Einstein's Gratitude

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was thankful everyday to other scientists for their work both past and present even though he had made some of the greatest scientific discoveries in history. In spite of his amazing achievements, he talked about being grateful for others. In return for his gratitude the Universe revealed so many of her secrets to him.

"A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depends on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the measure as I have received and am still receiving." -Albert Einstein

Einstein believed in giving back in proportion to what he had received. His gratitude practice was a central part of his philosophy and is highlighted as a key to his success. He said he didn’t care for decorations, titles or distinctions and he didn’t crave any praise. He said that the only thing that gives him pleasure apart from his work, his violin and his sailboat was the appreciation of his fellow workers.

Einstein’s practice of gratitude, along with his belief that everything is a miracle, reflects a positive and appreciative outlook on life. For Albert Einstein, this was a life changing practice that if adopted widely enough could also change the world.
