Nu am vrut ca educatia mea sa stea in calea invataturii mele.

Albert Einstein

Lucrul cel mai important este sa nu te opresti niciodata sa-ti pui intrebari.

Albert Einstein

Sunt doua lucruri care sunt infinite. Universul si prostia umana, dar despre primul nu sunt chiar asa de sigur.

Albert Einstein

Sa faci acelasi lucru zi de zi si sa astepti rezultate diferite ….

Albert Einstein

Daca stai pe o soba fierbinte timp de un minut iti va parea o ora. Daca stai de vorba cu o fata frumoasa timp de o ora ti se va parea un minut. Aceasta este relativitatea.

COLLECTED QUOTES FROM ALBERT EINSTEIN

• “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”
• “Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.”
• “Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity.”
• “If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.”
• “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the the universe.”
• “As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.”
• “Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.”
• “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

• “No, this trick won’t work…How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?”
• “My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.”
• “Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.”
• “The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking…the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker.”
• “Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.”

• “A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.”
• “The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.”
• “Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me.

That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”

• “You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles.

Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way:

you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.”

• “One had to cram all this stuff into one’s mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year.”
• “…one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one’s own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.”
• “He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.”
• “A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest… a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
• “Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.” (Sign hanging in Einstein’s office at Princeton)
• “You’re aware the boy failed my grade school math class, I take it? And not that many years later he’s teaching college. Now I ask you: Is that the sorriest indictment of the American educational system you ever heard? [pauses to light cigarette.] No aptitude at all for long division, but never mind. It’s him they ask to split the atom. How he talked his way into the Nobel prize is beyond me.  But then, I suppose it’s like the man says, “It’s not what you know…” (Karl Arbeiter: former teacher of Albert Einstein)

Să nu pretindem ca lucrurile să se schimbe dacă tot timpul facem acelaşi lucru.

Criza este cea mai binecuvântată situaţie care poate apărea pentru ţări şi persoane, pentru că ea atrage după sine progrese.

Creativitatea se naşte din necesitate precum şi ziua se naşte din noapte.

În perioada crizei se nasc invenţiile, descoperirile şi marile strategii. Cine depăşeşte criza se depăşeşte pe sine însuşi fără a rămâne depăşit.

Cine atribuie crizei eşecul, îşi ameninţă propriul talent şi respectă mai mult problemele decât soluţiile.

Adevărata criză este criza incompetenţei.

Problema persoanelor şi ţărilor este lenea şi indiferenţa pentru a găsi soluţii şi ieşiri din astfel de situaţii.

Fără criză nu există duel, fără duel viaţa este o rutină, o agonie lentă. Fără criză nu există valoare. În perioada crizei înfloreşte ce-i mai bun în fiecare, pentru că fără criză orice vânt este o mângâiere.

Dacă vorbim de criză o promovăm iar tăcerea este o exaltare a conformismului.

În loc de toate acestea, mai bine să muncim. Să terminăm odată cu singura criză ameninţătoare: tragedia de a nu dori să luptăm pentru a o depăşi.

Albert Einstein

Orice afacere are în mod firesc secretele ei particulare.

Dar poţi face orice afacere dacă cunoşti secretele general valabile!

Poţi să mergi şi pe întuneric,

dar parcă mai bine este să mergi pe lumină!

Orice afacere are nevoie de o minte creatoare. De un suflu imaginativ. Orice afacere are nevoie de imaginaţie, de o persoană puternică, capabilă să vizualizeze scenarii şi rezultate, să îşi poată imagina punerea în practică a paşilor necesari pentru a obţine ceea ce şi-a imaginat mai întâi.

Spunea bine celebrul Napoleon Hill că: „Imaginaţia este în adevăratul sens al cuvântului atelierul în care prind formă toate planurile oamenilor”

Orice poate concepe

şi crede un om în mintea lui,

este realizabil

(Napoleon Hill)

Imaginaţia este un instrument pe care fiecare om îl are la îndemână. Nu trebuie să ne naştem cu acest atribut, ni-l putem forma şi dezvolta pe parcurs.

Pentru ca imaginaţia să poată funcţiona, trebuie să credem în puterea ei şi mai ale în necesitatea ei.

Albert Einstein, printre multiplele sale preocupări, nu a uitat să menţioneze acest mic ingredient secret: Imaginaţia. El concide astfel că; „Imaginaţia este totul. Este avanpremiera atracţiilor viitoare ale vieţii.”

Imaginaţia

este mai importantă decât

cunoaşterea.

Cunoaşterea este limitată,

imaginaţia înconjoară lumea.

(Albert Einstein)

Suntem înconjuraţi de minuni. Viaţa în sine este o minune. Omul este o minune. Toate îşi au rostul, însă, şi în imaginaţie. Fără nu ar fi fost nimic. Nu am fi fost. Orice afacere nu este şi nu va fi dacă nu ne-o imaginăm. Nu va funcţiona dacă eliminăm din imaginaţie acest ingredient.

Imaginaţia nu poate fi francizată. „Imaginaţia nu este decât fructul memoriei noastre” aşa cum bine spunea Pierre Bonnard.

Imaginaţia este începutul creaţiei!

George Bernard Shaw
