1. To learn knowledge, you must be good at thinking, thinking, and thinking again. This is how I became a scientist.
Einstein told us that the most important external factor in becoming a scientist is to be diligent in thinking. Einstein himself spent almost all his time thinking about the truth of the universe.
2. As soon as we came into the world, society raised a huge question mark in front of us. How do you spend your life? I never regard comfort and enjoyment as the purpose of life itself.
I believe everyone has had questions about where to go in life. It's just that there is no perfect answer yet. Most people are addicted to pleasure and a comfortable life because of their desires and preferences, but Einstein believed that the purpose of life is at least not that way.
3. I must try my best to repay in equal measure what I have received and what I am still receiving. I had a strong yearning for a frugal life, and I often found it unbearable to find myself appropriating too much of the labor of my fellow men.
The greater you are, the smaller you feel, and the more you return to your original nature. Einstein yearned for an extremely simple life, and that was exactly what he himself was.
4. Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, promotes progress, and is the source of knowledge evolution. Seriously, imagination is a real factor in scientific research.
Imagination can freely roam the universe, unfettered and boundless. And knowledge is dead after all, so imagination is more important than knowledge.
5. Success = hard work, the right way, and less empty words.
Einstein told us that the three most important factors for success are: hard work, correct methods, and less empty words.
6. Between genius and diligence, I choose diligence without hesitation. It is the birth mother of almost all achievements in the world.
Talent is important, but diligence is more important than diligence. Einstein compared diligence to "the mother-in-law of all achievements."
7. The value of life should depend on what he contributes, not what he obtains.
What is the true value of human beings? Is it a great material achievement? On the contrary, a person's value is reflected in how much he contributes to society, rather than how much he takes from society.
8. The ideals that inspire me and always fill me with joy in life are truth, goodness and beauty.
In Einstein’s view, the most beautiful state of life is to achieve the state of truth, goodness and beauty.
9. Whoever presents himself as a judge in the realm of truth and knowledge will be destroyed by the laughter of God.
Humility is always a quality that a great man should have. In the field of knowledge, there is never any so-called authority.
10. No matter what the trend of the times and social fashions are, people can always rely on their noble qualities to transcend the times and society and follow their own correct path.
Noble quality, that is, noble spirit, can transcend any era and always support human progress.
