Dear ,
I've never heard anyone call Einstein dumb, but this "mistake" was more likely there to prove a point.
The great lesson is,
you're only as good as your latest accomplishment. At least in the eyes of your clients or critics...
One day Albert Einstein wrote on the blackboard:
9 x 1 = 09
9 x 2 = 18
9 x 3 = 27
9 x 4 = 36
9 x 5 = 45
9 x 6 = 54
9 x 7 = 63
9 x 8 = 72
9 x 9 = 81
9 x 10 = 91
Suddenly there was chaos in the hall because Albert Einstein was wrong, the correct answer for 9 x 10 is 90 and all his students made fun of him.
So Albert Einstein waited for everyone to shut up and said:
“Even though I had correctly analyzed the nine questions, no one congratulated me but when I only missed one question,
everyone started laughing; it means that even if a person is very successful, society will notice his smallest mistake and they will enjoy it.
So don't let criticism destroy your dreams, the only person who never makes a mistake is the one who doesn't do anything."

I shared this with you today because so many of us have to endure criticism. Often because we go out on a
limb.
Because we're willing to put our necks on the line and take a risk.
People will criticize for many reasons, whether it's out of fear, jealousy, lack of ambition, they can't see your vision, etc.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE.
If you have ambition, don't let anyone rob it from you.
Take the
risk.
Start the venture.
Swim in unchartered waters.
What's the worse thing that can happen? You take the shot and you miss. So
what?
You only need to be right one time -- you only need one big success.
If we have a vision and do nothing to realize it, we are cheating ourselves.
Until next time...
