Perspective 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 hall because Albert Einstein was wrong, the correct answer for 9 x 10 is 90 and all his students made fun of 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 only missed one question, everyone started laughing; it means that even if a person is very successful, society will notice his 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 doesn't do anything."
