The assistant, a little shy in the presence of the greatest physicist of the twentieth century, asked him. “Dr. Einstein, wasn’t the exam you gave this class of physics students the same exam you gave to this same class last year?”
Dr. Einstein thought for a moment and then said, “Yes, it was the same exam.”
“But Dr. Einstein, how could you give the same exam to the same class, two years in a row?”
Einstein’s answer was “Well, the answers have changed.”
And it’s true. The questions you and I need to ask ourselves on a consistent basis remain the same. But, the answers, through the passage of time and experience, will change!
Just think… how much money would you have to have to make you feel rich 20 years ago? Or, what are your goals for the next 12 months?
If he were still around today, Einstein would be a fan of Ted Lasso (from the Apple TV series). It’s not what you think you know – how judgmental you are – that matters it’s about finding out what you don’t know – how curious you are.
To be successful you need to be curious not judgmental. Let Ted explain (with thanks to Nigel Botterill of the Entrepreneurs Circle who introduced me to Ted).
