Albert Einstein said - “If A is Success, then the formula for success is A= X+Y+Z, where X is WORK; Y is PLAY; and Z is KEEPING YOUR MOUTH SHUT!” What do you think and what is your formula for success? Why?

  1. Great scientist Albert Einstein invented his formula for success. His formula is combination work, play and keeping your mouth shut. In my opinion, he including this elements, because worked a lot, but found time for entertainment and if he couldn't keep silent, then his inventions wouldn't have been his achievements. I think, formula is working, because he, in due course, has achieved a lot in his life. But analyzing my life, in my opinion, formula is different.
    Firstly, my successes depends on work, because if do nothing, then something achieve practically unrealistic. Also, it's purposefulness, because failing someone may give up and can not achieve anything.
    Well, the last one is luck, because in our life it's very important to be in that place at that time.

  2. Everybody knows that Albert Einstein was a great physicist. How many important things did he invented? Maybe, physics wouldn't be so hard, if Einstein hadn't been. Do you know that he invented the first fridge? Thanks to him, now we can eat foods at night in our kitchens😅 I guess, everyone want to be successful like Einstein. So let's follow his formula for success. I think, it is a perfect way to achieve our goals. The first item(x) is the most important. If you don't work, you will be a loser. It is unavoidable. Thank to the second item, Einstein didn't become completely crazy. I think, if you always have a nervous strain, one day your brain will explode. As to the third item, I think, there are a lot of people who want to steal your idea. Sometimes they are even your friends. So, you should think long and hard before you say something.
    I completely agree with the Einstein's formula for success. But sometimes, I don't follow it (because I'm very lazy😂).

  3. I agree with Albert Einstein, because successful human can not be understood without some formula. Maybe every important person have crazy desires and thinks. Nicolo Tesla, Pablo Picasso, Galileo Galileus, Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton and other have different crazy ideas, that can't
    be bealived in their time, such as gravity laws, telescope, sphere Earth, electric power and etc. Mankind have not researched world yet, so our brood(childs) can put some research in history, such as time machine, teleportation and other technic, nature and world-type develops. Of course, different people have different traits and kind of thinking.
    My success formula will be: A = W + P + Z + X; where is W - weird, X - hard work, P - games, Z - mostly keep mouth shout. So I can't guess, what is others success formula but I guess, that every person can be smart and geniusly.

  4. I think it is great Einstein’s quote. This quote is so useful for us and we can follow it all our life. In my opinion X and Y are trivial parts of life. People need to work, or rather work hard to achieve their goal. Only when you always try, learn from your mistakes, practice – that means you work. And don’t forget about play. Play means relaxation. Time when you can whatever you want: meets with friends, watching films, listening music, just walks, time that you spend just for fun and make your mind calm. And what about Z? I suppose it means that you need to stop spend time on gibble-gabble. If you want to do something, you should start now instead of talking about it.
    About me, I don’t have exactly formula for success. I have rules that we need to follow:
    1. Believing in yourself. While other people doubt or criticize you, the force that can rise you and your spirit up is believing. When you believe in yourself, you see that everything is achievable. Never underestimate yourself and believe you are as good as everyone else.
    2. Block out negative thoughts and people. Stop think about your failures and shake off all of the naysayers who are just trying to put you down and ruin your day.
    3. Don’t get distract you by other things. Be focused and disciplined. Remind yourself of your target everyday.
    4. Work hard.
    5. Take action now. Stop making excuses. You can do everything. Just. Don’t. Waste. Your. Time!

  5. I think this formula for success is really successful and can be used in real life situations. All elements in formula are important. There is no one that should be deleted, you can only add an optional one. But often more appropriate to change the elements of the formula according to the events through which we need to go to get A.
    Sometimes to reach A we need to work hard, have less time to play and talk a lot to present ourselves. Then we obtain the formula: A = X² + ✓Y + 3Z. Another situation when we have more free time and can relax. This is also important, because after hard work you need to rest in order to not lose you reason. In this case, the formula for success has form: A = ¼X + 9Y + Z. Sometimes it's better to stay silent and just to work quietly. This can help us to prevent problems when we must carefully listen to someone or not interfere when it is not necessary. In this way, formula looks like A= X² + ⅛Y + (Z⁴)².
    Similarly, the formula can be changed according to different situations. But never remove one of its elements, otherwise you will get A * 0 as a result.

