Albert Einstein: Genius Thoughts

What it means to be a genius is difficult to define, but few will try to challenge Albert Einstein's status. His name simply became synonymous with genius, and even in the sense of stereotypes attached to exceptionally gifted people. For example, his habits are known, for example, the fact that he did not wear socks or take care of his hair. From today's perspective, when the importance of public relations is emphasized so much, it is actually interesting how someone who cared so little about his appearance and image in the public, became one of the most recognizable public figures. And his relationships with women are, to say the least, interesting. He had several passionate love affairs, but over the years he valued women less and less. Some might classify him as a misogynist, but he was just too himself to ever fully accept married life and all the sacrifices and compromises it entails. There is no doubt that Einstein was a great man, and therefore many of his whims and insolence were forgiven. He was always a bit "on his own", more occupied with his own inner world than with ephemeral everyday life, and according to his own admission, he enjoyed music the most, often and gladly playing, at first the violin, and later the piano.
His scientific work and public activity had a huge impact on science, technology and the society of the twentieth century. This booklet provides a fresh insight into his character and worldview: some thoughts are witty jokes, some are interesting testimonies about the people he met and the spirit of his time, and some are more closely related to his scientific work. However, their common denominator is winning simplicity. Einstein was not a literate nor did he consider himself as such, but his ability to express his thoughts and views in a concise and easily understandable manner cannot be denied. In addition to the biographical data, which along with the attached chronology of his life create a more complete picture of this wonderful person, and data on his scientific work and creativity, a good part of the thoughts relate to the social and political problems of his time. There, Mr. Albert made the best use of the star status he enjoyed, standing up for positive values ​​on numerous occasions. Values ​​and understandings advanced for the time in which he lived. In general, these are: cosmopolitanism, tolerance, pacifism - values ​​that still hold weight today, but unfortunately have not yet prevailed. The establishment of a world government, for which he wholeheartedly advocated, remains, for now, a utopia, but there is the government of the European Union. Some of his ideas have yet to come true. Einstein did not consider himself a great man, moreover, he saw himself as an ordinary, hard-working man, and he was grateful to be able to do something that he enjoyed and found meaning in. He was enthusiastic in the full sense of the word, who managed to keep the boy inside him alive and curious, and that is perhaps the most valuable thing he can teach ordinary mortals.
