10 Golden Lessons from Albert Einstein

4 Jan 2008

Written by lifetweak

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.

[...] 10 lecciones sobre la vida, por Albert Einstein Una de las personas que mas admiro en la vida es Albert Einstein, no solo por su intelecto sino que por su filosof?a de la vida. A continuaci?n una lista de 10 frases de su autor?a, que creo que muchos encontrar?n extremadamente interesantes, fascinantes y sabias (traduzco del Ingl?s). 1. "Alguien que nunca ha cometido errores nunca trat? de hacer algo nuevo." – En otras palabras, la mayor?a de las personas nunca prueba cosas nuevas por temer a fracasar. El fracaso no es algo a que temer. Por lo general los perdedores aprenden mas de ganar que los mismos ganadores. Nuestros errores nos dan oportunidad de aprender y crecer. 2. "La educaci?n es lo que sobra despu?s que a uno se le olvida lo que aprendi? en la escuela." Es decir, la educaci?n es lo que uno aprende sobre la marcha de la vida, y no los simples detalles que uno memoriza en un momento determinado. 3. "Soy lo suficiente artista como para dibujar de mi imaginaci?n. La imaginaci?n es mas importante que el conocimiento. El conocimiento es limitado. La imaginaci?n envuelve al mundo." 4. "El secreto de la creatividad es saber esconder tus fuentes." – En el contexto en donde Einstein dijo esto quiso decir que aunque somos influenciados por otras grandes personas, en el momento de subir a un escenario debemos dejar atr?s a esas personas y convertirnos en un individuo ?nico y original, que aprende diferentes valores de diferentes personas. 5. "El valor de un hombre debe medirse por lo que da y no por lo que recibe. No trates de convertirte en un hombre de ?xito sino en un hombre de valores." 6. "Existen dos maneras de vivir: Puedes vivir como si nada es un milagro, o puedes vivir como si todo es un milagro." – Con esto quiso decir que cuando nada es un milagro que tu obtienes el poder de hacer lo que sea sin l?mites. Y cuando todo es un milagro, te detienes a apreciar hasta la mas peque?a de todas las cosas bellas del mundo. El pensar de ambas maneras te dar? un vida productiva y feliz. 7. "Cuando me examino a m? mismo y mis m?todos de pensar, llego a la conclusi?n que el don de la fantas?a ha significado mas para m? que cualquier otro talento para pensar positivo y abstractamente." – Es decir, el so?ar sobre todas las cosas que puedes lograr en la vida es la clave para una vida llena de positivismo. Deja que tu imaginaci?n te lleve por todo tipo de senderos y crea al mundo en el que desear?as vivir. 8. "Para ser un miembro inmaculado de un reba?o de ovejas, uno debe, sobre todas las cosas, primero ser una oveja." – Con esto quiso decir que si deseas ser un empresario exitoso, debes empezar tu propio negocio inmediatamente. El solo desear serlo, mientras le tienes miedo a las consecuencias no va a ayudar. Lo mismo aplica para todo: Para ganar un partido uno debe primero y ante todo que jugar el partido. 9. "Debes aprender las reglas del juego. Y despu?s debes jugar mejor que todo el mundo." – En otras palabras, haz el mejor trabajo posible que puedas, como si tu vida dependiera de ello, y despu?s que no tengas contra quien competir, solo te tendr?s a ti mismo contra quien competir. En ese momento, mejora lo mejor que hayas logrado. 10. "Lo importante de todo es nunca dejar de hacerte preguntas. La curiosidad tiene su propia raz?n de existir." – Con esto Einstein quiso decir que las personas inteligentes preguntan. No dejes de hacer preguntas a ti mismo y a otros para encontrar soluciones, pues esto te ayudar? obtener conocimientos y analizar tu crecimiento en todos los caminos de la vida.
