Interpretation

What this quote means

Intuition can guide us even when we lack logical reasoning.

This quote by Albert Einstein emphasizes the importance of intuition and inspiration in decision-making. Einstein suggests that there are moments when we have a profound sense of certainty about our choices, even if we are not consciously aware of the reasoning behind them. This aligns with the idea that our subconscious mind can process information in ways that our conscious mind may not immediately comprehend, leading to insights that feel inherently right.

I don't look at emails, Internet or newspapers before 1 P.M. I wake at 7 A.M., eat fruit, drink tea or coffee, and read what I've achieved, or not achieved, the previous day.
