Well I am finally reading a book worth recommending. I picked up Einstein His Life and Universe written by Walter Isaacson…I highly recommend it. Einstein is an idol of mine and I have attempted in the past to read his papers and essays. Unfortunately, my synopses promptly electrocuted my frontal lobes. The process enabled me to develop my own theory of relativity…the decimation of my brains cells is directly related to the absorption of concepts over my head.
However, the book I am reading explains Einstein’s theories in a way that even a simpleton like me can finally understand. Do not get me wrong, this is no Dr. Seuss writing but I was excited to discover that I could stay one-step ahead of the thought exercises. I also find the insight into the man himself to be very interesting.
I have always been a question asker (I know improper grammar…get over it). I used to read the dictionary for fun and the dictionary and encyclopedias were my first “Google”. After I was externally mobile, I spend scads of time in the library. I would ask questions and then challenge myself to find the answers. I believe the definition of a smart person is one who knows the questions to ask not the one with all the answers.
Therefore, even though this book is eliciting smoke from the ears, it has me thinking and I did not realize how much I missed that. I have been in my job for over two years and there are no more challenges. I have become bored and uninteresting. I guess that means it is time to start asking questions again…look out grey matter….bzzzt…poof!
