Albert Einstein
Some great info about Albert Einstein…… honoured by Time magazine as the Man of
the Century
One day during a speaking tour, Albert Einstein's driver, who often sat at the
back of the hall during his lectures, remarked that he could probably give the
lecture himself, having heard it so many times. Sure enough, at the next stop
on the tour, Einstein and the driver switched places, with Einstein sitting at
the back in his driver's uniform.
Having delivered a flawless lecture, the driver was asked a difficult question
by a member of the audience. "Well, the answer to that question is quite
simple," he casually replied. "I bet my driver, sitting up at the back there,
could answer it..."

Albert Einstein's wife often suggested that he dress more professionally when
he headed off to work. "Why should I?" he would invariably argue. "Everyone
knows me there." When the time came for Einstein to attend his first major
conference, she begged him to dress up a bit. "Why should I?" said Einstein.
"No one knows me there!"

Albert Einstein was often asked to explain the general theory of relativity.
"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour," he once
declared. "Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.
That's relativity!"

When Albert Einstein was working in Princeton university, one day he was going
back home he forgot his home address. The driver of the cab did not recognise
him. Einstein asked the driver if he knows Einstein's home. The driver said
"Who does not know Einstein's address? Everyone in Princeton knows.Do you want
to meet him?”. Einstein replied "I am Einstein. I forgot my home address, can
you take me there? "The driver reached him to his home and did not even collect
his fare from him .
Einstein was once traveling from Princeton on a train when the conductor came
down the aisle, punching the tickets of every passenger. When he came to
Einstein, Einstein reached in his vest pocket. He couldn't find his ticket, so
he reached in his trouser pockets. It wasn't there, so he looked in his
briefcase but couldn't find it. Then he looked in the seat beside him. He still
couldn't find it.
The conductor said, 'Dr. Einstein, I know who you are. We all know who you are.
I'm sure you bought a ticket. Don't worry about it.'
Einstein nodded appreciatively. The conductor continued down the aisle punching
tickets. As he was ready to move to the next car, he turned around and saw the
great physicist down on his hands and knees looking under his seat for his
ticket.
The conductor rushed back and said, 'Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein, don't worry, I
know who you are. No problem. You don't need a ticket. I'm sure you bought
one.'
Einstein looked at him and said, 'Young man, I too, know who I am. What I don't
know is where I am going.''
