And, it was during that journey that he learned he just won the Nobel Prize in physics. Einstein was staying at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. One day, a courier came knocking on his door making a delivery, but Einstein found that he didn’t have any cash to tip the courier. So, instead of giving him a tip, he gave him a signed, hand-written note in German. And, 95 years later, last month, that note was auctioned and sold for 1.56 million U.S. dollars. The world’s most expensive piece of advice from the world’s smartest man. So, what did Albert Einstein write? He wrote, “A calm and humble life will bring more happiness than the pursuit of success and the constant restlessness that comes with it.” While I’m reading it, I find it really profound that I wanna read it again. “A calm and humble life will bring more happiness than the pursuit of success and the constant restlessness that comes with it.” Now, just take a moment to reflect on yourself. How many times have you felt frustrated, confused, and set-back trying to reach that dream goal? trying to get that job? trying to get into that dream college or high school? trying to make more money? trying to set on the right career path? get the right job? get the right position? right promotion? I got a little confession that I wanna make. Whenever I look at the number of my subscribers, or the number of my views, I get confused, I get frustrated, I feel set-back. I get overly concerned about how many people I’ve touched on social media while in fact I should be concerning how many hearts I’ve touched. But don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you shouldn’t dream big, or you shouldn’t try to reach out for your big goals. I’m simply saying Is it necessary? Is it the key to your happiness? After achieving these goals, will it make you happy? And, there’s nothing more that I would like to add to this video but to repeat that note again. “A calm and humble life will bring more happiness than the pursuit of success and the constant restlessness that comes with it.” - from the world’s smartest man. Peace!
