Quote:

Albert Einstein has long been considered a genius by the masses. He was a theoretical physicist, philosopher, author, and is perhaps the most influential scientists to ever live.

Einstein has made great contributions to the scientific world, including the theory of relativity, the founding of relativistic cosmology, the prediction of the deflection of light by gravity, the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids, the zero-point energy concept, and the quantum theory of a monotonic gas which predicted Bose–Einstein condensation, to name a few of his scientific contributions.

1. Follow Your Curiosity

1. “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”
   
   What piques your curiosity? I am curious as to what causes one person to succeed while another person fails; this is why I’ve spent years studying success. What are you most curious about? The pursuit of your curiosity is the secret to your success.
2. Perseverance is Priceless
   “It's not that I'm so smart; it's just that I stay with problems longer.”
   
   Through perseverance the turtle reached the ark. Are you willing to persevere until you get to your intended destination? They say the entire value of the postage stamp consist in its ability to stick to something until it gets there. Be like the postage stamp; finish the race that you’ve started!
3. Focus on the Present
   “Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”
   
   My father always says you cannot ride two horses at the same time. I like to say, you can do anything, but not everything. Learn to be present where you are; give your all to whatever you’re currently doing.
   
   
   Focused energy is power, and it’s the difference between success and failure.
4. The Imagination is Powerful
   “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
   
   Are you using your imagination daily? Einstein said the imagination is more important than knowledge! Your imagination pre-plays your future. Einstein went on to say, “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination.” Are you exercising your “imagination muscles” daily, don’t let something as powerful as your imagination lie dormant.
5. Make Mistakes
   “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”
   
   Never be afraid of making a mistake. A mistake is not a failure. Mistakes can make you better, smarter and faster, if you utilize them properly. Discover the power of making mistakes. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, if you want to succeed, triple the amount of mistakes that you make.
6. Live in the Moment
   “I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.”
   
   The only way to properly address your future is to be as present as possible “in the present.”
   
   
   
   You cannot “presently” change yesterday or tomorrow, so it’s of supreme importance that you dedicate all of your efforts to “right now.” It’s the only time that matters, it’s the only time there is.
7. Create Value
   “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."
   
   Don’t waste your time trying to be successful, spend your time creating value. If you’re valuable, then you will attract success.
   
   
   
   
   Discover the talents and gifts that you possess, learn how to offer those talents and gifts in a way that most benefits others.
   
   
   
   
   Labor to be valuable and success will chase you down.
   
   
   
   
8. Don’t Expect Different Results
   “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
   
   You can’t keep doing the same thing everyday and expect different results. In other words, you can’t keep doing the same workout routine and expect to look differently. In order for your life to change, you must change, to the degree that you change your actions and your thinking is to the degree that your life will change.
9. Knowledge Comes From Experience
   “Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.”
   
   Knowledge comes from experience. You can discuss a task, but discussion will only give you a philosophical understanding of it; you must experience the task first hand to “know it.” What’s the lesson? Get experience! Don’t spend your time hiding behind speculative information, go out there and do it, and you will have gained priceless knowledge.
   
10. Learn the Rules and Then Play Better
    “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”
    
    To put it all in simple terms, there are two things that you must do. The first thing you must do is to learn the rules of the game that you’re playing. It doesn’t sound exciting, but it’s vital. Secondly, you must commit to play the game better than anyone else. If you can do these two things, success will be yours!

Awsome post Space. As I get older, I TRY to slow down and live in the now. Wishing it where some time in the future (I wish it where Friday, I wish it where next week cause I am on vaction ect..) I found myself wishing my life away.

I look outside today, an beautiful day here and Lansing and am happy for a job that lets me work at my own pace (Most of the time) and from home. My office at work has no windows. I used to be self consious of leaving my desk and just standing on the porch at work to smell the air and feel the sun. Not amymore. I leave my desk ever so often and even take a walk in the parking lot to streach my legs and clear my head.

