INTRODUCTION

A genius, in psychology, is simply a person of extraordinary intellectual power and I see that as a concise definition.

BACKGROUND PROFILE OF ALBERT EINSTEIN

Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. He schooled at the Luitpold Gymnasium after the family moved to Munich. He continued his education at Aarau, Switzerland after the family moved again to Italy.

WHY I CHOSE HIM AS A ROLE MODEL

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle” _ Albert Einstein.

• Einstein had strategies of his own which I admire.
• He was able to visualize the main stages on the way to achieving his goal which I see as a pathway to follow.
• He regarded his major achievements as mere stepping stones for the next advancement which have lead to great scientific breakthrough and technological achievements in today’s world.
• Even after his retirement he continued to work to make sure others take up the vision.
• He has been a source of inspiration and a role mode to millions due to his continuous hunger for knowledge.

CONCLUSION

Albert Einstein made history and his findings have been of great importance to us all in education and technological development.
My knowledge of him started when I was in secondary school but my story about him won’t be complete without the knowledge gotten from nobelprize.org

Special thanks for this contest as it adds more to our knowledge on our individual role models and the lives they lived.
