Albert Einstein offered us more than just the amazing theory of relativity and E=mc2. Through his persistence in his discoveries in science, Einstein shined a light on how each of us can do the impossible by hard work, experiencing failure, and valuing people. Even if you are not a scientist, you can apply these life lessons to your life today. 阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦给我们留下的不仅仅是伟大的相对论和E=mc2.纵观其在科学领域的孜孜不倦，爱因斯坦就是一缕光芒，指引着我们用努力将不可能变为可能，教会我们体味失败，并珍视他人。即便你不是科学家，这些教导也适用于你今日的生活。 Simplicity 简单化 “If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it yourself.” – Albert Einstein “如果你无法向6岁孩童解释清楚，那说明你自己也不明白。”-爱因斯坦.阿尔伯特 The more complicated you have to make something seem, the more you do not understand the inner workings of it. Think about the best teachers that you have had in your life. Did they make even the most complicated topics full of vocabulary that you did not understand or did they make it easier to understand by simplifying? 你把事情的表面弄得越复杂，你就越无法理解其核心内容。想想你生命中最好的一名导师。他们是编织满是生僻难懂词汇的主题，还是言简意赅地表达出来？ Creativity 创造力“Creativity is contagious, pass it on.” – Albert Einstein “创造力可传递，让其延续。”-阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦 Inspire others to do what they love. Use your creativity to create new works, and you never know what others will create. It’s time to let your mind create projects and ideas that will have a domino effect throughout the world. 激发人们做他们爱做的事。把创造力运用到工作的创新上，而你终究不会知道人类的创造极限。此刻就发挥你的想象去创造吧，无论是项目还是创意，它们都会对这个世界产生多米诺效应。 Hard Work and Failure 努力工作，接受失败 “The only sure way to avoid making mistakes is to have no new ideas.” – Albert Einstein “避免错误的唯一方法就是拒绝创新。”-阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦 “You never fail until you stop trying.” -Albert Einstein “没有尝试，就没有失败。”-阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦 Einstein spent most of his life working on physics theories- some never worked out and others we know today. You never know which one will work out, but persistence is key. You have to keep working hard and keep trying to solve your problem. Failure doesn’t exist until you stop trying. 爱因斯坦投其毕生精力于物理学理论上-有些未得出结论，有些已问于今世。你不会知道这些理论哪些能够取得成功，但成功的关键在于坚持。你唯有坚持努力工作，坚持不断解决问题。失败的前提是你在尝试。 Live in the Present 活在当下 “I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.” -Albert Einstein “我从未考虑过未来-它会自然而至。”-阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦 You are only guaranteed the moment that you have right now, at this moment. You can try to get yourself worried about the future and make plans that may not work out according to plan. What matters most is living now, today. Do your best right now and do not worry about tomorrow. 你唯一能够得到保障的时光就在此时，此刻。你当然可以为了明天而忧虑，也可以为了未来而制定一些或许没有帮助的计划。最为重要的是要活在当下，活在今天。全心做好此刻的事，不要为了明天焦虑万分。 Be Unconventional 打破常规 “I never made one of my discoveries through the process of rational thinking.” – Albert Einstein “我的所有发现皆非出于理性思维。”-阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦 Everything great took a process of going outside of the box and doing something unconventional. If you continue to do the norm, then you are going to just produce normal, conventional results. Think differently, and you may find your answer. 伟大事物的产生都要走出传统的局限，打破常规。如果你继续随波逐流，那么你将淹没于大众，成绩平平。想别人不敢想的，如此你将找到你的答案。 Imagination 想象力 “Imagination is the highest form of research.” – Albert Einstein “I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” – Albert Einstein “想象力是研究的最高形态。”-阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦 “我是一个能凭借自我想象力自由绘制图画的艺术家。想象力的重要性超乎知识。知识有限，而想象力却统筹世界。”-阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦 Imagination is key. When you imagine something differently, you begin to share with others. People begin to see the world that you imagine. Together you can create and help each other. Take time today to daydream, imagine, and share your ideas with others. 想象力是个关键。一旦你想象到了不同的，你便开始了与他人分享的路程。人们会渐渐看到你想象出的世界。并且你们还能携手创造，互帮互助。从今天开始就花点时间去做做白日梦，大胆想象，分享你的创意吧。 Work Towards the Impossible 朝着奇迹工作 “Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.” – Albert Einstein “唯有那些异想天开的人才能实现奇迹。”-阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦 If it seems ridiculous to others and you are willing to take the risk, then you are able to achieve the impossible. When you go beyond what others think is reasonable, an amazing thing starts to happen. You complete what was once an obstacle. 若别人眼里你很疯癫，而你却仍想要冒一次险，那么你将实现这个奇迹。一旦你打破了众人眼中的常规，美妙的事将会慢慢发生。曾经所谓的障碍你也一并清除了。 Value People 珍视他人 “We know from daily life that we exist for other people first of all, for whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.” – Albert Einstein “我们从日常生活中明白了我们的存在首先是为了他人，他人的微笑和康乐决定了我们的幸福。”-阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦 “Life isn’t worth living, unless it is lived for someone else.” – Albert Einstein “人生不值得来过，除非是为了他人。”-阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦 If you put people first, they will value you and look to you as a person who genuinely cares about others. Spend at least a few minutes out of your busy day being fully engaged with people without any distractions. Show them that you value them. Thank them and send compliments their way. It will not only make their day better, but they will appreciate it and remember what you have done for them. 若你把别人放在首位，他们就会珍视你，将你视为能够发自内心关怀他人的人。要从繁忙的工作中抽出数分钟的时间不受任何干扰地和别人相处。向他们展示出你的重视。将心比心地感谢他们，赞美他们。这不但会美好他们的一天，也会让他们由衷地接受并且记住你为其所做的一切。 Sharing 分享 “Student is not a container you have to fill but a torch you have to light up.” – Albert Einstein “学生不是你要去填满的容器，而是你要点亮的火炬。”-阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦 Share your ideas with others. You may light a spark that ignites someone to do what they have always wanted. If you just hold all of your ideas and knowledge to yourself, you are not helping others at all. What if you held the key that would solve someone’s problems, wouldn’t you want to share it? 与别人分享你的想法。也许你不经意间就会激发某人日思夜想的灵感。倘若你只是将所有的想法和知识藏了起来，那你根本就帮不到别人。要是你手握一把解决他人问题的钥匙，你愿意分享吗？ Be Open to Learning 开怀学习 “Learning is experience. Everything else is just information.” -Albert Einstein “学习是种体验。其他一切只是信息。”—阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦 It’s the journey as you learn and not just soaking up all of the information. It’s fully diving in and learning that some things work and others do not. Learning is not a one-size-fits-all path, but your own customized journey. 学习是一段旅程，而不仅仅只是吸收所有的知识的工程。它需要你全身心投入，要你知道有些事情行得通，有些事情行不通。学习不是放之四海而皆准的事情，而是为你量身定制的旅程。 |
