I've Got It!!!

"A new idea comes suddenly and in a rather intuitive way, "Einstein once said.  "But," he hastened to add, "intuition is nothing but the outcome of earlier intellectual experience."

Pardon the interuption Albert, but this conversation piece is important:

The president and CFO of a company had the following discussion:

CFO:  If we invest and continuously train the employees our cost will go up.  In addition, what happens if the employees we train, decide to leave?

President:  What happens if we don't train anyone and they all STAY?

A mind of a scientist

Einstein 2.0s

"The thought of having to expend my creative energy on things that make practical everyday life even more refined, with a bleak capital gain as the goal was unbearable to me." 

"Well, if you offer gourmet food to peasants like me (given caviar for his birthday), you know they won't appreciate it."

Einstein 2.0c

Did Einstein have ADHD?

"He was known to leave behind clothes, and sometimes even his suitcase, when he traveled, and his inability to remember his keys became a running joke with his landlady."

"He always does something different from what I have ordered."

"Professor Pernet gave Einstein a 1, the lowest possible grade in his course Physical Experiments for Beginners" because he never showed up for class.

Those and many other examples of his absentmindedness, led someone to famously quote:  "That man [Einstein] will never amount to anything because he can't remember anything."

Stop being a Fool, according to Einstein

"A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth."

From the book "Einstein" written by Walter Isaacson and published in 2007

"A society's competitive advantage will come not from how well its schools teach the multiplication and periodic tables, but from how well they stimulate imagination and creativity."

Just My Imagination from The Temptations

"Whenever he felt that he had come to the end of the road or faced a difficult challenge in his work, he would take refuge in music and that would solve all his difficulties"      Hans Albert on his father Albert Einstein

"To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself."

"It is important to foster individuality, for only the individual can produce the new ideas."

Quiet Please!!

"If somebody skates at top level, I cannot improve it.  So I have to stay quiet...I had nothing to do."

Status UN quo continued

Status "UN"quo

Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider are willing to do and try just about anything if they believe it will result in increased success, as evidenced by a reported 284 roster moves in their first year together. They fear neither criticism nor failure. They draft whom they believe in. They chase the free agents they like. They play whoever earns it on the practice field. They ignore conventional wisdom.

"We really don't care about what other people think and we're not going to be driven by what the status quo might think and we've really trusted our gut on decisions," Carroll said. "We've done a lot of questionable moves that people want to know about … it has helped accelerate the process."

From the outside, Pete Carroll can look like cheerleader-in-chief, just an uplifting motivator. Inside they swear there's a smart football mind obsessed with competition in everything, winning the small battles that lead to winning the big ones, like a Super Bowl.

If no one else recognizes that as great coaching, Carroll doesn't seem to mind. He had practice to run Thursday anyway. Set to music, of course.

"We have fun doing it."

He'll never apologize for that, either.
