It is well known that Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists of all time and he
was also a really great person. Here are some interesting things about him.
When Einstein started to work in America, someone asked him what he needed. He said
he needed a desk, some paper and a pencil. He also asked for a big waste-paper basket to
hold all of his mistakes. This shows that he knew even the cleverest man in the world can
only learn by making mistakes.
Einstein regarded time as very important. He never wore socks and he thought putting
on socks was a waste of time as people already wore shoes. He also thought it was a waste
of time remembering things that could quickly be found in a book. That's why he never
remembered his own phone number, which was in the phone book. He knew what was worth
remembering. It is true that if we are going to do great things in our lives, we can not waste
our time.
Einstein liked to joke too. Once in an exam a student asked him why all the questions
were the same as last year's. Einstein replied the questions were the same but the answers
were different!
