Imagination is more important than knowledge”, “Try not to succeed but to live with value” are lessons parents should teach their children.
Here are 9 lessons from Albert Einstein that you can refer to to firmly face life’s challenges and have the right orientation for your child.
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”.
You can’t do the same thing every day and wait for different results to come. To change your life, you need to change yourself. The more your actions and thoughts change, the more your life will change.
“It’s not that I’m too smart, it’s just that I research the problem longer.”
Be persistent in pursuing your goals. If you don’t win the first try, what you learn will be invaluable to your success.

“You have to understand the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than everyone else.”
Knowing the rules and boundaries of a game is very important to success. If you do not know, do not expect to play, let alone win the highest.
“I never think about the future – it will come soon.”
You cannot change yesterday or tomorrow right now. You only have one thing for sure and that is the present moment. So give it your all.
“Try not to succeed, but to live with value”.
Discover your talents and gifts, and learn how to use them to the benefit of everyone. If you don’t think like that, you can slip away from the lure of success.
“A person who never makes a mistake will never dare to try new things.”
Teach your children that mistakes are not failures. If you know how to accept mistakes in the right way, it will make you better, smarter and faster. Discover the power of trying new things and making mistakes. It is said that to succeed, triple the number of mistakes.
“I don’t have any special talents. I’m just curious.”
Pursuing your curiosity is also the secret to success. For example, you are curious why one person succeeds and another fails. From there, study the issue. Once you understand the problem and stop being curious, you have succeeded and will find lasting satisfaction.
“Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience”.
Sitting in class or discussing a topic only gives you philosophical insights about it. To understand deeply, you have to experience. Don’t wallow in research information, go out and discover new things.
“Imagination is everything. It is a preview of what will happen. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
Don’t let something as powerful as your imagination rest. Wake up and use it every day. You should also encourage your child to play imaginative games because ” the real sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination”.
