Recently I could listen on radio, a very interesting interview to Fernando, where he is explained the reason of the tittle “…….can be Einstein”.He explained that when Einstein was a child, he was not a good student and he could not get a help from his mother: she said to him that he was an useless.Then, he was so discouraged –although his father was affectionate--.

Albert Einstein had the mazing opportunity to study out of his town.He went to live with another family and he seemed to be happy.But the real happy and important moment for Albert came when a professor of him invited him to attend his class gratis; it was wonderful for Albert, because that meant an injection of morality, self-esteem; at least, Albert was listened by someone……It was the first time when he was valued, when someone believed in him.He felt affection.That professor begged reviews to Albert; it was very important for him.
Albert´s mother was a violinist; but Albert preferred the piano

Another important idea, in the life of Albert, was the Method; it consisted of using the right hemisphere of the brain –the right hemisphere controls imagination and creativity--.Then, Albert found solutions in the right hemisphere and his wife helped him to formulate mathematically –his wife used the left side of the brain (the left hemisphere), that controls the logic, the Mathematic.
Fernando thinks that intellectual coefficient is useless, that the real important thing is the affection; stimulate the right hemisphere of the brain.
Fernando thinks that a mistake in School is to penalize students.The method used is based on fear of failure, instead of stimulating the imagination.He gives as an example, an exercise that he put to their students.He says: I asked my students: "Eight snails of a basket, leaving three, how many are left?".Usually, everybody should answer 5; but "Eight, 'said one,' because they have left the shell, but not in the basket".It is a response that should not be penalized!.
Fernando also says that It is very important that students learn well to read and write, because it will open them a lot of doors in their lives.As more things they learn reading, as smarter they will be. "Learning is experience, the rest is information," said Einstein. You do not learn things because you are smart: learn things makes you smarter.
“If you really are intelligent, you will be happy”, says Fernado.
Intelligence consists on resolve problems, and the most difficult problem is to be happy.
Fernando says thet it is very important to teach children to overcome obstacles. To see the extraordinary in the ordinary. In every act has consequences. And to truly love.
Fernando thinks that you can love, without expecting anything in return. Nothing brings as much happiness as do the other person happy without you even knowing it.
Then, our children will be less dependent on the fortunes and be able to do what it is proposed.
Kind regards,
Luis.
