I love Albert Einstein and I love Paulo Coelho. So when Coelho posted these ten lessons from Einstein on his blog I was immediately sold đ
1. Follow Your Curiosity:Â âI have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.â
2. Perseverance is Priceless: âItâs not that Iâm so smart; itâs just that I stay with problems longer.â
3. Focus on the Present: âAny man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.â
4. Imagination is Powerful: âImagination is everything. It is the preview of lifeâs coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.â
5. Make Mistakes: âA person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.â
6. Live in the Moment: âI never think of the future â it comes soon enough.â
7. Create Value: âStrive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.â
8. Donât Be Repetitive: âInsanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.â
9. Knowledge Comes From Experience: âInformation is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.â
10. Learn the Rules and Then Play Better: âYou have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.â
Which is your favorite lesson?
