Einstein's Life and Journey to Exellence

Period: Mar 19, 1879 to Apr 18, 1955

Meets his Uncle Jakob, and Max Talmud

Mar 24, 1890

Trait: Mentor
In this event, Talmud and Einstein's uncle Jakob were the mentors.
This event shows mentorship (not by itself, but it triggered it) because: a) his Uncle Jakob inspired Einstein to love algebra (without him, Einstein wouldn't have enjoyed math as much, and wouldn't have achieved all that he did), and b) Max Talmud introduced Einstein to popular science books, which triggered his interest in science.
(I don't know which day & month he met them, but it's required to put them)

Packs Belongings to Leave Germany on a Train

Dec 29, 1894

Trait: Intuition and Visualization
This trait shows intuition because Einstein hated being in Germany without his family, so, without anybody telling him to, he packed his belongings and went on a train to Italy, where his family was.
This shows visualization because Einstein saw that if he stayed in Germany, he would definitely be forced to join the army, which he did not want to join.

Decides to Help Fundraise for the Establishment of Israel

Nov 23, 1919

Traits: Reflection, Communty Service, Goal-Setting
This event shows:
a) Reflection at first, because "at first, Albert was reluctant", but then he reflected upon the idea, and then stepped out of his comfort zone, leading to...
b) Community Service, because he chose to fundraise for the greater good of the Jewish people, and
c) Goal-setting, because his goal was to fundraise enough to help Weizmann "establish a Jewish national state in Palestine."

Begins to Give Lectures Around the World

Apr 12, 1921

Trait: Mentor, Community Service
This event shows:
a) Einstein being a mentor to the people in the audience who listened, because he may have inspired some of them to pursue science (or at least taught them something), and
b) Community Service because he was lecturing to raise money to establish a Jewish state in Palestine, so that they could live in a safer place away from the Nazis, and face much less discrimination.

Decides to leave his country home in Caputh, Germany

Sep 19, 1931

Trait: Reflection
This event shows this trait because, although Albert loved Caputh, he reflected upon what was really going on around him. So, because of his reflection, he realized that as a Jew and a pacifist, it would be very dangerous to remain in Germany any longer.

Continues to speak out against war

Jul 23, 1932

Traits: Uniqueness, Intuition
This event shows:
a) Uniqueness because Einstein was one of only 2 or 3 scientists who continued to oppose war, and
