Albert Einstein

Though he was considered to be one of the best minds in history, Albert Einstein created an image different from the probable one. He spoke his first words at the age of four, he was a quiet and a very bad student, and during his studies he regularly did not show up to class. The rest of the professors considered him to be a "a real slacker". He was often, as all through his life, inattentive, confused, disorganized, and he often daydreamed. In an educational system where others dictated the tempo and curriculum material, he began to realize that what he is asked to do is not what he has to offer.

“…I noticed shortly that I was pleased with being a mediocre student. A good student must possess the fluency to understand, good will to center all his strengths into a lecture, consistency to elaborate all lectures in writing, and consciously ponder them afterwards. I regretfully agreed that I lacked these traits.”

He managed to graduate from university, which he thought of as "the torturing duty", thanks to his friend from whom he used to copy class notes. During that same time, he showed tremendous willpower and interest for everything he was attracted to. At the end of his studies, he commented:

“For a dreamer like me, university studies were not always a blessing. If we are forced to constantly eat selected meals, we can permanently spoil our stomach and lose our appetite. Luckily, in my case, this intellectual depression, after the completion of my studies, lasted no more than a year. ”

Einstein's personality was affected markedly by the traits of a wandering mind, emotional passion and conceptual thinking. A very distinct emotional state made young Einstein passionate and gave him a profound feeling of the world through which he gained a sense of wandering and mystique. This was an opportunity for him to use the hyper focus to penetrate deeply into things he was fascinated by, or which he observed with marvel. Powerful emotions reflected on his thoughts and his conscience, which means he would become almost obsessive. This was making him an artist in his territory. Conceptual thinking, together with daydreaming, would enable him to visualize the physical world in an unusual way, and this would give him a possibility to have a faster and different view of what he would think about.

„I never came up with a discovery by rational thinking only.“

„The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge."

The thing that produced unusual traits with Einstein (he was ascribed with autism, ADHD, dyslexia) was nothing but his giftedness - highly curious, imaginative, clever, emotive and most important - a healthy and a normal mind. This way of experiencing the world, and reacting to it, made Einstein, Einstein, to whom the characteristics of a playful child, not a grown up man, provided the opportunity to explore, perceive and in the end understand our reality. His work proved his statement:

“Imagination is much more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.“

„It is almost a miracle that modern teaching methods have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for what this delicate little plant needs more than anything, besides stimulation, is freedom.“
