We humans live in the constant search for happiness and spend hours thinking about how we could achieve success. The intrigue is so great that thousands of scientists have spent their lives researching that it makes us happy, because we are happy and that success has to do with happiness.... is it the same for everyone? One of these scientists was Albert Einstein who revealed his theory of"happiness" on a small sheet of paper written by himself.
The physicist was on a tour of Japan in 1922 after being awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics, at that time Einstein who is known for his theory of relativity wrote two short notes in his native language (German) which he gave as a "tip" to a young man. It is said that at that time Einstein had no money or change to give the young man.
Einstein's notes contained the physicist's perspective on success and happiness. The note said a quiet and modest life attracts more joy than a search for success linked to constant discontent". Is that understood? Many will not, but perhaps what Einstein means is that happiness is relative. That can range from choosing a balance between a busy schedule and a stress-free life to starting your slow days and ending them with stress. As I mentioned before, it's relative. Each person has their own perspective of joy and how they want to reach it will depend on them. However, many times it is difficult because you don't know how to balance your life.
In Einstein's second note we read the words"where there is a will, there is a way" which speak for themselves. On this strange and confusing path we call life, there is no way to reach a goal if we do not set ourselves a goal and work on it. We must be constant, we must be willing to do everything we can to achieve that dream or goal. The first step will not automatically get you where you want to be, but it will get you out of where you are now and open the way for the next steps.
These Einstein notes were sold for a little over $80,000 here the link and although we don't yet know how much these notes might cost in the future, it is unquestionably wise and priceless advice.
It's amazing how that little Japanese boy never imagined that such notes would cost thousands of dollars many years after that scientist gave them to him. Who'd have thought it was true?
What do you think of this? Are you in agreement? I am the one who smiles and has a good attitude most of the day because there is no point in wasting bitter hours, remember that this is the only life you have, you better appreciate it.
