Albert Einstein‚ German born physicist who immigrated to the United States‚ once said‚ “You never fail until you stop trying.” People who go from one country to another must not stop trying. They leave everything behind in order to come to something better‚ therefore‚ failing is not an option. The stories‚ “Balboa” by Sabina Murray‚ “The Tempest” by William Shakespeare‚ and “Of Plymouth Plantation” by William Bradford‚ all show how the early immigrants acted when they arrived.

“All I know is that I know nothing” argued the deep ancient philosopher Socrates. His argument is based on the fact that one cannot know anything with absolute certainty; they could only know something with a fractional amount of confidence. Socrates had written this quote nearly two thousand year ago. With our vast advances in modern technology‚ science‚ mathematics‚ and equipment to record data‚ over the last two millenniums‚ one would assume that we would long grow this view of not knowing anything

What I find most admirable about Albert Einstein is the way he thought up his theories and had the ability to conduct experiments on them. By doing this‚ he answered many questions of the scientific realm of the world. Some of the traits I admire are: 1. A trait I admire is his curiosity because he always wanted to find out how things worked. When he was five years old his father gave him a compass. It was a mystery to him. He wanted to know why the arrow always pointed north. His father

Albert Einstein 1879-1955 Einstein was undoubtedly the single greatest contributor to science in the 20th century. Few will argue with that point. His gifts to today’s understanding of the universe‚ energy‚ time among others base many branches of modern science. His contributions are not restricted only to the fields of science‚ but also to the individual person: from powerful heads of states to the average citizen. Albert Einstein helped Oppenheimer1 develop the fundamental science needed to
