It could be you or me?

You didn't think I was going to say, you or me might be the next Einstien, did you? Well, I'm not discounting you but for myself, that's not possible, because I'm not interested in wearing my hair like that!

No, I'm talking about inspiring someone else on to greatness. To explain my point, I need to tell you a little story. So snuggle up and let me tell you a story about young Albert. Once upon a time....

Albert was one of those kids we would call 'a little slow' (that's if we were being kind). Albert was really slow developing and was way behind the other kids in learning how to talk. He was a poor student to put it charitably. No one held out much hope for Albert. It appeared that Albert would live up to those low expectations until a visitor to his home showed up one day.

It was an old Jewish custom to take in a needy religious scholar to share the Sabbath meal; the Einsteins modified the tradition somewhat, by hosting instead a medical student.

His name was Max Talmud, and he began his weekly visits when he was 21 and Einstein was 10.

Max brought Einstein science books, including a People’s Books on Natural Science, “a work which I read with breathless attention,” said Albert. The books stressed the interrelations between biology and physics. Now that may seem a tad boring to your or me but Albert was enthralled.

Talmud, also helped Einstein explore the wonders of mathematics by giving him a textbook on geometry. Albert was thrilled and couldn't wait to show Max problems he had solved from the book. Albert hadn't even taken the subject in school yet.

It wasn't long before the student had surpassed the teacher. Albert's brain was on fire! Now, you know that Albert went on to discover the theory of relativity. I have no what that theory means, but some people think its a really big deal. Anyway the slow kid went on to be recognized as one of the worlds most important brainiacs.

Do you know what the moral of the story is? Of course you do, you are one of the smart ones, that's why you are here. Yes, you never know what the final outcome will be, when you spread a little kindness and especially when you share a passion with someone else.

Some day they may be saying of you....that Eduardo, he wouldn't be so rich and famous you hadn't stopped by his website and encouraged him to keep writing even though he was a little slow and had no discernable talents!

Smile, it looks really good on both of us!
