Einstein born in Germany, was a slow learner as a child and spoke very slowly. He failed his University Entrance Exam and had to reapply a year later. He was also famous for having a bad memory. He could not remember name, dates and phone numbers.
Though Einstein was very famous for developing relativity theories, he did not receive a Nobel prize for it. Nobel Prize was awarded to him for his research in Photo Electric Effect. Later, he was offered the Presidency of Israel, which he politely declined. Thus Albert Einstein became one of the most influential, iconic and universally admired persons in human history.
Einstein was also a great philosopher and moral leader. His life has given us many lessons to follow.
"If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to things or other people", quotes Einstein in one of the numerous books written by him.
