Ten Golden Lessons From Albert Einstein
Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving - Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was an amazing physicist. He figured out so many universal principles and equations that he was way ahead of his fellow scientists at any point...

Totally Like Whatever
By Taylor Mali www.taylormali.com
In case you hadn’t noticed, it has somehow become uncool to sound like you know what you’re talking about? Or believe strongly in what you’re saying? Invisible question marks and parenthetical (you know?)’s have been attaching themselves to the ends of our sentences? Even when those sentences aren’t, like, questions? You know?

Asa Kita Sama
Kita memang tak pernah jumpa Tapi kuyakin asa kita sama Jadi harapan dan kebanggaan orang tua
Ataukah kau pilih jalan yang hina Abai dan lalai akan bahagia dan harapnya
Tahukah kau malam-mlaam panjang yang dilalui keduanya Terkejut karena tangisan tengah malammu Dunia mereka berpusar pada dirimu Engkau, yang jadi cahaya matanya
Jika kau tahu Sebelas dari sepuluh pintanya pasti kau mahu

A man must constantly exceed his level.
Bruce had me up to three miles a day, really at a good pace. We’d run the three miles in twenty-one or twenty-two minutes. Just under eight minutes a mile. So this morning he said to me “We’re going to go five.” I said, “Bruce, I can’t go five. I’m a helluva lot older than you are and i can’t do five.” He said, ” When we get to three,...

Miles to go before I sleep
He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there’s some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

You stop to look it in the face
The encouraging thing is that every time you meet a situation, though you may think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it you find that forever after you are freer than you ever were before. If you can live through that, you can...

The right place, at the right time.
While there are many things to learn from this story, this may be the biggest. The great moments of your life won’t necessarily be the things you do, though also the things that happen to you. Now I’m not saying you can’t take action to affect the outcome of your life, you have to take action, and you will. But never forget, that on any day, you can step out the front door and...
We're young
You’re only a teenager. You’re not married yet, so go with the flow, laugh tons, use manners, and try something new. Trust your feelings, spend your cash, introduce yourself, take a chance, study hard, seek happiness, and regret nothing. Don’t laugh at people’s dreams, make a wish on 11:11, challenge yourself, take pictures and appreciate memories. You should make time to...
