Albert Einstein had a formula for success

If it's measurable it's manageable, so one of the greatest minds of all time developed a mathematical formula for success! Read this carefully—this may be the most important math equation you will ever see.

Einstein said, "If A equals success, then the formula is: A=X+Y+Z.

Einstein no doubt had an excellent sense of humor. So let's look at the 3 variables in this equation.

1. Work 2. Play 3. Keeping your mouth shut!

1. Work: Albert Einstein had a tremendous work ethic (daily discipline of action, focus, determination and persistence) and because of his high ethics, he gave more to society and modern science than any person in recent times.

2. Play: Einstein, did NOT work 24/7 but rather he made time for fun and relaxation. His concept of fun may be different from yours or mine, none-the-less, he devoted some of his life and time to having what he perceives to be fun.

3. Keeping your mouth shut: This one is my personal favorite. The reason we have 2 ears and 1 mouth is so that we listen twice as much as we speak.
I genuinely believe that the person who speaks the least says the most!

I sometimes hear of those who complain that their partner (male of female) speaks too much. The real reason he's irritated is not that he/she talks too much. It quite simply: he/she is irritated that they aren't able to talk. People who talk too much like talking alot so eventually they will speak in circles repeating themselves and eventually contradicting themselves. This desire and need to speak is often not to hear but to be heard.

Albert Einstein, however, had nothing to prove to anyone. He had no need to be the "Chatty" and showcase his s knowledge. It wasn't important to him to demonstrate his IQ to anyone he met. But rather, he learned the value and power of solitude and quiet.

Practice this week shifitng your mind-set from being a talker to a listener. It's been said that you can make more friends in five minutes by becoming interested in others than you can make in five years of trying to get others interested in you! Read the last sentence AGAIN!!

How do you become interested in others? You ask questions about them and then CLOSE YOUR MOUTH SHUT!

Dale Carnegie in his best-selling book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" said, "one of the key premises of this book was that everyone's favorite subject is actually themselves and that the sweetest sound to their ears is the sound of their own name."

Einstein knew this and used this skill. He realized he could influence others by selecting his location to speak and validating others through the courtesy of listening to them.

Food for thought.

우연히 책을 읽다가 아인슈타인의 성공방정식에 대해 알게되었다..

하지만 국내사이트에선 도저히 그에 관한 자세한 내용을 알수가 없었다..

다행이 구글에서 건졌지만.. ^^

아인슈타인.. 그의 뛰어난 IQ만큼이나 생각의 깊이도 깊었던 듯 싶다..

특히나 가슴에 와닿던 말은..

다른 사람에 대해 관심이 있는 사람을 친구로 삼기에는 5분으로 족하지만..

스스로에 대해 관심이 있는 사람과 친구가 되기엔 5년이란 시간이 필요하다..

재밌지 않은가..

많은 사람들 대부분은 자신의 문제보다 다른 사람에 대해 관심을 더 가진다.


성공으로 가는 길은.. 
일에 미치되 윤리적으로..
생활의 여유를 가지고..
말을 너무 많이 하지말라... 

내 마음에 잔잔한 감동을 준.. 그의 성공방정식..!! ^^