    2. Oh no, I just tried to show my thoughts most correctly. Of course, I do not have all the answers and I do not know mathematics so well. Therefore, with all due respect to him, I only temporary imagined myself to be one of those who tried to wrote modern theorems and axioms based on the old ones. I tried to show my opinion very confidently. Although it looks very arrogant, I did not do it for bragging.

  6. As for me, so the formula for Einstein's success can be corrected. I believe that times have changed that to use this formula. Now I would introduce this forumula like this: A = F + R + M. In this formula A is success, F is friends, R is relation and M is money.In the modern world, a lot of money. Without money, your success is almost impossible. Of course there are people who went out to people not because of money, but there are very few of them. On the other hand, it is also important to have connections. In today's world without them, nowhere. Also, for success, we need people who can support you and no one will do it better than your friends. I think is so optimal formula for current world.

    1. Of course, I respect your opinion, but some of your points are controversial... Think about Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Do you really believe that success is impossible without money? Impossible is POSSIBLE! Looks like we are going to have a discussion tomorrow:)

  7. I think that Albert Einstein's formula of success in our life is really interesting idea which makes us wonder about what is most important in our life. Of course everyone has his own view and formula, but I think that components of this formula must make you happy. In some way I agree with Einstein, but there are some difference. So, my 4 components of this formula:
    1) Have fun. Your life must be exciting and interesting.
    2) Find a job, which you really like and improve yourself. We can learn new language, take up some sport etc. We have to get a job to earn money, but it doesn't mean we must work from morning till night otherwise, you won't have time to relax and have fun.
    3) Friends. I think these people can support you, help you to deal with your problem, because sometimes you need help, and it's people who always have idea how to have a good time.
    4) Probably, find someone you love and share the joy of every moments in your life with him/her.
    Eventually, formula of success look like this : A = J + F1 + F2 + S, where J - job, F1 - fun, F2 - friends, and S - someone spesial.

  8. I agree with Einstein because he really speak the truth. First element - work. We can't image successful person who did absolutely nothing to become who he/she is now. So hard work is basis. But we should remember that it's unnormal to work 24/7. We're alive beings and we need time for relaxing - it's second. And I understand third component like realize your thoughts, don't speak about them, don't let people steal your ideas,don't let them doubt in your words and let them just see you results.

    What about my formula, I can only add a couple of elements to Einstein's formula. So my fourth component will be friends. It's necessary to have somebody who will support you, maybe help and never let you lazy nature give up. And fifth thing is creativity. Stand out, be diffenent and show the world things that it has never seen before. So my formula is A=X+Y+Z+F+C, where F is friends and C is creativity.

  9. I mostly agree with Einstein's formula and I think that a person who follows this formula has 99.9% to become a successful person. But in order to become 100% prosperous personality you should invent your own formula for success. I hate math, so I'd better express my thoughts in 2 items: 1- have a goal and 2- work hard in order to achieve this goal.
    First of all, if you're lazy, you have no choice (ZERO percent) to become rich and successful person. So, it all depends on how hard you'll work in the future. And as I said you're on your way to success if you have a goal. And from now on you must start thinking about your studying, future job and in general- your should start planning your future right now in order not to lose a minute of your precious time.

    Thank you.

      Delete
    2. I think that if you're lazy it's kind of difficult to get rid of this laziness without help. To start doing something, you need a person who will be like a stimulus for you.
      So I disagree with this statement. Only hard-working person can achieve something in our modern world.

