One person that has inspired me is Albert Einstein. He is inspiring because he was one of the greatest scientists ever. When he was in school, all his teachers said he was slow to learn, and “dim”. Einstein didn’t like to learn about language and other popular teachings back then. All he liked was math. He soon became fascinated by math, and he wanted to become a math teacher. Despite his love of math, his school asked him to leave because he was a bad role model to other students. Einstein was able to overcome this, and he soon became one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century.
I admire many character traits about him. First, I admire his willingness not to give up. He kept studying math and science even though many people thought he shouldn’t. Second, is that he didn’t let all the people telling him he was dim and slow get to him. He just kept going on what he knew was the right thing, and didn’t let people tell him otherwise. I also admire all the things he said to encourage other people such as, “Only a life lived for others is worth living,” and “Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” Another character trait I like about him is his sense of humor, such as in these things he said about life: “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe,” and “If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.”
Albert Einstein did a lot for the world: inspiring, teaching, and changing it. He was able to overcome all hardship and failure, and became one of the greatest scientists of all time. Albert Einstein inspired me, and I hope he does the same for you.
