Page 7 - DK Life Stories Albert Einstein by AELC

Dear Reader,

Ever wonder how to change the world?
Simple—you get a few ideas that you know
to be good ones, and you follow them through.

That might just be the story of Albert
Einstein’s life. His ideas were the product of
a mind that comes along perhaps once every
century. But it took more than ideas for him
to change the way we look at the universe.
It also took drive, determination, focus, and
a refusal to “give in” and do what everyone
else does.

Albert was a freethinker. He knew some
people wouldn’t agree with his ideas. It’s
always scary when people challenge the
beliefs you’ve held for so long. But Albert
cared about getting down to the truth of
things. He wanted humankind to get things
right. He once spoke of “ . . . the understanding
of that which is truly significant.”

Luckily for us, it was this understanding
that he spent his life pursuing.
