Albert Einstein (1879—1955) is credited with saying, "You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it". It means that in whatever situation a person is facing, he or she needs to rise up to a new consciousness and find a new way of thinking on how to solve the problem.

According to Einstein when dealing with the mind, one will find, "It is the element of a person that enables him or her to be aware of the world.” It’s not just accepting a random thought. The mind is precious, and one must gear it to be “aware of the world”. That means being attuned to what is happening in personal relationships, the interchanges, the dynamics. "It’s not just going through the motions to be a great coworker, wife ,or neighbor. It’s about being aware of the world around you, and giving accordingly."

Within 'Who2 Biographies', a reputable source on facts about famous people, Einstein was born in Germany and grew up in a secular Jewish family. He attended elementary school in Munich and felt alienated in the school. He struggled with the rigid teaching style.

He had speech challenges, which forced him to find a passion in music. His love of music stayed with him throughout his life. While in Zurich, he developed lasting friendships and alliances. He also met his future wife, Mileva Maric.

Einstein at about the age of 30 would become famous for devising his theory of relativity, which revolutionized man's understanding of space, time, gravity, and the universe.
