阿爾伯特•愛因斯坦是20世紀最偉大的物理學家。他提出了很多的普遍定理和方程式，使他一直超越其他科學家。但是，人們也因為另一件事而記住他：一種令人 們都稱他為天才的才能：他所說過的話。愛因斯坦教授是一位哲學家，他清楚懂得什么是成功法則，他能像解釋他的方程式那般解釋這些法則。這里有10句話是從 他以前所說過的無數極精彩的話語中提取出來的；這是十條你能用在平時生活之中的寶貴建議。
1. A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. 不曾犯錯的人從來不曾嘗試新事物
Most people don’t try new things because of their fear of failure. Failing is not something to be afraid of. It is often the losers who learn more about winning than the winners. Our mistakes always give us opportunities to learn and grow.
大多數人因為害怕失敗而不會去嘗試新的事物。失敗并不可怕，因為敗者往往會比勝者更能認識勝利所蘊含的意味。而錯誤總是會給予我們機會去學習和成長。
2. Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.教育是一個人在學校學到的唯一不被遺忘的東西
30 years from now, you won’t possibly remember what chapters you had in your science book; you’d only remember what you learn on your way. Life lessons stay with you forever. Real education starts from within.
30年之后，你將不會記得曾經在教科書中學過哪些章節；你只會記得在過程中你學到什么。生活所帶給你的經驗和教訓將陪伴你終生。真正的教育從自身內部開始。
3. 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.我已經受夠了作為一個能自由地控制想象力的大師。想像力比知識更重要。因為知識是有限的，而想象力卻能暢游整個世界
When you reflect on how far we humans have come from the prehistoric caves to mind-blowing technological advancements, you would feel the power of imagination. What we have now was built from the imagination of our forefathers. What we will have in future will be built from our imagination.
當你思考我們人類發展，從史前的洞穴生活到現在令人驚嘆的科學技術的突飛猛進，你會感到想象力的威力。我們現在所擁有的一切都來源于祖輩的想象力；而我們的想象力又將構筑世界的未來。
4. The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.創意的奧秘是知道如何隱藏你的創意來源
Creativity and uniqueness often depends on how well you hide your sources. You can get inspired and influenced by other great people; but when you are on stage with the whole world watching, you must become a unique, individual force that learnt different values from different people.
創意和獨特性往往取決于如何隱藏你的創意來源。你可以從其他偉人身上受到啟發和影響；但當你站在全世界都注視你的舞臺上的時候，你必須成為一個獨特的、個人的力量去從不同的人身上學習不同的價值觀。
5. The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive. Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.一個人的價值，在于他貢獻什么，而不是他能取得什么。不要渴望成為一個成功的人，而是應該努力做一個有價值的人 。
If you think of all the top people in the world, they would have added something of value to the world. You must give in order to take. When your purpose is contributing or adding value to the world, you will be elevated to a higher level of living.
當你回顧全球最頂尖人物的一生之后，你會發現他們都曾經為世界創造過某些價值。要得到回報，你得先付出。當你的目標是為世界做貢獻或者創造價值時，無論你的精神生活或物質生活都將會被提升到一個更高的層次。
6. There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.天下只有兩種生活方式：人生不存在奇跡；人生處處孕育著奇跡
When nothing is a miracle, you gain the power of doing anything you want and you have no limits. And when everything is a miracle, you stop by to appreciate even the smallest of beautiful things in the world. Thinking both ways will give you a productive and happy life.
當你認為人生不存在奇跡的時候，你會得到力量去做任何你想要做的事情，而且你會超越極限。而當你認為人生處處孕育著奇跡的時候，你甚至會停下來為一件小小的美好事物而駐足欣賞。這兩種思考方式都能讓你擁有充實而幸福的生活。
7. When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking.在我審視我自己和我的思考方式時，我的結論是：在吸收有益的知識方面，奇思玄想的天賦對我而言，比我的才干更重要。
Dreaming about all the great things that you can achieve is the key to a life filled with positivity. Let your imagination run amuck and create the world that you would wish to be in.
幻想著所有你可以完成的偉大事業能夠使你的生活充滿積極性。讓你的想象力任意馳騁，盡情創造你想要的一切吧。
8. In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself.要成為羊群中優秀的一員，你就必須先成為一只羊。
If you want to become a very successful entrepreneur, you must start a business right away. Wishing to become one, but fearing the consequences will not help. The same applies to everything – in order to win a game, one must above all play the game.
如果你想成為一名成功的企業家，你就必須現在立刻創立你的公司。只是希望成為企業家，但又害怕面對失敗后果，這樣一點用處也沒有。同理，很多事情也一樣——要贏比賽，首先得參加比賽。
9. You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.你必須去學習游戲規則。然后，你還要比別人玩得更好
Learn the rules of your game and start playing it best. Keep competing like your life depended on it. And after a while you will have no one else but you to compete against. At that point, better your best.
了解游戲規則，然后開始游戲并做到最好。一直保持競爭的狀態就好像押下你的生命作為賭注那樣。不久后，你的對手可能只剩下你自己。到那時，超越自己！
10. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.最重要的是不要停止問問題。好奇心的存在，自有它的道理
Intelligent people ask. Keep questioning yourself and others to find solutions. This will help gain knowledge and analyze your growth in all walks of life.智者總是好問。不停地對自己和他人發問以尋求解決方法。這將會幫助你在人生進程中獲得更多知識與智慧，并全方位地分析自己的成長。
