10 Great Life Lessons from Albert Einstein

Curiosity helps to fuel our imagination. 

• When we ask questions of others, we can find out important information to help us solve problems, open new doors and form connections. 
• When we ask questions of ourselves, we can shake up our beliefs, reveal our innermost desires and make positive change. 

"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious."

Don’t ever give up on your unsolved problems. You can always get over anything on the way if you include perseverance in your character.

Some ways to begin practicing perseverance is by

• Committing to your dream.
• Keeping a positive attitude.
• Staying focused on what you want every day.
• Bouncing back from adversity.

“It’s not that I’m so smart; it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”

We can miss the pleasures of the present by becoming too preoccupied with the past and/or future.

Reminding ourselves daily to be present will bring us more peace and joy as well as provide us with a greater appreciation for life.

“Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”

The power to imagine is the power to formulate clear picture of how your future will be painted if you do a particular thing.

With one idea, an empire can be built. Take for example, Walt Disney, a true master at imagination. He got the inspiration for Mickey Mouse from an old pet mouse he used to have on his farm. That black and white mouse became an animated legend. Imagination opens the door to a Kingdom of possibilities!

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

Dare to discover and dare to make mistakes. That’s what divides people from successful and unsuccessful.

You will never learn to conquer the weak sides if we don’t dare to try and be wrong.

“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”

A person of value has ethics, morality, decency, integrity, principles and honesty. All those things one should strive to attain.

“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”

Sometimes a new perspective on the same situation is all it takes to open one’s eyes to what’s possible. The first step is to recognize the dissatisfaction and then take a single action towards satisfaction.

• If you have been unhappy in certain areas of your life such as finances or relationships, opt to do one thing different tomorrow. The idea is to shake up the routine.
• If you have a job that is unfulfilling or that is frustrating on some level, think about what you can do to change the situation.

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

We should strive to make mistakes and gain experience of how “not to” approach particular problem. That’s how experience is gained.

“Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.”

To become an expert at something, learn all you can about that subject, study other’s successes and then aim to do it better than them.

The stronger your commitment and passion is to your endeavor, the greater your resolve will be to succeed.

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