Stories of bite sized sub-chapters that always ends with a distinctive take-away statement. From his generatio’s standard metrics, Einstein was not set up or envisioned to succeed. However, he insatiably curious, impressively humble, and radically freedom-loving. This may be what propelled him to spend every day researching the truth of physics from a patent office (not a university lab).
He may not have had the respect of authority that would have helped him succeed faster, but he ended up revolutionizing science at the age of 26 and prove the theory of relativity at age of 40.
Key is to work hard every day and not be drowned by noise.
