What Albert Einstein considered more important than knowledge. Is imagination more important than knowledge? About common sense

Albert Einstein left a deep mark in the history of mankind as an outstanding physicist, the creator of a number of revolutionary physical theories, the author of many scientific works... But not everyone knows that this remarkable scientist was also one of the wisest people of his time, who shared with us in his publications a large number of life advice and observations. We will remind you of some of them in this article.

1. We are all born geniuses, but life fixes it

“We are all geniuses. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb trees, then it will live its whole life, considering itself a fool. "

2. Treat everyone with dignity and respect

"I talk to everyone the same, no matter who it is - the garbage man or the president of the university."

3. We are all one

“Man is a part of the whole, which we call, a part limited in time and space. He feels himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from everyone around him, which is a kind of optical illusion his consciousness. This illusion has become a prison that holds us in peace own desires and attachments to a narrow circle of people close to us. Our task is to free ourselves from this prison, expanding the sphere of our participation to every living being, to the whole world, in all its splendor. "

4. There are no coincidences

"Coincidences are one of the ways in which God maintains his anonymity."

5. Imagination is much more important than knowledge

“Imagination is much more important than knowledge. Knowledge is based only on what we now know and understand, while imagination includes the whole world and everything that we will ever understand and learn. "

The real sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination.

“Logic will help you get from A to Z; imagination will guide you around the world. "

6. Loneliness can be delightful for a mature person.

"Loneliness is painful when a person is young, but delightful when he is more mature."

“I live alone; it is disgusting for the young, but it tastes great over the years. "

"The value of a person lies in what he gives, and not in what he is able to receive."

16. Never Stop Learning

"Intellectual growth must begin at birth and stop only at the time of death."

17. Don't stop asking questions

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. It's important not to stop asking questions. Curiosity has every reason to exist. "

“People like you and me, although mortal, of course, like everyone else, never grow old, no matter how long we live. I mean, we will never stop standing, like curious children, before the great Mystery in which we were born. "

18. It all depends on you

"Our world is a life-threatening place, not because some do evil, but because everyone else sees it and does nothing."

19. Don't be afraid to voice your opinion

“Few people are able to calmly express an opinion that contradicts the prejudices prevailing in society. Most people are not even able to form such an opinion. "

20. Let nature be your teacher

"Take a closer look at nature, and after that you will understand a lot better."

21. Change your mind and it will change your life

“The world that we have was created in the process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our consciousness. "

We cannot solve our problems with the same mindset that we used to create them.

22. Purpose is the main thing

“If you want to live happy life then you should be attached to goals, not to people or things. "

23. We become happier by making others happy.

"The best way is to make someone else happy."

24. You have no restrictions other than those that you set yourself

"Only one who tries to do an absurd thing can achieve the impossible."

"Here's a question that sometimes puzzles me: Am I crazy or everyone else?"

25. Doing the Right Thing Doesn't Always Make You Popular

"What's right isn't always popular, and what's popular isn't always right."

26. Difficulties give new opportunities

“Look for simplicity in the confusion. Look for harmony in the midst of dissonance. Find opportunities in obstacles. "

27. You Can't Make Peace Using Force

“Peace can never be achieved through force. It is achieved only through mutual understanding. "

"You cannot prevent and prepare for war at the same time."

28. There are no trifles

"The one who is careless with small things, there is no trust in important things."

29. Walk your own ways

“The person who follows the crowd will usually walk no further than the crowd. A person who walks by himself can probably find himself in places where no one has ever been. "

30. Listen to your intuition

“Intuition is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten about the gift. "

"I would never have made my discoveries in the process of rational thinking."

31. Wisdom is not a learning outcome

"Wisdom is not a product of learning, but a lifelong attempt to acquire it."

Albert Einstein once said: “In my imagination, I am free to paint as an artist. Imagination more important than knowledge... Knowledge is limited. Imagination covers the whole world.
When you understand how far humanity has advanced since cave times, the power of imagination is felt in full scale. What we have now was achieved with the help of the imagination of our great-grandfathers. What we have in the future will be built with the help of our imagination. "

And we? What are we striving for by teaching and developing our children? What are the most common lessons in our “schedule” of activities with children? The ones that develop the imagination? Or those that force children to accumulate knowledge?

Imagination! Fantasy! Creative thinking! Here's that. what children need!
Where to start developing your imagination?

From games, of course!

Here are some fantasy games from my book:

What does it look like?
Age: 3-4 years old.