How to be a good person ?
How to become a good person? With the numerous laws our world have established, becoming a good guy, boy or girl is not easy. Once you break laws from the government, from your community or even from your home, you will already be considered a bad person. Nevertheless, laws are not the reason why there are many bad people in this world. With or without laws, people will still hurt people, and they will still hurt their selves. Becoming a good person is not just abiding the good laws, but it is more on preserving the purpose of those laws. The following are steps and ways to completely turn you into a good person.

Have good eyes
A good person is a good watcher. Keep your eyes on things that produce good things. Read books, articles, news and other pieces of writing that can make you a good person. Watch shows, movies and other presentations that can turn you a good guy. Moreover, utilize your eyes on taking care and helping others. Remember that your eye is the lamp of your body. Therefore, if you always see good things, you will have a good light to your body. However, this doesn’t mean you should absolutely close your eyes on things that are considered bad. Sometimes, we learn from terrible things. The rule is that you must avoid seeing things that can corrupt your good character.

Have good ears
A good person is a good listener. Listen to discussions, speeches and even music that influence you good things. It’s not in the sound, but it is in the message. Furthermore, use your ears to show care, love and compassion. It’s not whom you listen, but it is how you listen. You must also use your ears with justice and righteousness. Thus, you should always hear carefully the both sides, before you make a judgment.

Have a good mind
A good person is a good thinker. Therefore, you should have good thoughts and plans. What you see, what you read and what you heard – think good of them. Good thinking means using your knowledge and ideas to show love and kindness to yourself and to other people. It does not plan evil; instead, it plans to overcome evil. A good person also has a peaceful and enlightened mind.

Have a good heart
A good person has good intentions. Thus, you should choose to be good, and make that decision a cheerful one. A good heart is one that is selfless, rather than selfish. The owner of a good heart does not hurt the heart of other people. This is because it is prudent, pure, gentle and loving. Even if you watch, listen, tell and mind people, if you don’t have good intentions, your efforts wouldn’t still bear good fruits. Hence, support your eyes, ears, tongue and mind with a pure heart.

Have a good mouth
A good person has good words. He talks with justice and not with foolishness. If you want to become a good person, you should always be gentle and be wise in your words. Furthermore, your mouth should coordinate with your mind, heart and actions. This means that you should be true to your words. Also, a person who is always silent doesn’t mean he is good. To become a real good man you should also know how to teach, preach and rebuke people for their own good.

Have good hands
A good person has good actions. Your good plans, intentions and words must be put in actions. Your good principles in mind, your kindness in heart and your words of wisdom must be worked out and produce good fruits. Without executions your careful eyes, understanding ears, knowledgeable brain, compassionate heart and gracious words will not bear results. If you really want to become a good one, you should act in good hands.

Have a good spirit
A good person has a good foundation. To ensure that you become a good person, you should have a good base. This means that all your principles, values and attitudes should be based on good spiritual things, such as love, compassion, humility, self-control, peacefulness, forgiveness, faithfulness and joy. You must depart from the earthly and evil things, such as greed, wrath, deceit, pride and envy. Determining the righteousness of your foundation can be done through prayer, mediation, reflection, and finding your inner self.

Have a good soul
A good person has a good life. To complete your quest to become a good man or a good woman, you must combine all the goodness in yourself (your thoughts, intentions, words, actions and foundations) to form a good life. Furthermore, they should also have consistency and completeness. Thus, you must not only become good for a while, but you should try your best to stay good for all the time. A good soul is one that unites your body (eyes, ears, mouth, heart and head) and spirit into a good person. This also means that you need to assure that all of them are good. This is because if one of them will turn bad, it might corrupt the others and ruin the goodness of your entirety. That is why you must always assure that you are a pure good.
By making good all parts in you that makes you a person, you will simply become good. Though it’s simple, it’s not that easy. But life is made difficult so that we could have the ability to do what is difficult. We are created to do the greater things, which are the good things. We are not created to do the wicked things, which are evil. Finally, we are here in this world to become good and great people.
