Einstein’s Mother said, "You are Not Stupid or Slow, You Are Different"


Einstein’s Mother and the Power of Belief

When Albert Einstein was a young boy, his teachers said he was slow.
He couldn’t speak properly until the age of four.
He struggled in school, often sitting quietly at the back, lost in his thoughts.

One teacher even told his mother, Paulina,
“Your son will never amount to anything.”

Most parents would have been crushed by those words.
But not Paulina.

She looked at her son — those gentle eyes, that curious gaze —
and she said, “Albert, you are different, not less.

She never compared him to others.
She believed in his inner light when no one else could see it.

Every night, she would play the violin,
and young Albert would close his eyes, letting the music fill his soul.

That was how she kept his spirit alive — with love, patience, and faith.
And in that quiet, unseen space… his SuperME was growing.

SuperME: Believing in the Invisible

Einstein’s SuperME was his soul of curiosity — his inner voice that told him to wonder, to question, to imagine.

When the world called him stupid,
he listened not to the noise, but to his purpose.

His Purpose was to understand the universe.
His Love was for truth, for music, and for simplicity.
His Gratitude was for his mother — the one who believed before anyone else did.

Through Purpose, Love, and Gratitude (PLG),
Einstein stayed connected to his authentic self —
the SuperME that sees beyond what others see.

He once said,

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

That’s not arrogance — that’s alignment.
That’s SuperME speaking through science.

Art of War: How Einstein Won Without Fighting

Einstein was also a living master of Sun Tzu’s Art of War.
He didn’t fight systems, schools, or critics. He won without fighting.

Sun Tzu said:

“He who knows himself and knows the terrain will never be defeated.”

Einstein knew his terrain — the terrain of thought.
He didn’t try to outperform others.
He created his own battlefield — a world of ideas, of wonder, of possibility.

He also practiced Sun Tzu’s greatest principle: Strategic Patience.
He waited for clarity instead of rushing for results.
He used silence as strength, reflection as power, and simplicity as his ultimate weapon.

And in doing so, he changed how humanity sees time, energy, and even light itself.

The Lesson for Us

When people say you’re too slow, too late, or not enough —
remember Einstein’s story.

Remember Paulina, the mother who believed in the invisible.
Remember that your SuperME is growing quietly, even when others can’t see it.
And remember Sun Tzu’s wisdom — you don’t need to fight to win.
You just need to know yourself, your purpose, and your path.

Because like Einstein,
you too are not here to follow the world —
you are here to reshape it.

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...
