Einstein and his thought.

Albert Einstein once said “We cannot solve  our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Kids often approach us with varieties of interesting questions “How do birds fly?”, “How does it rain?”, “Why does the earth spin?” The mindset of asking questions is inbuilt in children. However, getting the answers to them is where the real problem lies.  

On the occasion of Albert Einstein’s birthday on the 14th of March, let's take a look at how one of the greats of modern physics approached thinking and problem solving. It is a well known story that Einstein did poorly in school. His curiosity exceeded the walls of the classroom. At school a child’s curiosity is often curtailed. Like Einstein, we at Evolvingminds believe that it should be let free.

This curiosity coupled with his intelligence is what led Einstein to greatness. His love for physics started as a boy when he was given a compass and was fascinated with how the needle moved by an invisible force and always pointed in the same direction. This isn’t an uncommon question, you may have thought about it yourself. However, what separated Einstein was, he persisted with the question and did not rest till he found the answer. 

After a question stuck in Einstein’s mind he would begin experimenting and believed that you only truly know something when you are able to prove it to yourself. The process of coming up with ‘Thought Provoking Questions’, experimenting on them and finally proving them by building working models is deeply embedded in the core philosophy at Evolvingminds.
