Did You Know That...

Did you know that...

Did you know that:
Einstein used to be a poor student at physics

Ludovic Van Bethoven couldn't learn the multiplication until the end of his life

The compositor Vanger learned to write at the age of 20

Ghoete's best works were written after 50

Once Newton decided to boil an egg, he took an egg and took off his watches to note down the time. After a while he took a look in the pan and saw the watches boiling and he held the egg in hands.


What do we learn from this? Even genuineness make mistakes and have big shortcomings and lack of knowledge in elementary things in life. So, don't be afraid to make mistakes, everybody have a hidden talent.

I wonder what is my hidden talent :quoi . About the case with Newton... I remember having something similar: I was closed my apartment door and my hands were busy, in one hand I held a package with garbage, in another hand my working case. When I approached the garbage to throw the package, I threw the suicase :lol:
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

so in order to discover the talent, we have to tend to what our body calls for. For example, you wanna be a lawyer, but you don't seem to be having obvious success in this field, on the other hand, remember that you have good drawing skills, so why not start to picture things on the paper.

So Ghoete wasted a lot of time until he found out he's got a talent. Imagine he discovered it at his 20s. But, don't you think that talent is actually an experienced skill?

From the above statements, it reminds me that "A wise man may sometimes make a mistake and a fool may sometimes have a good idea". Therefore, we shouldn't never judge a person based on his/her mistake!

Haha great, alot of discoveries have occured by mistakes, and yes by people who originally may not have appeared any brighter than the person next to him. I think the main things are what you do with your mistakes, how you handle them, usually the mistakes we make can teach us more about life then the successful things we do. I guess in saying that its important to let our mistakes get to us.

A talented person is skilled in each work begins to do. It may seem strange but it is so. Another thing that leads to success is your motivation, and also persistence. So, motivation+persistence+ a little bit of talent= success :)

People are hidden mysteries . Even if it is so long studied are things unexplained by science till nowdays. We should not judge a man by appearances, they are misleading. :)

usually great minds and talents are recognized after death... so the human mind need a lifetime to appreciate in a man's fair value.
