The secret of happiness was discovered!
In 1922, Albert Einstein was on a tour through Japan to support several conferences. During this trip, the scientist said that he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics, which overwhelmed him and inspired him to write his thoughts in his hotel room.
He was staying at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, when a courier came to bring him a parcel. He did not have any change available to tip the courier. Instead, Einstein offered the courier as a gift two handwritten notes in German, containing the secret of happiness.
Albert Einstein seems to have advised the courier to keep his message by saying to him: "Maybe if you're lucky, these notes will become more valuable than just a regular tip." And that's how it happened!
Are you curious to know the secret of happiness in the opinion of this scholar? Then I do not keep you in suspense, and I reveal the wise words of it.
"A quiet and modest life brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant unrest."
"Where there’s a will, there’s a way", he wrote on another sheet.
The secret of happiness, according to Einstein was revealed after almost 100 years when the grandson of that courier contacted an auction house to sell the notes. The identity of the buyer was not disclosed, but it is known that he provided $ 1.8 million on both notes. The first one ranged from $ 5000-8000, but finally reached $ 1.5 million. The second note was sold for $ 240,000.
What do you think of the messages written by Albert Einstein? Do you really think his words are the secret of happiness?
