Building Perspectives: Drawing Inspiration from the Greatest

Let's kickstart the year by building the best foundation - 'Perspective'

And who better to learn from than one of the greatest minds - Dr Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein's wife often suggested that he dress more professionally when he headed off to work.

"Why should I?" he would invariably argue. "Everyone knows me there."?

When the time came for Einstein to attend his first major conference, she begged him to dress up a bit.

"Why should I?" said Einstein. "No one knows me there!"

Albert Einstein was often asked to explain the general theory of relativity.

"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour," he once declared. "Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity!"

When Albert Einstein was working at Princeton university, one day on his way back home he forgot the address to his residence. The driver of the cab did not recognize him. Einstein asked the driver if he knows Einstein's home.

The driver said "Who does not know Einstein's address? Everyone in Princeton knows. Do you want to meet him?

Einstein replied "I am Einstein. I forgot my home address; can you take me there? "

The driver drove him home and did not even collect the fare from him.

Einstein was once travelling from Princeton on a train when the conductor came down the aisle, punching the tickets of every passenger. When he came to Einstein, Einstein reached into the pocket of his vest. He couldn't find his ticket, so he reached into the pockets of his trousers. It wasn't there, so he looked in his briefcase but couldn't find it. Then he looked in the seat beside him. He still couldn't find it.

The conductor said, 'Dr. Einstein, I know who you are. We all know who you are. I'm sure you bought a ticket. Don't worry about it.'

Einstein nodded appreciatively. The conductor continued down the aisle punching tickets. As he was ready to move to the next car, he turned around and saw the great physicist down on his hands and knees looking under his seat for his ticket.

The conductor rushed back and said, 'Dr Einstein, Dr Einstein, don't worry, I know who you are. No problem. You don't need a ticket. I'm sure you bought one.'

Einstein looked at him and said, 'Young man, I too, know who I am. What I don't know is where I'm going.'

When Einstein met Charlie Chaplin:

Einstein said,?"What I admire most about your art, is its universality. You do not say a word, and yet ... the world understands you."

“It's true,” replied Charlie Chaplin,?

"But your fame is even greater: The world admires you when nobody understands you.".
