About This Quote

Seek happiness in tranquility and avoid ambition even if it be only the apparently innocent one of distinguishing yourself in science and discoveries. In this quote, Albert Einstein warns against seeking to distinguish yourself from other people. It is not necessary to distinguish yourself by being the best at everything. Instead, Einstein suggests that we should seek out happiness and enjoy life as it comes. No matter what success may come from it, we should not strive for a particular goal that will cause us to be unhappy.
