Albert Einstein has long been considered a genius by the masses. He was a theoretical physicist, philosopher, author, and is perhaps the most influential scientists to ever live.
10 Amazing Life Lessons You Can Learn From Albert Einstein:
Follow Your
Curiosity
"I have no special
talent. I am only passionately curious."
What
piques your curiosity? I am curious as to what causes one person to
succeed while another person fails; this is why I've spent years
studying success. What are you most curious about? The pursuit of your
curiosity is the secret to your success.
Perseverance is Priceless
"It's
not that I'm so smart; it's just that I stay with problems longer."
Through
perseverance the turtle reached the ark. Are you willing to persevere
until you get to your intended destination?
They say the entire value of the postage stamp consist in its ability
to stick to something until it gets there. Be like the postage stamp;
finish the race that you've started!
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."
My father always says you cannot ride
two horses at the same time. I like to say, you can do anything, but not
everything. Learn to be present where you are; give your all to
whatever you're currently doing.
Focused energy is power, and
it's the difference between success and failure.
The
Imagination is Powerful
"Imagination
is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.
Imagination is more important than knowledge."
Are
you using your imagination daily? Einstein said the imagination is more
important than knowledge! Your imagination pre-plays your future.
Einstein went on to say, "The true sign of intelligence is not
knowledge, but imagination." Are you exercising your "imagination
muscles" daily, don't let something as powerful as your imagination lie
dormant.
Make Mistakes
"A
person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."
Never
be afraid of making a mistake. A mistake is not a failure. Mistakes can
make you better, smarter and faster, if you utilize them properly.
Discover the power of making mistakes. I've said this before, and I'll
say it again, if you want to succeed, triple the amount of mistakes that
you make.
Live in the Moment
"I
never think of the future - it comes soon enough."
The
only way to properly address your future is to be as present as
possible "in the present."
You cannot "presently" change
yesterday or tomorrow, so it's of supreme importance that you dedicate
all of your efforts to "right now." It's the only time that matters,
it's the only time there is.
Create Value
"Strive
not to be a success, but rather to be of value."
Don't
waste your time trying to be successful, spend your time creating
value. If you're valuable, then you will attract success.
Discover
the talents and gifts that you possess, learn how to offer those
talents and gifts in a way that most benefits
others.
Labor to be valuable and success will chase you down.
Don't Expect
Different Results
"Insanity:
doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different
results."
You can't keep doing the same thing
everyday and expect different results. In other words, you can't keep
doing the same workout routine
and expect to look differently. In order for your life to change, you
must change, to the degree that you change your actions and your
thinking is to the degree that your life will change.
Knowledge
Comes From Experience
"Information
is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience."
Knowledge
comes from experience. You can discuss a task, but discussion will only
give you a philosophical understanding of it; you must experience the
task first hand to "know it." What's the lesson? Get experience! Don't
spend your time hiding behind speculative information, go out there and
do it, and you will have gained priceless knowledge.
Learn the
Rules and Then Play Better
"You
have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better
than anyone else."
To put it all in simple terms,
there are two things that you must do. The first thing you must do is to
learn the rules of the game that you're playing. It doesn't sound
exciting, but it's vital. Secondly, you must commit to play the game
better than anyone else. If you can do these two things, success will be
yours!
