Greetings
all!
How
much does good life advice cost? Life coaches might charge $100-$1,000 an
hour but how about advice on happiness from Albert Einstein? Read on!
In 1922, Einstein traveled from Europe to Japan for a lecture series and was staying at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. There, he learned that he had been awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. The bellboy was making a delivery to Einstein, and Einstein either did not have small change for a tip or the bellboy refused the tip (as customary in Japan). Instead, Einstein gave the bellboy a handwritten note.
In 2017, this note was sold at an auction house in Jerusalem for $1.56 million. The note read:
In 2017, this note was sold at an auction house in Jerusalem for $1.56 million. The note read:
"A
calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined
with constant restlessness."
Now, almost a century after Einstein's words of wisdom were put down on paper, they still ring true. We can all aspire to “a calm and modest life” and we do not have to pay millions for this advice!

What
did you think? Drop me a line!
Einstein was certainly a genius , but everyone is different and I don't know about " more happiness" I know what brings happiness for 100% - only LOVE. Restlessness is unnecessary thing.Don't worry -be happy!