Show your child and ask what they are like:
Geometric shapes or bodies,
Blots (accidental or made on purpose),
· "Kalyaks-malyaks" of the younger brother, abstract paintings by real artists,
Pebbles on the beach,
Sticks or driftwood in a park or forest,
· clouds,
Puddles,
Leaves, cones, seeds of various plants,
Boxes of unusual shape,
· Other items in your home.

Which of your friends or favorite characters might look like:
A casual passer-by,
Your neighbor from the third floor,
The hero of a film, cartoon,
The person depicted in the painting
· etc.

What the child is reminded of, what they look like:
The sounds of the heard melody,
Sounds of different instruments,
Unusual car signal,
Computer sounds,
Doorbell sound,
The noise of a station, a large store, a playground,
Door creak,
Slipping sandals in a puddle,
Crunch of an apple falling from a branch,
Rustling of grass, trees,
· Thunder Strike,
· Sounds made by different animals.

What reminds what they look like:
The smell of shampoo, perfume, cream,
The smell of candy, yogurt,
Fruit smells,
Smells of different dishes,
The smell of burnt scrambled eggs,
The smell of an unfamiliar spice,
Smells of different colors,
The smell of a subway, a large store,
The smell of a gas station,
The smell of a flower stall,
The smell of a bakery,
The smell of a new portfolio, a new book,
The smell of a freshly washed sheet,
The smell of air after rain in the forest, in the city,
· Other smells - pleasant and unpleasant.

Invite your child to close their eyes and touch objects. What are they like:
Fluffy blanket,
A piece of fur
Silk scarf,
A piece of sandpaper,
Thick rope,
A cushion for needles (naturally empty),
Spring,
· Walnut,
Glossy magazine,
· TV remote,
Rolled-up newspaper,
· etc.

During such games, try not to argue with the child, not to say: "But it doesn't look like it at all!" Better ask the child why he thought so. Share your impressions.
The only exceptions are, perhaps, games with geometric shapes and bodies. If a child says that a square is like a bull's-eye, of course, he is not entirely right. But in response to your bewilderment, the kid will boldly declare that “This is such a magic bull's-eye, you don’t understand!”. Then agree with him that it is better for you to compare with real objects for now, and you will draw a magic apple a little later.

Magic items
Age: 4-5 years old.

All sorts of incredible stories constantly happen to the heroes of fairy tales, adventure books and films. They find themselves in very difficult, sometimes desperate situations.
Invite your child to think of what magic object or amazing device he would like to give to the hero of a book or movie, so that it would be easier for him to cope with troubles. What properties should this object have, how it might look.
Let the kid draw a hero, and next to him - a magic "helper".
Ask the child what he would do if he had such an object or device in his hands.

Drawing impressions
Age: 4-5 years old.

When the child has mastered a pencil and a brush well enough, he begins to draw not "just people", but more complex "genre scenes", invite him to draw at your request:
Characters of your favorite fairy tale (you can discuss in advance how this or that character looks, what he can be dressed in, at what point in the fairy tale action the child wants to portray him),
Impressions of a recent trip to the zoo, circus, theater (together, recall how the animals behaved, who exactly participated in the performance, how the actors were dressed, and so on),
· Yourself and family members during a trip to the sea, skiing and so on.

Imagine and draw
Age: 5-6 years old.

Invite your child to imagine and draw:
· A pantheon of fabulous "gods" - the god of the game, the god of fun, the god of bad mood, the god of the wind, the god of food, the god of sleep, and so on;
· Different fairies and wizards;
· Kings and queens, kings, princes, queens and princesses of different amazing states;
· Unknown, non-existent animals: known from fairy tales - hypogryph, nozzle-tail, elephants, push-pull, mountain snake; or fictitious - geometrines, round-tailed, horn-haired, spark-eyed, scaly creeper, and so on (come up with yourself or with your child);
· Inhabitants of other planets (together with the child, you can come up with the name of these creatures or the names of the planets);
Non-existent modes of transport (both terrestrial and alien), having discussed in advance what properties they will possess;
· Fabulous objects - magic wands, invisibility hats, flying carpets, self-assembled tablecloths and much more;
· different cities- alien, fabulous (from this or that fairy tale or "just like that"), real (located in different parts of the globe);
· famous people portraits of which the child has never seen.

What and how can be done
Age: 4-5 years old.

