8.要成为羊群中优秀的一员,你就必须先成为一只羊

如果你想成为一名成功的企业家,你就必须现在立刻创立你的公司。只是希望成为企业家,但又害怕面对失败后果,这样一点用处也没有。同理,很多事情也一样--要赢比赛,首先得参加比赛。

9.你必须去学习游戏规则。然后,你还要比别人玩得更好

了解游戏规则,然后开始游戏并做到最好。一直保持竞争的状态就好像押下你的生命作为赌注那样。不久后,你的对手可能只剩下你自己。到那时,超越自己!

10.最重要的是不要停止问问题。好奇心的存在,自有它的道理

智者总是好问。不停地对自己和他人发问以寻求解决方法。这将会帮助你在人生进程中获得更多知识与智慧,并全方位地分析自己的成长
