Have you ever stood with curiosity before an apparent mystery and wondered how it worked, or thought seriously about how to implement one change to improve the workplace you attend?
That position is actually the seed of creativity and lasting change hidden with secrets of highly successful people. Einstein comes to mind here. 
Faced with the lack of creativity opportunity and the stifling traditions in Europe in his time, Einstein often reveled in the creativity and questioning he’d enjoyed as a student in
Do you question the traditions that stifle where you work?
Because he constantly questioned authority Einstein’s teachers concluded he’d never amount to much. One called him a bonehead and another expelled him from his German school.
Here are 5 traits Einstein used to move problems into possibilities.
1. Persistence and stubborn tenacity were tools of change for Einstein.
2. Einstein connected and applied things in ways others had not tried.
3. Rather than one emphasis only, Einstein cultivated many intelligences.
4. Imagination and fun added zip to most everything Einstein did.
5. Questions tracked Einstein’s day like maps guide a traveler.
Einstein’s guiding question was the fact that nature is constructed in a wonderful way and the task of humans is to discover its mathematical structures. He won the Nobel Prize in 1921 for his curiosity that led to discoveries in theoretical physics. What’s your quest and how will curiosity guide new accomplishments today?
I just wanted to thank you for another great post. I read this blog regularly, but never commented. I usually only comment when I feel that I have something to contribute, but this time I am making an exception because your posts are usually so spot on that it is hard to add to them. Or perhaps I just have to apply more brainpower :-) Actually, this could be perhaps turned into the framework for writing about what makes good writing/blogging... hmmm, must think about that some more...
