Happy Birthday Einstein

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. Six weeks later the family moved to Munich, where he later on began his schooling at the Luitpold Gymnasium. Later, they moved to Italy and Albert continued his education at Aarau, Switzerland and in 1896 he entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich to be trained as a teacher in physics and mathematics. In 1901, the year he gained his diploma, he acquired Swiss citizenship and, as he was unable to find a teaching post, he accepted a position as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. In 1905 he obtained his doctor’s degree.

Albert  Einstein Quotes

• Before God we are all equally wise – and equally foolish.

• Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.

• Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science. Truth is what stands the test of experience.

• Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.

• Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.

• Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That’s relativity.

• I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

• I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.

• I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.

• If I had only known, I would have been a locksmith.

• If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.

• Imagination is more important than knowledge…

• It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.

• Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population.

• My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.

• Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.

• Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.

• Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

• The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. The trite subjects of human efforts, possessions, outward success, luxury have always seemed to me contemptible.

• The important thing is not to stop questioning.

• The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

• The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious.

• The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

• The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.

• The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.

• The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.

• To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself.

• Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves.

• Truth is what stands the test of experience.

• Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.

Last many days for me are little quick, hard and hectic and almost everything very much peaked in the last week.
Who helps me ? To me, I like to help myself and I suggest the same to all. But this time, I failed me.
Nothing serious though, and I do not want to be felt like I am complaining. It’s just to put thoughts on to paper (sorry, put to blog).

We need someone to share all these things, especially when they go bad, when you miss your Dad’s birthday, you miss on your priorities/goals/schedules and so on. Every silly thing. People need people. I somehow feel ‘islanded’!

WorthvieW is my best friend. It’s my only listener who can take whatever I say. But when I write anyhting to WorthvieW, I really take the utmost care to make it look beautiful (This is what you do when you love someone!) , to not to upset it, not to upset the impression of the readers of WorthvieW. So, even though it can take whatever I say/write, I wont/can’t do beyond what I feel I should.

We just need people to listen to us. We are not going to dump them with all our problems. It’s just the presence that makes the difference, the change that the minded-soul is looking for. My Worthview’s presence makes a difference. I failed me, but my blog won’t. It is here to listen.

Life reveals to us, to all of us, to each and everyone of us. It’s a program that never fails to reveal. (being a testing engineer, I would like to see the code and break it if possible)

Did God hire any testers ? Or Did He release it without any testing done on it ? Or did he outsource his product on to Earth to test?

Putting up what all’s there in the mind is really going to screw up people who read it !! Right now, my mind has GBs of sick ideas, quotes, fundas, philosophies, all that one gets into his dump box when something he cannot accept happens and assures to happen for some more time.

Even after all this sickness, I still give fundas and gyaan. People never change. We never do.

Since you feel like not doing anything when you are sad (the biggest excuse anyone can get), I digged taks that I won’t otherwise.

1. I tried to list the 10 top best things that suck.
2. I started reading all the mails in my inbox ! All those we keep as starred/ toTrack/ to re-visit etc. I found one relevant and nice mail. I leave you here with that !

Thanks everyone for reading this far !!!

Don’t take life seriously. Life is not to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? It’s ok, bunk a few classes, goof up a few interviews, fall in love. We are people, not programmed devices.

“Don’t be serious, be sincere.” !

The government of India has decided to replace the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination with the Civil Service Aptitude Test (CSAT), which will test candi­dates for their aptitude and ana­lytical abilities rather than their ability to learn by rote.

Nearly 1.7 lakh candidates take the objective type prelim­inary examination the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducts every May for screening candidates.

The CSAT is expected to come into effect from Civil Services Examination 2011.” Prithviraj Chavan, minister of state, personnel ministry, told Lok Sabha on Wednesday.

For candidates who clear t lie preliminary round, there is the main round. The UPSC will push for changes in the Civil Service (Mains) Examination depending on the response to the new format.

The preliminary exam has two papers — the first is gen­eral studies and is common for all; candidates can choose the second paper from a list of about two dozen subjects. The general studies paper may be tweaked, but it is the second paper that will undergo the big change.

UPSC chairman Professor D.P. Agrawal has constituted a committee to work out the details of the papers, the offi­cial said. “The panel will make its recommendations by April-end. Then the UPSC will dis­cuss it with the government and finalize the content.

Watch out for it guys. Prepare and plan from now on , for the next year ! All the best !!!!!

And for those who are appearing this time, get ready to take it off this time itself, else get ready to change gears !!!

Hope those who are preparing /appearing this time are ready with their plan and going well with their preparation.

If anyone has any issues, we can have an open discussion. Please speak out.

And ya, since this is about the prelims exam , i would like to give two links which will be very useful for the prep :

Happy 15th Birthday Yahoo!

Story of Yahoo

Co-founders of Yahoo are Jerry Yang and David Filo who were Electrical Engineering graduate students at Stanford University. The Yahoo! domain was created on January 18, 1995. Yang and Filo realized their website had massive business potential, and on March 1, 1995, Yahoo! was incorporated. In April 1994, directory of web sites originally called “Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web” was renamed “Yahoo!”, for which the official backronym is “Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle”.

From their blog,

After many late nights and a lot of pizza, we decided to take the big leap, turn our hobby into a business, raise money and devote ourselves totally to building a company.  This was no sure thing.  For example, 15 years ago, we wanted a free service that was ad-supported. But the conventional wisdom was that our business needed to be subscription-based. Few people thought that advertising could be the key revenue generator for the Internet. Of course, the conventional wisdom was wrong and so today we know that August, 1995, the month our first ad went live, was a critical milestone in the history of Yahoo!, as well as the history of the internet.

This timeline from their flickr  tells the brief story of Yahoo
