If you do not see great riches in your imagination, you will never see them in your bank balance.

Thomas Harvey was the pathologist on call at Princeton Hospital when Einstein died there in April 1955. Einstein wanted all of his remains to be cremated and scattered, but Harvey had other ideas. He  took the brain without permission , and eventually it was carved up into 240 pieces, preserved, and stored in Harvey's basement. 2. Time passes faster for your face than your feet. "Time dilation" is a side effect of Einstein's relativity. You might have heard about it in relation to something called the "twin paradox" – a thought experiment that involves one twin being sent up to space while the other remains on Earth.

The test of a man is the fight he makes. The strength that he daily shows; The way he stands on his feet and takes Fate's numerous bumps and blows. A coward can smile where there is naught to fear; When nothing his progress bars. But it takes man to stand up and cheer While some others follow stars It isn't the victory, after all.
