The Secret of Success
One day, a young man met Albert Einstein and asked him about the secret of
success.
Albert Einstein, the great scientist, told him that the secret of success was hard
work with good methods.
A few days later, the young man came to look for Albert Einstein again and asked
him the same question. Albert Einstein was annoyed.
He said nothing but wrote a few words on a piece of paper. He handed the paper
to the young man. The young man looked at the paper. There was a formular written
by Albert Einstein: A=X+Y+Z
“What does this mean?” asked the young man.
“A means success,” explained Albert Einstein. “X stands for hard work, Y stands
for good methods and Z means that you should stop talking and start work.”
Finally, the young man got it.
