A, Einstein Says to You



--- Albert Einstein, Princeton, N.J.: 1879-1955

the seventeen laws of personal discovery.

Flashing a searchlight on quotes of a great-man

or woman through their letters, biographies and

speeches, is a dance through their lives.

A non-scientist cannot appreciate his math and physics,

and I do not intend to try. But after studying these seventeen Einstein quotes - AE programs your

mind with new structure and function to see further

and clearer.

An editor must make decisions. Help me decide which

of these seventeen quotes you think deserves to be listed in the Quotation Hall-Of Fame. Let each one roll around in your mind until it offers a metaphor and association from your own life.

Here is one from a private conversation that did not make the cut. See if you can ignore its message.

- I am a pacifist, yet the cosmos dislikes labels. I hear Israel and the United States maligned because of their Might to resist.

Have you noticed that only the Strong are free?

Does Might-Make-Right?

Philosophy aside, I see no Right-Nation without Might.

I choose the United States and Israel with their Might to remain Free. Call me pisher, I am a pacifist with good sense. -

The Seventeen Einstein Messages are:

1. Experiencing is Knowledge...

Everything else is Information!

2. Two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity. And I am not sure about the universe!

3. Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

4. Not everything that counts can be counted. And not everything that can be counted - counts!

5. Imagination is more important than knowledge. One fades into obscurity in five-years, the other connects to the cosmos.

6. Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

7. I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.

8. If you are correct, make-a-prediction and we shall see.

9. Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new!

10. The definition of insanity is continuing to repeat the same actions and expecting a different result!

11. There are two ways to live your

life. One is as though nothing is a

miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. Choose.

12. If you want to live a happy life,

tie it to a Goal, not people or objects.

13. Examples isn't another way to teach, it is the only way to teach.

14. When you put your hand on the stove for a minute, it feels like an hour.

And when a pretty girl sits on your lap

for an hour, it feels like a minute.

That is the theory of Relativity.

15. You cannot solve a problem from

the same level in which it was created.

16. The only reason for Time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.

17. A genius is effective because he focuses his attention on the vital-few things, and ignores the trivial-many.

See: Vilfredo Pareto: the 80/20 rule.

*We suggest you discover how to 3x your learning speed, and 2x your long-term memory - to release your sui generis gifts and talents.

Speed Reading is your secret tool for success.

See ya.

Re: Disney to refund Baby Einstein DVDs for Marketing Blunder - I have to say I'm very interested in this. My nephew is 13 months and absolutely loves is Baby Einstein DVDs. I can't speak for other enfants or caregivers, but I know for a fact through these DVDs he was able to learn new words and actions. I think for Disney its a rebranding issue. I believe the current consumers of these videos will probably continue to watch them. And I have to say a lot of it is word of mouth, before he was born I knew nothing about this stuff, but now I probably know far too much and its all because of the information I've been given.
Re: History of Women in Business in the United States - Nice read. I feel a few things were left out. At a time in American history it was illegal for a women to do many things. Not only did they need a man to stand up for them, but they needed him to sign bank documents etc.. for the women in question. Not long ago in our history a women did not have a bank account. This was a slap in the face for the woman's husband or father. My state of Oregon is supposedly had a very strong women, a madam, contribute to the establishment of our state. Of course this is seen as a very old business but a business a women were able to run in the back alleys, and as I have read, in the underground here in Oregon. Mileva Mari? was a women in our history that in her own right contributed to America with her mathematics and physics smarts. Born disabled and "homely", her rich parents sent her to many fine schools where she was (it has been said), the only women in these establishments. Since her father did not think she would ever get married seeing how she was, I bet he was a happy camper when Albert Einstein married her. I feel, with no hesitations if it were not for Mileva Mari?, Albert would not be in the history books as he is now. I feel since in the day women were not supposed to have a brain, nor be allowed to publish their own work, that her husband took her work and published it as his own. The Pendleton Roundup , (a huge rodeo here in Oregon), banned women from the rodeo due to "unlady like" behavior around the 1900's. Hence barrel racing took hold as the ONLY women event. In WWII women were the ones who were the welders etc.. women were the ones to take on the jobs of men who were fighting for our country. Once the war was over, women had to relinquish their jobs to the men. One such women was in my sons family, and I got to hear first hand how things were. I like to bring up Emily Dickinson as well, as for women who changed who women are. Women helped establish equal rites here in America. Women along with the black society fought for equal rites. A white women had the same rites as a black person here in America, thus it was only common sense to help with the equal rites movement. Again running into a women who was there. I feel Oprah Winfrey is passing down a history of strong women. Strong women who have always been. She has just stepped it up to modern times. Women rites is not a white nor black issue, it is a women, man issue. Women have done so much for America, sorry to say to find information which gives credit where credit is due when the husband is a big name, or when the establishment is huge, it takes some digging. Women in history have done bigger and better things than the girls of today are taught in schools. Bigger and better then beauty products, or cooking. Women have been, and always will be the back bone of America and American Business.
