"What we do here is the painting of the Portrait of Einstein - the man, the scientist, his effect on the world - through his writings", Roni Grosz, Archivist of Einstein at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said the meaning of the memo. "It's a stone in the mosaic."
How to be happy, according to Albert Einstein
A 1922 rating containing the undisclosed theory has just sold $ 1.3 million.
Albert Einstein has many famous quotes, which you have probably grew up looking in a class poster:
Insanity: do the same thing again and again and wait for different results.
Life is like cycling. To keep your balance, you must continue moving.
Try not to become a successful man, but rather try to become a man of value.
But there is a piece of crucial wisdom - the secret of happiness - that he had not shared ... until he was recently discovered among written notes at a letter in 1922.
According toseveral-reportedThe physicist remained at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo while during a tour of Japan conferences. At that time, the 43-year-old child was already famous and respected in his field, just won the Nobel Prize for Physics the previous year. It seems that even the winners of the Nobel Prize can make simple mistakes, however, and the scientist ended up without any purpose to give his Bellboy hotel. So, instead, two notes, on which he wrote the keys to live a happy and dissatisfied life.
"Maybe if you're lucky, these notes will become much more useful than a regular advice," said it.
He was also right since Tuesday on Tuesday, the note sold $ 1.3 million at the winner's auction house in Jerusalem, Israel, to a European who wanted to remain anonymous. It was far exceeded the estimated price, which was only $ 5,000 to $ 8,000,The auction house reported.
So what did the notes say?
One of its quoted maxims were held:When we want we can. This sold for only $ 240, OOO, depending on the auction house.
But the other said something that had already been lost for the annals of history:A calm and modest life brings more joy than a continuation of success related to constant disorders.
Ok, so yes, maybe it's not really much better than what you would receive from a fortune biscuit, but it's a bit interesting to hear a man who has become a revolutionary historical figure because of his tireless pursuit of science. Einstein, in a way, indicating that he wanted to have a simpler and less ambitious life?