Discuss with your child what you can do about:
A plastic bottle from lemonade: whole, with one, two, three holes, cut lengthwise or across, into equal or unequal parts, not one, but two or three at the same time, using at least two, but not more than four other items
Boxes of chocolates (subject to one or more additional requirements - see above or think of yourself),
A round box of processed cheese,
A can of coffee,
Caps from bottles or cans,
Matchboxes (one, two, ten),
Wires, ropes, sticks,
· wooden spoon and a shred
Cones (the same or different),
Smooth board,
Multi-colored pieces of plexiglass, leather, fabric,
Multi-colored cotton balls,
Buttons,
Old mittens, gloves, knitted hats,
· Unnecessary "baby" cubes, from which your child "grew",
An old non-working alarm clock or radio,
Remnants of wallpaper,
· And much more.

When giving an assignment, clarify whether the result of labor should bring any practical benefit or it will be something "for beauty."
When your child makes a suggestion, ask what other materials or tools you might need to make the idea come true.

This game can be played both verbally and by sketching a product design or making it in real form.

You can play "the other way around":
What can be done from:
A vase for flowers, fruits or sugar,
A frame for a photo,
Piggy bank,
A pallet or pots (stand) for a houseplant,
Candlestick,
A drawer for small miscellaneous items,
A bi-ba-bo doll or a finger doll,
Collage,
Stained-glass window,
Beads, brooch, bracelet, other children's jewelry,
Book cover,
· Bookmark,
A shelf for small items or toys,
Clothes for dolls,
A visor for a street bell in the country,
Hook for potholders,
· Many other useful or interesting items.

This version of the game can be carried out mainly verbally, since you may not find any necessary object, but if it were, then the "thing" would have turned out.

Coming up nonsense
Age: from 5 years old.

Start telling something good known to the child poem. At the end of the second or fourth line, pause, and then say the wrong word, which should be, but something completely different, preferably in rhyme (if possible), and even so that it is funny.
Start reading another quatrain, pause and wait for the child to add a word. If the child doesn't respond, add something yourself. For the third or fourth time, the child will pick up the game and come up with very funny endings.

Imagine that you ...
Age: from 5 years old.

Invite your child to imagine that he suddenly turned into someone or something. What he will hear, see around him, what he will feel, in what environment he will be.

A child can "transform":
Into an adult,
In a child of a different age, of the same sex or of the opposite sex,
In the hero of a fairy tale, song or even a famous painting,
A well-known person (actor, president, banker, etc.),
Any animal,
· In any subject.

Then switch roles - you transform and tell the child everything that you “see, feel” and so on. You can “transform” together and talk to each other on behalf of your “heroes”.
You can invent various events for your heroes. It will turn out to be a whole fairy tale or story.
If a child likes these games, be sure to read (or re-read) fairy tales in which objects (Andersen have a lot of such fairy tales) or animals.

What would you call it?
Age: from 5 years old.

Consider with your child an album of reproductions of paintings by different artists, reading the title of each painting.
Invite your child to look over the images again and come up with a name for each painting.
In one lesson, consider no more than 20 paintings, otherwise the child will get bored.
In addition, you can ask your child to come up with new names for famous fairy tales, poems, films and cartoons.

We compose fairy tales
Age: 5-6 years old.

Try together with your child to come up with a continuation of the well-known fairy tale. Or, after reading the story to the middle, come up with an end. And then compare with what the author of the tale came up with.
Try to mix the heroes of several fairy tales and come up with a new adventure for them.
Write down the most successful options, but not while writing, as this will distract both you and the child. And then, once again saying all the details.
Publish "your" fairy tale in a circulation of two to five copies and present it to grandparents. Naturally, with illustrations by a young artist.

Coming up with the rules of the game
Age: 5-6 years old.

If a child likes to play different table games, make your game with it.
First, discuss what kind of game it will be - just a "walker" with additional arrows indicating where the chips should go. Or a game with tasks written on cards. A game in which you need to collect something, or, conversely, lay it out on the field in the process of promotion. A game where you have to answer questions, etc.
Then you can come up with a story together - who or what will be discussed in the game. AND additional conditions- what to do when passing certain cells, what needs to be collected or laid out, what can be written on the cards. The more initiative and imagination the child shows, the better. Your task is to make sure that the rules of the game are not too complicated, confusing and help the child change them so that the game is both understandable and interesting.
When all the conditions are discussed and written down, start making the game itself.
Help the child in marking the playing field (the child cannot use the ruler well yet). Circles for promoting chips can be made using a stencil. Let the child do the drawings himself or cut them out of old magazines and stick them on.
If playing with cards, cut them up and help your child write assignments.
Chips can be taken from any purchased game or made independently from scrap materials.

