“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein, a German-born physicist, has been widely regarded as one of the greatest minds and physicists of all time. In December 1932, he emigrated to the United States, renouncing his German citizenship after Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany.
In 1921, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to theoretical physics and discovery of the photoelectric effect.
Einstein was best known for developing the theory of relativity and the mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc2, often dubbed “the world’s most famous equation”.

During his life, he made many sayings about science, education, religion and life that continue to resonate today:
“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”
“Logic will get you from A to Z, imagination will get you everywhere.”
“Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.”
“It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”
“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
“Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.”
“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.”
Einstein’s words have inspired generations around the world to live life fully, and in a more positive, self aware and rewarding manner.
