Einstein… Smart?

“It’s not that I’m so smart , it’s just that I stay with problems longer .” -Albert Einstein

Currently I am responsible for my own income, based on how long I work, how many people I know, and how often I contact the people I know. But I am learning that I am not as disciplined as I’d like to be.

Albert Einstein had an interesting point. He stuck with it, He tried hard to figure things out. I read once that the last 25 years of his life he was working on a “unified field theory”. 25 years is a long time to work on something. When I was taking physics in college, If I didn’t figure out a problem in 10 minutes I’d move on. I cannot imagine working on the same problem for 25 years.

I think what there is to learn from Einstein is persistence and discipline. I must ask myself how bad I really want to get things done, and if am I willing to spend more time doing it.

I suppose I should ‘stay with problems longer’. And if it starts with the mind, then I’ll start by saying:

I am disciplined.

I stick with problems till they are solved.
