[00:00.29]Advise Proposed by Albert Einstein
[00:05.70]Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life
[00:10.41]are based on the labors of other men, living and dead,
[00:13.78]and that I must exert myself in order to give
[00:16.39]in the same measure as I have received
[00:18.72]and am still receiving.—Albert Einstein
[00:21.60]Albert Einstein was an amazing physicist.
[00:25.10]He figured out so many universal principles and equations
[00:29.27]that he was way ahead of his fellow scientists
[00:31.52]at any point of time.
[00:33.01]But he is also remembered for another thing,
[00:35.97]a quality which made people call him a genius:
[00:39.45]his words. Prof. Einstein was a philosopher
[00:42.73]who clearly understood the laws of success
[00:45.29]and explained them like the way he did with his equations.
[00:48.55]Here is a list of 10 things out of
[00:51.26]the numerously wonderful things he had said;
[00:53.54]10 golden lessons that you can put to use in your everyday life.
[00:57.75]1. A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
[01:02.87]Most people don't try new things because of their fear of failure.
[01:07.37]Failing is not something to be afraid of.
[01:09.98]It is often the losers
[01:11.65]who learn more about winning than the winners.
[01:14.16]Our mistakes always give us opportunities to learn and grow.
[01:18.45]2. Education is what remains after one has forgotten
[01:22.93]what one has learned in school.
[01:24.36]30 years from now, you won't possibly remember
[01:27.48]what chapters you had in your science book;
[01:29.72]you'd only remember what you learn on your way.
[01:32.34]Life lessons stay with you forever.
[01:34.33]Real education starts from within.
[01:36.87]3. I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.
[01:41.83]Imagination is more important than knowledge.
[01:44.88] Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
[01:49.23]When you reflect on how far we humans have come from
[01:52.45]the prehistoric caves to mind-blowing technological advancements,
[01:56.26]you would feel the power of imagination.
[01:59.03]What we have now was built from the imagination of our forefathers.
[02:03.70]What we will have in future will be built from our imagination.
[02:07.97]4. The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
[02:14.08]Creativity and uniqueness often depends on
[02:16.97]how well you hide your sources.
[02:19.42] You can get inspired and influenced by other great people;
[02:22.80] but when you are on stage with the whole world watching,
[02:25.91] you must become a unique,
[02:27.75]individual force that learnt different values from different people.
[02:31.21]5. The value of a man should be seen in what he gives
[02:35.57]and not in what he is able to receive.
[02:38.70]Try not to become a man of success,
[02:41.21]but rather try to become a man of value.
[02:44.97]If you think of all the top people in the world,
[02:48.42]they would have added something of value to the world.
[02:51.12]You must give in order to take.
[02:53.22]When your purpose is contributing or adding value to the world,
[02:56.64]you will be elevated to a higher level of living.
[02:59.60]6. There are two ways to live:
[03:02.84]you can live as if nothing is a miracle;
[03:05.76]you can live as if everything is a miracle.
[03:08.81]When nothing is a miracle,
[03:11.12]you gain the power of doing anything you want
[03:13.92]and you have no limits. And when everything is a miracle,
[03:17.56]you stop by to appreciate even the smallest of
[03:20.61]beautiful things in the world.
[03:22.66]Thinking both ways will give you a productive and happy life.
[03:27.06]7. When I examine myself and my methods of thought,
[03:31.89]I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy
[03:34.96]has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking.
[03:39.69]Dreaming about all the great things
[03:42.62]that you can achieve is the key to a life filled with positivity.
[03:46.24]Let your imagination run amuck and create the world
[03:49.53]that you would wish to be in.
[03:51.08]8. In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep,
[03:55.36]one must above all be a sheep oneself.
[03:57.94]If you want to become a very successful entrepreneur,
[04:01.40]you must start a business right away.
[04:03.59]Wishing to become one, but fearing the consequences will not help.
[04:08.17] The same applies to everything—in order to win a game,
[04:11.56] one must above all play the game.
[04:13.29]9. You have to learn the rules of the game.
[04:16.75]And then you have to play better than anyone else.
[04:19.71]Learn the rules of your game and start playing it best.
[04:22.90]Keep competing like your life depended on it.
[04:25.64]And after a while you will have no one else
[04:28.47]but you to compete against. At that point, better your best.
[04:32.34]10. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
[04:36.30] Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
[04:39.12]Intelligent people ask. Keep questioning yourself
[04:43.13]and others to find solutions.
[04:44.83]This will help gain knowledge and analyze your growth
[04:48.02]in all walks of life.
