10 lessons from Einstein
1. Follow Your Curiosity “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”
2. Perseverance is Priceless “It’s not that I’m so smart; it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”
3. Focus on the Present “Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”
4. The Imagination is Powerful “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
5. Make Mistakes “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”
6. Live in the Moment “I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.”
7. Create Value “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
8. Don’t be repetitive “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
9. Knowledge Comes From Experience “Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.”
10. Learn the Rules and Then Play Better “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”
From Paul Coelho’s Blog
It’s Never too Late
Colonel Sanders was in his seventies when he started Kentucky Fried Chicken because he didn’t let age stop him from going after his dreams.
Just had a spotlight interview about my book… The subject came up about how middle aged and seniors today are lost and wondering what to do with the rest of their lives. This is the third time I have run into this surprising topic. However, as we age we have the most awesome wisdom to offer the world, many years of experience and mistakes out of the way, and middle aged people have the best opportunity to finally live their passion. Yet, people give up and feel it’s too late or some other unrealistic excuse that keeps them from going after what they really want. It’s never too late and we can go after what we really want at any age…so why wait? In my book I write about starting over at any age and the fulfilling meaning that comes from finally making a decision to do so. So to everyone out there who is young and you’re not sure of what you want to do, and everyone out there who is older and know what your talents and passions are, go after what your authentic self knows you are meant to do…now! We all have a talent and you find that talent through your passions. It’s never too early or too late to go after what makes you feel alive.
Thank You Christine…

First Secret of Success
“People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success” Norman Vincent Peale
Don’t Compare Yourself to Others
“Don’t compare yourself to other people…don’t compare, don’t compare, don’t compare! It doesn’t matter how much more others have in any area, you are beautiful exactly the way you are. And when you start to accept this, find the best of what is in you and make use of it, life will be beautiful as well.” Velinda
