“Unleash the Einstein Beast in You”
Einstein has the great qualities in
himself in which transform him into one of the world famous genius. But,
sometimes talent is not the one that specifies ones intelligent-at least not
the major of them. The good news is you also can increase your own intelligent
potential by practices. Well, the other part, it is not that simple as you
think. It needs discipline, patience and determination. But stated here are the
simple and practical Einstein’s qualities that could be practiced.
Einstein
says,
1. “Imagination is more important than knowledge”
According to him, knowledge is not
the only components that contribute to the mind intelligent. Imagination plays
the biggest part of it. The fundamental thing is, imagination is unlimited.
Ones knowledge on particular stuffs is often limited but imagination has no
boundaries. You create your own visuals in your mind on anything, on any
possible ways you could imagine. The secret is the mixing of knowledge and
imagination. Imagination with knowledge, it is time bomb.
2. “The important thing is not to stop
questioning”
The point here is always questioning any answer you have
already knows. Never expect there’s an absolute correct answer on every fact
you gained. Remember the history of Galileo in which he was bashed by the whole
society for questioning and his support over the Copernican astronomy which
rejected the idea of the church that claimed the earth is the center of the
universe. It is always good to questioning every answer than to know every
answer.
3. “We can’t solve problems by using the
same kind of thinking
used when we created them”
Simply said; old problems, new
thinking. Problems that remain unsolved need a new thinking solution. If the
solution we used to “solve” the problem is not work out as what we expect,
so the only way is by finding the new
type of solution rather than keep applying the same thinking hundred times.
There are many solutions to one problem, exactly. So be creative and keep
trying.
4. “The only real valuable thing is
intuition”
Follow your instinct because that’s the only real thing that
comes from inner you. Einstein discovered his theories basically because he
followed his own instinct. The great and originality result came if you put
your trust in yourself first and foremost. Probably your instinct sometimes
became tricky but it is worth of try. So do what you think is right and dare to
face all the consequences because no one is right enough for you instead of yourself.
5. “Weakness of attitude becomes
weakness of character”
This statement is the matter of positive attitude. Your
attitude defines who you are and the success of the result of your work or idea
depends highly on your attitude. Attitude as well could be developed. Cast
aside all the negative issues that grab you down and practice good deeds as
well as positive thinking and attitude as a whole.
6. “Anyone who was never made mistake
has never tried anything new”
Keep trying and try and try and try and try and try and at
some point then you failed. What makes ones hero is whether he quit or try
harder. Wait, instead of using “try harder” it is more appropriate to use “try
smarter”. The principle is to know that the failure is not the opposite of
success but it is/are the path towards success. Remember if Thomas Edison gave
up despite the thousand times of failure, we would not see the light bulb
today.
7. “If A is success then A equals x+y+z.
Work is X, Y is play and Z is keeping your mouth shut”
Well, such a cool equation. If the E=MC^2 is the powerful
equation for massive destruction, then X+Y+Z=A is the powerful equation to
maintain the balance in your life. The rule is to know that you need to keep
balance in any aspect of your life including work. If you play, play like a
toddler when he first time could run. Study to the fullest as the same level as
the PhD professor. Date your girl as you are the sweetest man on earth. Keep
all in balance.

8. Take a nap
(Einstein always did this in the afternoon, took 30 minutes to 1 hour napping.
This proven to put your brain and mind to rest and improve your memory)
