Albert Einstein once said....

"Weak people revenge.  Strong people forgive.  Intelligent people ignore."

Here are 9 powerful lessons, taken from a book review, that we can learn from him:

1. Don't overthink the future - "I never think of the future, it comes soon enough."  The future is uncertain, and worrying about it steals todays joy.  Focus on what you have now and keep moving forward.
2. Dare to think big - "I believe bold speculation will take us further than the mere accumulation of facts."  Daring ideas have changed the world more than safe ones ever could.
3. Keep moving forward - "Life is like riding a bicycle.  To keep your balance you must keep moving."  Don't stand still.  Progress, no matter how small, is still progress.
4. Politics is harder than physics -  When asked, "If man discovered the atom, why can't we solve political problems?"  Einstein answered: "Because politics is more difficult than physics."  Brilliant minds still struggle where emotions, power, and ego take over.
5. Embrace simplicity -  Einstein believed in "Einstein's Razor" - removing what's unnecessary and holding on to what matters.  Simplicity is power, as long as it doesn't become oversimplification.
6. Education should teach you to think -  "The aim of education should be to train minds to think, not memorise facts."  So read more, reflect more.  Let your curiosity be your best teacher.
7. We all belong to one tree -  "All religions, arts, and sciences are branches of the same tree."  Humanity thrives when we grow together, not apart.  We are more connected than we think.
8. Stay true to your conscience -  "Never do anything against your conscience, even if the state demands it."  Let your principles guide you - especially when it's not easy.
9. What is relativity? -  Einstein once joked:  "Sit with a pretty girl for two hours and it feels like two minutes.  Sit on a hot stove for two minutes and it feels like two hours - that's relativity."  Perspective changes everything.
