    Einstein's Life and Journey to Exellence

  • Meets his Uncle Jakob, and Max Talmud

    Meets his Uncle Jakob, and Max Talmud
    Trait: Mentor
    In this event, Talmud and Einstein's uncle Jakob were the mentors.
    This event shows mentorship (not by itself, but it triggered it) because: a) his Uncle Jakob inspired Einstein to love algebra (without him, Einstein wouldn't have enjoyed math as much, and wouldn't have achieved all that he did), and b) Max Talmud introduced Einstein to popular science books, which triggered his interest in science.
    (I don't know which day & month he met them, but it's required to put them)
  • Packs Belongings to Leave Germany on a Train

    Packs Belongings to Leave Germany on a Train
    Trait: Intuition and Visualization
    This trait shows intuition because Einstein hated being in Germany without his family, so, without anybody telling him to, he packed his belongings and went on a train to Italy, where his family was.
    This shows visualization because Einstein saw that if he stayed in Germany, he would definitely be forced to join the army, which he did not want to join.

    Trait: Reflection
    This event shows this trait because, although Albert loved Caputh, he reflected upon what was really going on around him. So, because of his reflection, he realized that as a Jew and a pacifist, it would be very dangerous to remain in Germany any longer.
