Become Positive

Thought Thought (Day 30 - 30 July 2013)

by using the negatives as a stepping stone.

Once there was this little boy who loved nature and always day dreamed. He was slow in picking up speech but always dreamt about how the world works, even while at school. His teachers thought he had ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) or autism since they found him lost in thoughts most of the time and did not respond to them. He was deemed not coach-able and was sent home.

His mom home schooled him and helped him focus on his weaknesses to change them into his strengths. Realising how a compass fascinated him, she worked with him on understanding magnetism. He was hooked to it for life. He started working on his imaginations, what people believed to be hallucinations. All his imaginations, confusions and thought experiments uncovered the truth of relativity.

He is Albert Einstein. All his “positive” outcomes emerged from developing what others called “negative”.
