The only real valuable thing is intuition.- Albert Einstein
Did you know...?
He didn't really speak until he was 3 years old. He felt he couldn't get the words right!
Upon looking at his baby sister Maja for first time, he asked,
"Yes, but where are the wheels?"
He really didn't flunk math...in fact, he taught himself calculus at the age of 12!
He did not graduate from high school.
He did not receive a doctorate from Zurich Polytechnic.
He flunked a Physics course.
And...he had no use for mathematics. At least at first. You see,
he really didn't see the realtionship between math and physics until later! A point he later regretted. In fact, he needed tutoring before he developed the Theory of Relativity!
