Albert Einstein once attributed the creativity of a famous scientist to the fact that he “never went

to school, and therefore preserved the rare gift of thinking freely”. There is undoubtedly truth in

Einstein’s observation; many artists and geniuses seems to view their schooling as a disadvantage.

But such a truth is not a criticism of schools. It is the function of schools to civilize, not to train

explorers. The explorers is always a lonely individual whether his or her pioneering being in art,

music, science, or technology.

h. Albert Einstein was born in Germany. He was a genius. When he was born his head was bigger then the rest of his body, it was so strangely big. As he grew up it became less noticeable. He started speaking when he was three years old and he was very quiet even then until he was nine years old.

At age twelve Einstein learned complex maths on his own. He was very bored with simple work at school. He always wanted to learn more and more. So, besides learning at school, he loved studying on his own. He read a lot of books that were not in the school course. A lot of people began to think Einstein was stupid because he didn't do so well in his school subjects.

He loved studying physics and maths the best and loved to play the violin in his free time. He became world famous when he came up with scientific formula E = mc2.

Some of Einstein's ideas were used by other scientists to make bombs. However, Einstein himself was a peaceful man.
