Imagine if you got lost in a town, you would use a GPS to help you. But if Einstein never found out Relativity, then you would have a hard time finding your destination. Einstein’s Relativity changed the world because his equations and theories help make nuclear power plants and the GPS. Relativity is not only used in daily life, but also used extensively by aero-space-scientists. For example, The Precession of Mercury’s orbit can only be accurately predicted by Einstein’s Relativity and not the Newton’s law (General Relativity). Einstein’s Relativity is not only a more accurate way to describe the physical world than Newton’s law, but also have a daily impact on life.…
The best type of role model is one that teaches a good life lesson. What’s part of a good life lesson? A good life lesson stays with you whole life. A good lesson affects their life in a way that changes in a good way. You also gain new characteristic from life lessons; an example is courage, bravery or confidences. “While many American children believe athletes motivate them to follow their dreams, they’re also mimicking the bad behavior of their sports heroes on the playing field, a new…

What makes a good role model? A role model can take on many shapes and forms. They can be someone that people look up to or even someone that a person strives to be. I think of my role models in almost everything that I do. I always ask myself, "what would my role model do?" It almost always steers me in the right direction. Most role models effect people in a positive way by something they do or something that they say. I've noticed that when most people talk about their role models they talk about prominent figures in history or our society such as Abrahams Lincoln or rosa parks. Both of my role models lead by example and that is what I admire most about them. One of my role models is not a prominent figure like those, but has still influenced me in a similar way that those people influenced others. It is not about how famous or prominent the role model…
Young Albert tried to imagine the mysterious force that caused the compass needle to move, and the experience awakened a sense of wonder that stayed with him for life. Understanding the universe became an "eternal riddle" for Einstein, a quest for scientific enlightenment. "The road to this paradise was not as comfortable and alluring as the road to the religious paradise," he wrote, "but it has proved itself as trustworthy, and I have never regretted having chosen it."- www.amnh.org/exhibitions/einstein/life/ Albert Einstein was a poor student and although he did not earn top grades in every subject, he excelled at math and science. "It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle," he wrote, "that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry." Schilpp, 1970. p. 17. Being fiercely independent, even as a young boy, Albert had already developed a deep distrust of authority. He challenged not only his teachers but also long-standing mathematical and scientific "givens," such as ancient Greek rules of geometry and laws of physics established by other scientists. Ironically, Einstein's questioning and resulting breakthroughs eventually turned him into an authority…
Einstein became an American citizen in 1940. Not long after settling into his career at the Institute for Advanced Study (in Princeton, New Jersey), he expressed his appreciation of the "meritocracy" in American culture when compared to Europe. According to Isaacson, he recognized the "right of individuals to say and think what they pleased", without social barriers, and as result, the individual was "encouraged" to be more creative, a trait he valued from his own early education. Einstein writes:…

Albert Einstein, who lived from March 14, 1879 to April 18, 1955, was a theoretical physicist, humanist, mathematician, and a genius. It is believed that the famous scientist dealt with ADHD throughout his life. ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. People with ADHD usually have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors, or are overly active. It is said that when Einstein was in college, he was never organized and often skipped classes or came to class and thought about other things. In addition to this, it is reported that he had difficulties in speaking while growing up as a child. It was even reported that he would act out in some cases when he was not feeling comfortable. However, whether or not this had anything to do with his ADHD is unknown to this day. Although ADHD brought many drawbacks to Einstein, his ability to create a number of different scientific theories might have been caused by his ADHD. This correlation seems true since it is known that people with ADHD, have the ability to work with a number of thought processes that are used to allow them to focus on specific details. This method of thinking is used to make sure that the distractions that they would have to deal with on a daily basis due to ADHD, can be eliminated so that it will be easier to think about things. This could have been a major factor as to why Einstein was able to be the creative genius he is remembered as today.…
The term role model generally means any "person who serves as an example, whose behaviour is emulated by others". The individual that I chose from a young age to emulate my behavior off of is Spongebob Squarepants.He is a sponge that lives at the bottom of the ocean in a town called Bikini Bottom, where he works at a local burger restaurant called the Krusty Krab. He’s not my hero in the idea that he lives alone and works in fast food for his entire life but because he is the most loyal and determined individual that I can think of. He taught me that no matter how old you are, to never let go of your inner child.…