Nowadays you won't surprise anyone with advertising. She accompanies us almost everywhere - on the street, in the subway, we hear her on the radio and see her on TV. There is a beautiful and interesting advertisement with humor. And then there is tasteless, intrusive advertising.
Try with your child to come up with your own ad. This can be, for example, a fabulous advertisement. It’s as if there’s a store in some magical land that sells various wonderful items.
Determine what you will advertise. For whom and what it can be intended for this item... Whether it will be an advertising picture or information broadcast on a fabulous radio.
You can "organize" a whole advertising company of this product.
If your child is no longer interested in fairy tales, or you have already played enough of this game, try looking at the billboards near your house or watch the latest videos on TV and discuss whether your child likes advertising. Does he think it is effective. How would he advertise this product or service (of course, you need to discuss in advance who the advertising is for, how you can attract this segment of the population).

And in conclusion, I would like to wish adults - mothers, fathers, grandparents, to set an example for their kids - fantasize, make your life, your life unusual, interesting! And first, try decorating your apartment with do-it-yourself items that are unlike anything else.

Exposing Einstein's quote.

"I'm afraid the day will surely come when technology will surpass simple human communication. And the world will have a generation of idiots."

This phrase seemed dubious, since I had never seen it in print media before (I once had a project devoted to quotes from famous personalities and I had to reread a lot of quotes).
First of all, I went looking for the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet ... Searches for the original source turned out to be useless, since this phrase was replicated in Russian on over 100,500 resources (including information resources).

I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.

I fear the day when the technology overlaps with our humanity. The world will only have a generation of idiots.

This fact increased my suspicions about the reliability of this phrase.

IN printed edition"The Ultimate Quotable Einstein" (there is nowhere more authoritative, link in the title of the post), this quote is also missing.

In the course of a short investigation, it was found that for the first time a similar phrase appeared in the film "Powder" (1995):

Donald Ripley: It’s become appallingly clear that our technology has surpassed our humanity.
Jeremy Reed: Albert Einstein.
Donald Ripley: I look at you, and I, I think that someday our humanity might actually surpass our technology.

The original phrase sounded like this:

Our world faces a crisis as yet unperceived by those possessing power to make great decisions for good or evil. The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe.

"Atomic Education Urged by Einstein" page 13, line 6.

1. A. Einstein never uttered phrases about idiots;
2. You can safely send someone who will prove the opposite;
3. Don't believe the quotes on the internet.

The life of an individual is meaningful only to the extent that it helps to make the lives of other people more beautiful and noble. Life is sacred; it is, so to speak, the supreme value to which all other values ​​are subordinated.

Common sense is the sum of prejudices acquired before the age of eighteen.

Nothing of value can be born from ambition or a sense of duty. Values ​​arise from love and devotion to people and the objective realities of this world.

Science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the pursuit of truth and understanding. But the source of this feeling comes from the realm of religion. From the same place - the belief in the possibility that the rules of this world are rational, that is, comprehensible to reason. I cannot imagine a real scientist without a strong belief in this. Figuratively, the situation can be described as follows: science without religion is lame, and religion without science is blind.

Our mathematical difficulties do not bother God. It integrates empirically.

Someone who marches quite well to music in the ranks has already earned my contempt. He was endowed with a brain by mistake; the spinal cord would have been enough for him. This shame of civilization must be done away with. Heroism on command, senseless cruelty and disgusting senselessness called patriotism - how much I hate all this, how base and vile the war is. I would rather be torn to pieces than be part of this dirty act. I am convinced that murder under the pretext of war does not cease to be murder.

Anyone who wants to see the results of his labor immediately should go to shoemakers.

Quotes about technology

This illusion has become a prison for us, limiting us to the world of our own desires and attachment to a narrow circle of people close to us. Our task is to free ourselves from this prison, expanding the sphere of our participation to every living being, to the whole world, in all its splendor.

I fear that the day will surely come when technology will surpass simple human communication. Then the world will get a generation of idiots.

Albert Einstein

Our position on Earth is truly amazing. Everyone appears on it for a short moment, without a clear goal, although some manage to come up with a goal. But from the point of view of everyday life, one thing is clear: we live for other people - and most of all for those on whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.

10 GOLDEN RULES by ALBERT EINSTEIN

Albert Einstein was an excellent physicist. He discovered a lot
physical laws and was ahead of many scientists of his time. But people call
his genius is not only for that. Professor Einstein was a philosopher who clearly understood
laws of success, and explained them as well as his equations. Here are ten
quotes from a huge list of his wonderful sayings. Ten gold
lessons you can use

in their daily life.

The man who was never wrong, never tried
do something new.

Most people don't try new things because of
fear of being wrong. But this should not be feared. Often the person who is the victim
defeat, learns how to win more than the one to whom success comes
