The Crisis as Albert Einstein
Do not pretend that things will change if we keep doing the same. The crisis is the greatest blessing that can happen to people and countries, because the crisis brings progress. Creativity is born of anxiety as the day comes from the dark night. It is in crisis born of invention, discovery and major strategies. He who overcomes crisis surpasses himself without being overcome.
Who attributed their failures to the crisis and hardship, neglects his own talent and respects more problems than solutions. The real crisis is the crisis of incompetence. The disadvantage of individuals and countries is laziness to find solutions to their problems. There is no crisis challenges, without challenges life is a routine, a slow death. There is no crisis without merit. It is in the crisis which show the very best of each, because without any wind caress crisis. Talk of crisis is to promote, and be silent in the crisis is to exalt conformism. Instead, work hard. Get it over with menacing crisis that is the tragedy of not being willing to overcome.
Update: Einstein actually wrote this? Some believe that if others suppose not. We are no longer so sure. When we look for more information on this appointment at the time of publishing, we only find links excerpt from his book “The World As I See It” published in 1935 where he refers on page 71 to the crisis of 1930, although in a much more analytical this text. We also find the English version of this text, much less poetic than the Spanish translation published here. What do we think? You may not have been written by our dear Al, maybe he did a 12 years old, but still share the spirit and vision of the text. All future time will be better.
