Albert Einstein's short notes on the secret of a happy life surfaced 95 years later. One of the most famous scientists in history, whose name has become synonymous with the word "genius", passionately interested not only in science, but, in fact, in life.
He was fond of literature, music (he played the violin very well), sailing on a yacht, gardening, philately and many other interesting things of everyday life. Contemporaries of the natural scientist noted that he possessed an enviable cheerfulness, captivating charm, an excellent sense of humor and exceptional friendliness. In other words, if anyone knew the secret of a happy existence, then, without a doubt, it was Einstein.
In 1922, a theoretical physicist visited the Japanese capital to give a lecture there. In Tokyo, the scientist stayed at the Imperial Hotel. There he had a little embarrassment: at some point (due to his absent-mindedness) he ran out of cash, and he could not tip the courier who brought him the correspondence.
Then Einstein, always distinguished by remarkable resourcefulness, took two pieces of paper from the hotel table, wrote something on them in German and handed it to the Japanese. The physicist smiled at the same time, how could only he do it impeccably, having everyone to himself, after which he assured the courier:
If you're lucky and you keep these notes, someday they will cost a lot more than the usual tip, which I just can't give you at the moment.
Here is what one of those notes by Albert Einstein says:
A modest and calm life brings much more joy than a restless pursuit of success.
Another note tells us again, such simple and at the same time such profound wisdom:

Where there is will, there is also a path.
The genius in science also turned out to be a great seer: the other day an auction was held in Jerusalem, at which the nephew of that same Japanese courier sold the first note for 1.56 million, and the second for 240 thousand US dollars.
It is clear that the current owners of those unique notes bought at that auction, first of all, rare things created by the hand of Albert Einstein, but all other people in our world, thanks to this event, suddenly learned the secret of simple human happiness left to us by the great German scientist, which, as it turns out, he discovered not only the laws of physics …