      Delete
    3. But if you're talking in general, I must agree with this statement. Because only lazy people create things like robots, phones, the Internet, etc. In some aspect our laziness make our life much more easier.

  10. As for this formula, I completely agree with it. In this formula has all the components of success. We should work hard to achieve the desired, but also to find time for entertainment and rest. And last item, is keeping your mouth shut. It means that speech of the successful person should not be verbose.

    I think there is much for us to learn from Albert Einstein, because he was a very wise and intelligent man. Einstein had reached improbable success with the help of his formula.
    I think that everyone has their own formula for success. As for me, my formula looks like this: A= W+F+L+R; where W is favorite job, F=friends and family, L-love and R-relax

  11. On my opinion, you can’t derive single formula for success, because world developing constantly and you must adapt fast, if you want be successful. Maybe, Albert Einstein was right about his formula, but it was working at his time, when skies were “brighter” and grass were “greener”. So, depending on environment, you must change formula and add different variables, so it can be fitted to modern world. You must consider people around you, political situation, your financial capability and, of course, your personality. You can reach success in different ways, some of which may be even unlawful. Your life – your decisions(and, sometimes, not only yours).

    1. I can't absolutely agree with you. You said that his formula had been working at his time. But I think this formula still works. Nowadays we even need to work harder than previously, because competition in each spheres is high! And of course find time for rest. And start action now. I agree about adding different viriables which can be fitted to modern world, but Einstein's formula is basis. The world is changing up everyday, but people is still like they were.

  12. Albert Einstein was really a genius. He made a lot of inventions which are still using. One of them is formula for success if A is Success then A=X+Y+Z, where X is work, Y is play and Z is keeping your mouth shut. I'm completely agree with his theory. Hardworking , playing and silence is a foundation of success, but sometimes it isn't enough. So I want to improve Albert's formula.
    Firstly to be a successful person you should have a goal or try yourself in different activities and hobbies to understand what you want the most. Secondly when you know what you really want you should focus on it and stop wasting your time in something unnecessary and uninteresting for you. Moreover you should be veeery inspired and motivated to do everything what you can and to work as hard as you can. And of course you shouldn't be lazy,so after I finish to write this composition I will start to learn my speaking topic. Thirdly NEVER GIVE UP, you can change everything, it's never too late, there is nothing impossible in this world, if you will knock all the doors, one definitely will open. All limitations are in our head, they are improsed us by society. To be successful you should follow you heart and only.
    This is my formula of success and it's time for speaking topic)))

  14. "Success" is the word that everyone understands is his/her own way.
    I agree with Albert Einstein's formula of success that hard work is one of the main components that leads to success. Once my father quoted N. Clark : " If you find an easy way it will lead to nowhere ." Since then this quote has become my life's motto. I really believe that in order to succeed in something you have to work hard and love what you do.
    So now my formula of success is S = W + L + F+ G where W is work, L is love what you do, F is faith in yourself and G is good luck. I consider my father an example of a successful person who owes his success to hard everyday work and great belief in what he does. I am ready to follow his example.
    I have great plans for my future and I hope I will be successful in realizing them.

  15. I know that Albert is very smart, but this formula is so strange for me. For example why I need to keeping my mouth shut. vice versa i need to talk more about my plan, to reach success. Play? Ok, there is some truth. Our work must be interestning, play is the best way to do it. And the most important is work. In my opinion we must work hard to be successful. So the truth formula is: Success = W² + T × M, where w - work, t - time, m - motivation. Please direct your attention to work in square, it is very important.

    SUCCESS = W² + T × M

  16. I think Albert Einstein was right and we should listen to his advice because he was a man who achieved incredible success and became the world famous scientist. So this guy probably knew what he was doing and his words can be useful for us now. Without work we clearly won’t attain anything. And if someone has a talent or an aptitude that will be a disservice for him or her. People are lazy creatures so if we get something in easy way we become lazier. Game is probably the most important part of success and our life. We are not machines and we can’t just work and work. We should spend our time effective. Actually I think that life is a game so we can’t know everything but we can win in our game. And the third part is important too because we like to tell everyone about our plans and achievements but our actions have to mean more than our words. That’s the part which I don’t have enough. I like to tell friends about my future plans and so on. My formula for success lies in that I don’t care about my fails and always try to concentrate on my good sides. I don’t pay attention on obstacles or problems and in each situation I try to find benefits and abilities.

