I live with both parents. The difficult experience I had in life was when my parents failed to provide us with basic needs, especially food. I have learnt to be patient.
The moment that I felt proud of myself was when I passed standard seven national exams with grade A. My dream is to be computer engineer. After I reach my dream, I will help my family by providing them with all basic needs and I will donate computers to WEF so that they can be used by students.

Hello đź‘‹ family
I hope that you are well as to me.
To day I want to share with you about WORDS OF WISDOM BY ALBERT EINSTEIN.Albert Einstein was not only a genius in physics but also a profound thinker on life, humanity, and the nature of existence. His "words of wisdom" often blended deep insight with a charming simplicity.

Here are some of his most memorable quotes, categorized by theme.

On Imagination, Curiosity, and Learning

Einstein believed that the sense of wonder was the most important fuel for discovery.

· “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”
· “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”
· “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.”
· “Once you stop learning, you start dying.”

On Life, Purpose, and Happiness

He had a humble, almost whimsical, view of what gives life meaning.

· “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
· “A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.”
· “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
· “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.”

On Creativity and Problem-Solving

His advice here is counter-intuitive but essential.

· “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
· “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” (This is often attributed to him, though there's no solid proof he said it exactly this way. It perfectly captures his spirit, however.)
· “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.”

On Science, Religion, and the Universe

He often spoke of a cosmic religious feeling—a awe at the beauty and rationality of the universe.

· “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”
· “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.”
· “God does not play dice with the universe.” (Expressing his unease with the randomness of quantum mechanics.)
· “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”

On Human Folly and Wisdom

He was a sharp observer of human nature, especially in his later years.

· “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
· “The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.”
· “Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.”

A Personal Favorite: His Formula for Success

When asked to define success, he gave this wonderful, simple equation:

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

The wisdom in these quotes lies in their timelessness. They encourage us to stay curious, think differently, value compassion over ambition, and never lose our sense of wonder at the world.

Hello family
Now I wanna talk abo about the geniuses and their doing that changed the world.... Throughout history, a select few individuals have had such extraordinary intellect and vision that they fundamentally reshaped our understanding of the world and our place within it. Their "doings"—their ideas, discoveries, and inventions—created the framework for modern civilization.

Here is a look at some of these geniuses and their world-changing contributions, categorized by their impact.

### 1. The Scientific Revolutionaries: Changing Our View of the Universe

These thinkers overturned centuries of dogma and established the foundations of modern science.

* **Isaac Newton (1643-1727):**
* **His Doing:** Published *Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica* (1687), which laid out the laws of motion and universal gravitation.
* **How It Changed the World:** He provided a mathematical framework for the workings of the entire universe. From predicting the motion of planets to engineering bridges, Newtonian physics became the bedrock of science and technology for the next three centuries. He also developed calculus (simultaneously with Leibniz).

* **Galileo Galilei (1564-1642):**
* **His Doing:** Used a telescope for astronomical observation, providing concrete evidence for the Copernican model that the Earth revolved around the Sun. He also pioneered the scientific method based on experimentation and observation.
* **How It Changed the World:** He challenged the Earth-centered view of the universe held by the Church, fundamentally shifting humanity's cosmic perspective from a geocentric to a heliocentric one.

* **Charles Darwin (1809-1882):**
* **His Doing:** Proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection in *On the Origin of Species* (1859).
* **How It Changed the World:** He provided a unifying explanation for the diversity of life on Earth, arguing that species evolved over time through a process of adaptation. This challenged the religious belief in special creation and remains the central principle of all biological sciences.

### 2. The Master Inventors & Engineers: Shaping the Modern World

These geniuses translated scientific principles into practical technologies that defined the modern age.

* **Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519):**
* **His Doings:** While famous for paintings like the *Mona Lisa*, his notebooks were filled with visionary designs for helicopters, tanks, parachutes, and anatomical studies centuries ahead of their time.
* **How It Changed the World:** He epitomized the "Renaissance Man," blending art and science. His anatomical work advanced medical knowledge, and his engineering concepts inspired future inventors.

* **Nikola Tesla (1856-1943):**
* **His Doings:** Developed the alternating current (AC) electrical system, the Tesla coil, and pioneering work on wireless communication and radio.
* **How It Changed the World:** His AC system won the "War of the Currents" and became the basis for the modern electrical grid, powering the world. His ideas laid the groundwork for radio, radar, and even wireless technology.

* **Thomas Edison (1847-1931):**
* **His Doings:** Held over 1,000 patents for inventions like the practical incandescent light bulb, the phonograph, and the motion picture camera.
* **How It Changed the World:** He literally illuminated the world, extending the productive day and transforming urban life. He also created the world's first industrial research laboratory, institutionalizing the process of invention.
