Albert 

Einstein ( /ˈælbərt ˈaɪnstaɪn/; German: [ˈalbɐt ˈaɪnʃtaɪn]  ( listen); 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955)
was a German-born theoretical physicist who discovered the theory of general relativity, effecting a revolution
in physics. For this achievement, Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics.[2] He received the
1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law
of the photoelectric effect".[3]

Near the beginning of his career, Einstein thought that Newtonian mechanics was no longer enough to reconcile
the laws of classical mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. This led to the development of his
special theory of relativity. He realized, however, that the principle of relativity could also be extended to
gravitational fields, and with his subsequent theory of gravitation in 1916, he published a paper on the general
theory of relativity. He continued to deal with problems of statistical mechanics and quantum theory, which led
to his explanations of particle theory and the motion of molecules. He also investigated the thermal properties of
light which laid the foundation of the photon theory of light. In 1917, Einstein applied the general theory of
relativity to model the structure of the universe as a whole.[4]

He escaped from Nazi Germany in 1933, where he had been a professor at the Berlin Academy of Sciences, and
settled in the U.S., becoming a citizen in 1940. On the eve of World War II, he helped alert President Franklin
D. Roosevelt that Germany might be developing an atomic weapon, and recommended that the U.S. begin
nuclear research. That research, begun by a newly-established Manhattan Project, resulted in the U.S. becoming
the first and only country to possess nuclear weapons during the war. He taught physics at the Institute for
Advanced Study at Princeton, New Jersey, until his death in 1955.

Einstein published more than 300 scientific papers along with over 150 non-scientific works, and received
honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine and philosophy from many European and American
universities;[4] he also wrote about various philosophical and political subjects such as socialism, international
relations and the existence of God.[5] His great intelligence and originality have made the word "Einstein"
synonymous with genius.[

Success may mean, but is not limited to:

 a level of social status


 achievement of an objective/goal
 the opposite of failure

 In sociology or anthropology, social status is the honor or prestige attached to one's position in society
(one's social position). It may also refer to a rank or position that one holds in a group, for example son
or daughter, playmate, pupil, etc.

Social status, the position or rank of a person or group within the society, can be determined two ways.
One can earn their social status by their own achievements, which is known as achieved status.
Alternatively, one can be placed in the stratification system by their inherited position, which is called
ascribed status. Ascribed statuses can also be defined as those that are fixed for an individual at birth.
Ascribed statuses that exist in all societies include those based upon sex, age, race ethnic group and
family background. For example, a person born into a wealthy family characterized by traits such as
popularity, talents and high values will have many expectations growing up. Therefore, they are given
and taught many social roles as they are socially positioned into a family becoming equipped with all
these traits and characteristics. Achieved statuses meaning also what the individual acquires during his
or her lifetime as a result of the exercise of knowledge, ability, skill and/or perseverance. Occupation
provides an example of status that may be either ascribed or achieved, it can be achieved by one gaining
the right knowledge and skill to become socially positioned into a higher position of that job; building a
persons social identity within the occupation.

A goal or objective is a desired result a person or a system envisions, plans and commits to achieve—a personal
or organizational desired end-point in some sort of assumed development. Many people endeavor to reach goals
within a finite time by setting deadlines.

It is roughly similar to purpose of aim, the anticipated result which guides reaction, or an end, which is an
object, either a physical object or an abstract object, that has intrinsic value.

Failure refers to the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the
opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases
leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.”

Much talking is the cause of danger. Silence is the means of avoiding misfortune. The talkative parrot is shut up in a
cage. Other birds, without speech, fly freely about.”

Play refers to a range of voluntary, intrinsically motivated activities that are normally associated with
pleasure and enjoyment.[1] Play is essentially an activity which a person enjoys alone, though it can involve
others, who perceive the play from their perspective and may not be in the mood for play. Play is most
commonly associated with child activities, and when engaged in by an adult they may be described as "childish"
or "child at heart". Play can consist of an amusing, pretend or imaginary activity alone or with another. The rites
of play are evident throughout nature and are perceived in people and animals, particularly in the cognitive
development and socialization of those engaged in developmental processes and the young. Play often
entertains props, tools, animals, or toys in the context of learning and recreation. Some play has clearly defined
goals and when structured with rules is called a game. Whereas, some play exhibits no such goals nor rules and
is considered to be "unstructured" in the literature.
