Albert Einstein was a weird guy... He didnt think like other people, he was somwhat of a free spirit. He wasn't very well groomed and he couldnt talk very well untill he was about 7 ish....Yet just about everyone considers him a genius, I don't diagree. It's just that if I acted like albert Einstein I would not be called a genius I would be called crazy. Why is that?
Albert Eisten is not the only eccentric genius..there were many others whos names I connot think og right now. Think of some shall you. And please discuss my previous statement....

Everyone has two sides: the perfect side, and the imperfect side...

So Einstein, although intelligent, has messy hair style.
Napoleon, although brilliant, was short.
If a person is too perfect, e.g. Alexander the Great, smart and good looking, he would die early...
(so wouldn't you rather have messy hair or being short?)

We are all geniuses. It's just we are the kind of geniuses who shows more imperfectness than perfectness (still, I think, it beat dying early).

Hitler was brilliant, but had a hobby of killing other people.

I was once told that genious is on the edge of insanity

but I think insanity and genious are usually together

Yes I agree

Was einstein not dyslexic?

I am also proud to say he was left handed

Einstein wasn't clever I don't think, I think he just had a great imagaination.

[Pimienta]

usually the imagination and how clever you are go together

for example if you weren't so imaginative we would have never noticed that sunday was really wensday spelled backward

that was very clever

Albert Einstein once said, " Imagination is more important than knowladge"
thats actualy a pretty popular quote


edit: I had the quote wrong for ever and I just noticed, I can't belive no one corrected me

He also said, "Brilliant minds are often some against violent opposition from mediocre minds" or something like that. Have to go to school to find out.

[GoodGrief]

That could be read two ways. Either you need to confirm the quote at school, or the realisation of the truth of this quotation does not come until one has pitted one's brilliant mind against some teacher's mediocre mind and found violent opposition. I know which interpretation I'd read into it. (Anyone else had one of those teachers who is, quite frankly, dumb?)

[nowhere man]

yes, I have defintly had dumb teachers. But why does that matter?

[GoodGrief]

Me and my friends in highschool had a policy that whatever we were whispering/passing notes to each other it had to be more intelligent/important than what the teacher was waffling on about. Disappointingly, this was very rarely hard.

[nowhere man]

thats a good policy. I think I will abopt it as my own.

Einstien once said (I'm not sure about the exact wording)
"There are only two infinite things. The human stupidity and the universe. And I am not sure about the universe."

[trumpetprodigy]

Einstien was the only one in his class not recommended to become a proffessor, so he got a job as a patent office worker. He did some of his most famous work during that time period.
