“I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”
Modesty is a virtue that only smartest people have. 🙂 Yes, the quote, “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.” comes from once known to be the smartest person on earth, Albert Einstein. Einstein was not only a genius but also a man with strong morality and with soft emotions, which led him to be a very modest person. His biographer called him the divine man of the 20th century.
“I have no special talent” sounds humble and of course ironic, especially when coming from a genius. The second part of the quote, “I am only passionately curious”, explains why Einstein was a genius. As human beings, we all are curious. The question is how deeply we are passionate about our constructive curiosity.
Again, why have we written a post with a quote?

Thank you for visiting and commenting. I am glad to know that you liked the post.
It’s all about passion and that’s what Einstein tries to tell us in this quote. Having passion towards achieving anything can fuel the energy to achieve that and become successful at the end of it.
I know nothing about Albert Einstein except that he wrote the famous equation E = MC square. I do know that Albert Einstein was German, he went to the United Dtates when Nazi’s activities intensifed in Germany (Albert Einstein was Jew) and he helped to develop Atom Bomb.
A great grouping of quotes! I’ll be sharing on Twitter and StumbleUpon 🙂
Einstein was one of the smarter people on earth, we know that he had many discoveries and is best known for his theory of relativity. “I have no special talent” shows us what a special man he was, not only that he was smart that he was a modest man as well!
Definitely. Modesty was one of his many talents. Thank you so much for visiting and commenting.
Ah, curiosity! Let us not believe that it killed the cat ? In slightly different words, a Steve Jobs said, “Stay hungry!” ?
