It's really early on Sunday, November 20. As in, just after midnight. I have to pack my computer for my trip though, so I'm doing this entry very early.
"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious."
This is one of my favorite quotes, period. I've posted it on Facebook, used it in school projects, etc.
Einstein was absolultely brilliant, there's no question about that. But he saw his powerful desire to learn as natural curiosity, not anything special. According to one source, when he was 7 years old, he wanted to understand how hens kept their eggs warm, so he sat on a set of eggs from the chicken house that belonged to his sister. His sister's husband beat him for it, but she wasn't angry.
A passion for learning is something I can understand. I love to learn new things.
I have more packing to do if my laundry is done.
