– in those 8 women and all other Nobel

Laureates in Physics, Chemistry and

• which has helped them to reach their

pinnacle of success in R&D?

3 Aug 2012 23 Dr. P. Basak

Albert Einstein’s Theory of Success

for the young scientists like you

He suggested 3 things for success in R & D

and they are

1. Imagination or Dream and serious work to

realize the dream

2. Mental state of happiness

3. Keeping Silence while work

3 Aug 2012 Dr. P. Basak 24

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) - his theories of relativity has revolutionized the physics

The best creative work is never done when one is unhappy.

E=MC2

3 Cornerstones (X,Y,Z) for success and

Realization of Dreams

Work, Happiness and

Keeping Silence

• His famous formulae for Success

• A (Success) = X + Y + Z

1. X is work to realize the dream

2. Y is play/sing for the happiness

3. Z is keeping silence while work

What Einstein meant by work and how do we equip

ourselves for those works?

To realize our dream/imagination

• We need to have or acquire another 3 types inner Qualities to enable us to work for realization of our dreams or imaginations

• Q-1

• Q-2

• Q-3