  17. I think that the Einstein's formula of success is effective, but not in every situation.
    Most of all I don't like this letter:"Z - keeping your mouth shut".
    I think that there are cases when "keeping your mouth shut" will disserve. In many cases, to achieve success, you need to take the initiative, that contradicts this statement.
    My success formula is different, and, in my opinion, a little bit strange. It is
    H = E + L + P + M + e, where H is success, E -desire, L-hardworking, P-creativity M - motivation, E - case. Why is it strange? I think, because of the point "case". You can often meet the question "Why am I so beautiful, and he is worse but he achieved more?" And if you exclude bad ways, then there is only luck. This man was helped a lot by the case, he was at the right time in the right place. Most people do not understand that randomness also plays a very important role. But of course it does not mean that everything depends on case. If you try and believe in yourself, you will always succeed!

  18. I realized that, maybe, it’s his best formula(at least I like this one more than E=mc² …).
    So, let's pull this formula apart:
    A= X+Y+Z.
    A-success. “The man who has done his level best, and who is conscious that he has done his best, is a success” – B.C. Forbes.

    X-work. I don't think that you will get some good money for lying on the couch. And if you want to become successful person you need to work hard every day by doing what you like. You need to be professional of your craft, because the better you working, the more you get paid, and the more successful you are at life.

    Y-play. I don’t know what it means for sure, but I assume, it is about leisure time. I think that people work hard to make their rest better. So, there's no point in working 24/7, sometimes you just need to let the whole things go and enjoy life.

    Z- KEEPING YOUR MOUTH SHUT. It said "actions speak louder than words" and I agree with this statement, because outstanding persons are known for what they did, not for what they said.

    The formula is very cool, helpful and I think that a lot of people became successful thanks to her. But I don’t have any formulas and big plans to become successful. I'm just listening to my heart and trusting my intuition.

  19. Einstein had his own formula for success. One of the greatest minds on the planet came up with a mathematical formula for success! And so, according to Einstein's theory, if A equals success, then the formula looks like: A = X + Y + Z, where X is work, Y is game, Z keeps mouth on castle.
    X- Albert Einstein was a hardworking. He devoted his whole life to scientific research.
    Y- At the same time, he always devoted time to entertainment and useful rest.
    Z-Einstein did not mean strict observance of the vow of silence, but only the ability to hold his tongue in appropriate situations.
    I completely agree with this formula, but I would add a couple more points.
    Belief in yourself. Do not ever let someone say that you can not do something. If there is a dream, protect it.
    Deliver the work to the end and appreciate your work.

  20. Hmm, quite an interesting formula for success Albert Einstein. I liked its two components is to work and play. It seems to me that these components of success you just provided. You may ask, why with these components? And I'll explain everything. To be successful, you have to work hard, to be persistent, to go for your goals. A second component is generally very easy. You have to imagine that your life is a game. Computer game. Every day is a new level. And every day you perform some homework, they can be both light and complex. But the third component I slightly disagree. Not all cases need to be silent, in most cases, you need to defend your opinion, and there is no way you can't keep a secret.
    And here it was my turn to tell you about my success formula. I think that it is quite simple, but quite effective. A = X+ Y+ Z+ H. Where X is knowledge, because in our world without knowledge anywhere, and the success they play a very important role. Y - environment, I believe that this component depends on the entire formula for success, if your environment will support you, then you will be much easier to reach the goal. Z - job. But H is confidence, without this component you will not be able to reach its goal, in our world, this quality is great value. I think that's it. Hope you liked it.

