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."
