Albert Einstein once wrote on a chalkboard:
9 × 1=9
9 x 2 = 18
9 x 3 = 27
9 x 4 = 36
9 × 5=45
9 x 6 = 54
9 x 7 = 63
9 x 8 = 72
9 × 9 = 81
9 × 10 = 91
Suddenly, chaos erupted in the classroom because Einstein made a mistake. Obviously, the correct answer to 9 x 10 isn't 91. And all his students ridiculed him.
Einstein waited for everyone to be silent and said:
"Despite the fact that I analyzed nine problems correctly, no one congratulated me. But when I made one mistake, everyone started laughing. This means that even if a person is successful, society will notice his slightest mistake.
So, don't let criticism destroy your dreams. The only person who never makes a mistake is someone who does nothing.”
