Albert Einstein
How would I feel about the one thing I took for granted today, if I saw it for the first time?
📝ONGO's Reflection
At sixteen, Einstein imagined what would happen if he ran alongside a beam of light. Ten years later, that imagining became the theory of relativity. What made him a genius was not calculating power but one thing — that he never stopped asking a child's questions even after he had grown up. As we grow, we lengthen our list of "things that are obvious." The longer that list, the smaller the world becomes. Einstein spent his life shortening it. The true legacy he left us is not the equations but the gaze that sees the world afresh, as if for the first time.
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."Albert Einstein, Statement to William Miller, LIFE magazine (May 2, 1955)
