Tune up your EQ

Over at the Brain Based Business Blog Ellen Weber has us looking at Einstein’s genius through the lens of multiple intelligence. We know that Einstein was smart, Ellen’s post encourages to think more deeeply about HOW he was smart.

In a previous post I looked at some of Einstein’s reported comments. These suggested that he had a great handle on self awareness long before EQ was on anyone’s radar. but did Einstein have what it took to manage himself effectively?

Have a look at 7 more of his sayings:

1.Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

2.The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of
the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little
of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

3.The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.

4.If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

5. Imagination is more important than knowledge.

6.Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.

7.Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.

Seems to me that Einstein had self management firmly nailed down as well. Quotations are taken from www.quotations.com
