Einstein!

Some interesting and revealing incidents from the life of Albert Einstein, who was recently honored 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'm going.'
