Story telling

I was playing a game with my daughter where in I told her that I will state some facts and she has to spin a story based off of the facts. So I stated the following facts (given in the next paragraph) and asked her to spin different stories based on the stated facts. (This is just an exercise, the facts may or may not be true)

Albert Einstein's wife was Mileva Einstein. She was the only woman in physics department at Zurich Polytechnic where Albert Einstein studied. In fact she was the only person to score higher than Einstein in Mathematics. She got married to Einstein and has a significant contribution in Albert Einstein's research. But history never remembered his wife. On the other hand Marie curie's husband Pierre  curie was also a scientist. When Nobel prize committee wrote him a letter informing him that he had won a Nobel prize, Pierre asked if his wife was also going to be honored. But he was told only  him would be honored. He wrote to the committee acknowledging the honor but rejecting it as his wife was not included in the honor. He said the papers he wrote has significant input from his wife. The committee budged and gave the Nobel prize to both the husband and wife

Story1: Albert Einstein is a bad man because he did not care about what his wife did for him and only wanted to carry on with his own agenda and that he was really selfish. On the other hand  Marie Curie's husband was a really good man because he wanted to give credit for what Marie Curie deserved.

Story2: Albert Einstein was a really good man because what if Albert Einstein has checked with his wife and she did not want any attention/credit because she was one of those people who would not feel happy with all the attention. On the other hand Marie Curie's husband was a really bad man because he didn't check if Marie was ok with all the credit and attention. what if Marie did not want to be famous in which case Pierre Curie did it without her permission.

Story3: Albert Einstein may be neither good nor bad. He would have been too much involved with what he was doing and didn't even bother about anything else. Marie's husband was a horrible man because what if he thought about it and he knew that being famous could have some really bad problems and he did not want to face those problems alone so he pulled Marie into it with him.


Interesting right.


Looking forward to

Most of the times I noticed that looking forward to a particular day or an event or a trip is more happier and fun than the actual event or a trip. If we can create something to look forward to at frequent intervals in our life, that will definitely bring more happiness to our overall being
