I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious. - Albert Einstein Albert Einstein 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955 Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist of Jewish descent who held Swiss and American citizenship. He founded the two pillars of modern physics, theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, and was also the discoverer of the mass-energy equivalence formula (E = mc2). One of the most important scientists of the 20th century, Einstein published more than 300 scientific papers and 150 non-scientific works during his lifetime and is known as the "father of modern physics". He was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics, which is awarded in 1922, for his contributions to theoretical physics, in particular for the discovery of the principle of the photoelectric effect. About the quote We all know that Albert Einstein was a great physicist. He took a big step forward with his discoveries that pushed the development of different fields. However, was it just because he had a brilliant brain? Einstein once said that he was "only passionately curious". Of course, we cannot deny talent, and the "gift" we are born with affects our abilities. However, there is something more important on top of it, and that is curiosity. Only when we are curious enough about what is around us can we discover and do things that others cannot do. In addition, the skills and knowledge we learn to support our work come from "curiosity" Why is curiosity so important? Even if we are really talented, it doesn't mean we will succeed. Only if we work hard and keep learning, we can explore the heights we reach and do what we want to do. The source of all these factors is "curiosity". 1 - Willingness to learn When we are interest in the world surrounding us, we may be willing to find the theory behind the happening of all the things. In this case, we will be willing to learn, while those knowledge and skills learnt will help us to walk better on the path to success. 2 - Invention and development The foundation of creativity is curiosity. It is because we are curious and inquisitive about the unknown that we imagine and try to create. It is also because of these explorations and inventions that our civilization and development can progress. How to improve our curiosity? We all know that curiosity is very important to us. Here are some tips helping us to improve our curiosity: 1 - Teach and learn Be active in teaching and learning! We all have different ideas, and sharing the knowledge and skills we have will help us explore more beyond the everyday realm. 2 - Listen to others' stories Listen to the life experiences and stories of others and try to see the world from other points of view. We may find that many things seem different to others, which may help us understand the world in a different way. 3 - Get out and explore Don't always stay at home, try to go out and explore your surroundings carefully, then you can find a lot if interesting points that you missed before. These things can bring us new ideas, and then we can expand the ideas, do creative work or explore further.
