Amsterdam, May 4, 2022 — One day Albert Einstein wrote on the blackboard:
9 x 1 = 09 9 x 2 = 18 9 x 3 = 27 9 x 4 = 36 9 x 5 = 45 9 x 6 = 54 9 x 7 = 63 9 x 8 = 72 9 x 9 = 81 9 x 10 = 91
Suddenly there was chaos in the room because Albert Einstein was wrong, the correct answer for 9 x 10 is 90 and all his students laughed at him.
So Albert Einstein waited for everyone to shut up and said:
Even though I had correctly analyzed the nine questions, no one congratulated me, but when I missed only one question, everyone laughed; it means that even if a person is very successful, society will notice their smallest mistake and they will enjoy it. So don’t let criticism destroy your dreams, the only person who never makes a mistake is the one who does nothing.”
