A Jewel from Einstein

I discovered this jewel on the Facebook page of Wonderful Engineering. What a lesson! 







One day Albert Einstein wrote on the board:
 9 x 1  = 9
 9 x  2 = 18
 9 x  3 = 27
 9 x  4 = 36
 9 x  5 = 45
 9 x  6 = 54
 9 x  7 = 63
 9 x  8 = 72
 9 x  9 = 81
 9 x 10 = 91

The chaos started suddenly in the hall because Einstein made a mistake.  Correct answer 9 × 10 = 90. And all his students ridiculed him.

Einstein waited for everyone to be silent and said: "Despite the fact that I analyzed nine problems correctly, no one congratulated me. But when I made one mistake, everyone started laughing. This means that even if a person is successful, society will notice his slightest mistake. And they'll like that. So don't let criticism destroy your dreams. The only person who never makes a mistake is someone who does nothing."