  21. To begin with, I want to say that the formula for success for everyone is different. For Einstein, success is due to the fact that he does what he wants and he likes it, but he must remain silent so that his inventions are not appropriated to another name. For me, success is a good job that brings a lot of money, good and faithful friends and diversion. If there is money, I can not limit myself to any entertainment, but I myself will be bored and therefore have friends. This is my formula for success.

  22. Einstein was smart person. So i won't say that he is stupid, but I wanna say that hia formula not fully right. Y which means PLAY for our time is stupid. I think for our times formula must be like this A=(X+R)*Z where R means rest. You must work than rest, work than rest and keep your mouth shut every time. So half of me agree with Einstein, half don't. Also I think that for different epoches must be different formulas

  23. I believe that Albert Enshtein has invented a very effective way to succeed in his life. But in our time, this formula, in my opinion, needs to be slightly changed.
    With difficulty and rest, I completely agree, because the main thing in success is work, but without rest, efficiency will be low and there will be no desire to do something.
    With the last tip I do not entirely agree. Every person should express his thoughts and ask questions on facts unknown to you. Although there are situations that are better to keep silent.
    In my opinion, it is necessary to add perseverance.
    My form looks like this: A = X + Y + P. X - work. Y-play. P - persistence.

  24. I think that Albert Einstein was right and his formula is working. But as success for me comes with time. And a successful person can not be poor. And that to be successful one needs to work a lot and not only in the specialty but also on oneself. we should not forget about entertainment. I think that we need to live to the maximum. but still not a little important aspect in the success of a person is family and friends. That would be a successful person you need to work hard, have good friends and family.

    Albert Einstein was a great scientist . His formula for succes (X,Y,Z) is completely suitable for hardworking people who want to achieve their lige goals. Works. Plays . Silense. Person can't achieve result without works . But it is imporsible to live without relax(play) too. A lot work can harm your health and you will die. So relax is one of the element of my formula for success . I do not agree with third element,becouse I do not even understand what it is meaning-silence,so my formula consists of only two elememts:works(X) and relax(Y).

  26. I think this is very philosophic topic because the formula of success must be different for every person. For example, if we speak about study there are a lot of different kinds of people. Someone can reach success by hardworking and spending all nights long reading something about study and without any rest. Another person can easy succeed by reading a material for one time and spend her or his free time in other ways. But someone can't remember any necessary information just because he or she finds it very difficult.
    Yes, Albert Einstein was a genius and known something about success. But there are over seven billion people on the our planet and all of them are different by their nature. I don't want to say that this statement about "A=X+Z+Y" isn't true, but i think the formulas of success can be various for every person.
    What about me, I think i am too young for making conclusions about my life. So let me tell you about my components of success separately. First of all, it's work. Of course,i mustn't t be lazy and stuff, but working for a very long time might make every person tired. So after work we must rest. Watching TV, series, painting or sleeping, it doesn't matter. Finally, I am completely agree with famous scientist about the third component of success: keeping my mouse shut. We spend a lot of time complaining about or problems. And sometimes, telling someone about our achievements can spoil everything.
    To conclude, just don't mind about formulas of success and stuff. Just do thing what you need to do and be happy.

  27. Albert Einstein is a famous great scientist who discovered a "Law of Relativity", brought a lot of formulas, create some teories and many others. But I am radically disagree with this formula.
    First of all, I think that this uncorrect, because all people not the same and existence of one constanta for all is unreal thing. Of course, for author this statement is true. But all humans mustn't complete rules or formulas what be created by somebody more than 100 years ago.
    For second, this formula outdated for nowdays and i can prove this. At moment of creeative under word "work" Albert minded do something full of concentration and delve in your minds. Now you can do something what you like and get money for this. Work migrate colossal changes and now of formula must be transformed or deleted.
    Despite of this, some people refer to " Formula Of Success". Maybe it is only because Einstein is famous scientist and somebody thinks that all his statement is true.
    I haven't any formulas. Because I do what i like. Is it a freedome?
