Theory of Relativity

How was Einstein able to conceive the Theory of Relativity? He said the one crucial thing that helped him was his ability to visualise: what would it be like to be riding on the end of a light beam? He who has begun his task has half done it. The way to be safe is never to be secure. If you are never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take chances. The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. No, not at all. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be. There is a time for departure even when there is no certain place to go. All who seek the roots of life dig in solitude for them. It is never too late to be what you might have been.
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. No, not at all. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be. Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment. The difference between doers and dreamers is that the latter wait for the mood before taking action while the former create the mood by acting. Men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better off than those who try to do nothing and succeed. In the long run, men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, they had better aim at something high.
