Incredible Story

He couldn’t speak until he was 4.

His parents feared he was mentally handicapped.

He couldn’t read until age 7.?

Teachers said he was “unsocial” and “adrift forever in foolish dreams.”

As a teen, Albert Einstein rebelled in school. He tried to test his way into Zurich Polytechnic … and failed.?

Einstein tried again. This time he passed.

In 1901, Einstein submitted his doctoral thesis to the University of Zurich.

In that paper, Albert tried to debunk old ideas by Boltzmann, one of the great theoretical physicists of the 1800s.?

His thesis was rejected.

He tried again. This time he got his doctorate ...?

... but couldn’t find a job.

Desperate, Albert Einstein tried to get hired as a school teacher to support himself.

The school gave the job to someone else.?

Unemployed, Einstein depended on his father for income to support his fiancee, Mileva, and infant daughter.

Mileva wanted to get married, but alas, Einstein was too poor to marry her.

In September 1903, Einstein lost his only child - a baby daughter - to scarlet fever.?

Einstein was stuck for years thereafter working at a patent office ... far below his qualifications as a PhD.

Every day, Einstein hustled to finish his assignments early. That gave him hours to work on his puzzles. He did this for years.?

By 1921, the physics world realized the weight of Einstein’s discoveries.

Einstein won the Nobel Prize for publishing the Theory of Relativity - mostly crafted in his head.

Einstein spent the rest of his life advancing his understanding of Relativity.

In his lifetime, only a handful of physicists in the world could grasp the importance of his work.?

Today, Einstein is called the father of modern physics.

Truth is, he changed our view of the universe.?

Now ...

... maybe you’re struggling with some area of your business (or life).?

You’re TRYING HARD ...

... but it’s tough.?

There are failures.

Other people have it easier, no doubt.?

So I just want to take the time to say ...

... in case no one’s told you …?

Don’t give up.

You CAN do this.?

See you in the trenches!
