“We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." -Albert Einstein
*What do you think this quote means? What does it mean to
you personally?
*Give an example from your own life when you have seen
yourself or someone else experience this.
Albert Einstein once said “We are all equally wise, and equally foolish” What he means when he says this is that we are all dumb and stupid in our own ways. We all chose different paths to take which molds the person we become. One person could be good in school and everything but then forgets to have fun and misses all the good time they good have had. Also there could be a football player whos really good at what he does then do drugs and loses everything they’ve had. these are some examples how we are all wise and we are all dumb.
ReplyDeleteTo me it does mean a lot and i can refer to it because I can admit I have done some stupid things in my life. Then on the other hand I have also been very wise at some moments and really helped me out. Like i remember one time in elementary I was such a cry baby I would cry about everything and anything i could. Just even the smallest things made me cry, even to this day i don’t know why I was like that. I think something that shows I was wise at one point was that I never followed the wrong crowd. Where I grew up wasn’t any place horrible, but my parents had made it a horrible place to be. I’m surprised the way i turned out because my whole life i was with my parents which made bad decisions but they never caught up to me. Also being dumb a little bit helps you learn from your mistakes and in the end just make you a better person overall.
This actually reminds me of one of my best friends. He was smart probably even smarter than me at some points but he never wanted to do any of his homework or work and in the end he got held back. Hes doing better now bc he realized what he did so this is a perfect example. How my friend was wise, but he was also foolish when it came to his choices about doing work. I’ve always stayed on top of me work because if u think about it just doing homework can really affect your grade. Thats the main reason why he got held back he was probably one of the smartest people i know.
Albert Einstein once said "We are all equally wise, and equally foolish" I think that this means that we are all smart but dumb in our own ways. We all can be smart when we want to and we can all be dumb when we want too. Even is somebody takes a longer time to get something then someone else that doesn't mean that they aren't smart like ever body else. I know that there is people in the world that are way smarter then I am, but I know that I am smart. I am one of those people who have to look at everything to get it. And everyone can be foolish. I know that have been foolish before and I know that my friends have too.
ReplyDeleteWhat this means to me personally like I said before I know I am smart but I have to look at everything to understand some things. I can be foolish when I want to and I can be dumb. some days I really don't try and that's when I can be foolish because I know that I am smarter then that and I know that I can do better then what I did. I just have to put the effort into and sometimes I don't. Going back to the wise part, you would never know who is smart and is isn't as smart. People may be in low classes or may be in high classes and that doesn't mean they are very smart or that they are dumb. They might just need more help then others and that's okay because I know that I need help sometimes, everybody needs help sometime in school or at doing anything.
An example from my life that I can explain this quote is when I'm in school. I am smart and I can get good grades when I want to. I have to in the effort to get what I want and sometimes that can we hard. Or I can just be lazy. Also I can be dumb. I do dumb things just like everybody else and I say dumb things. Its just apart of life. Everyone does. Dumb things that I've done in school would be not doing my work. If I don't do my work that equals bad grades. Also I would stop doing my homework because I didn't want to do and I was lazy or I wanted to do something else.
This is what this quotes means to me personally and examples from my life.
I really like how you said that you can be smart when you want to. I am the same way and feel as if I could do better in school if I just listened. This is a very good example and the meaning to you was also great. Nice blog and example.
DeleteI like how you said it can take longer for someone to do things. That happens to me there are people that it can take a while to finish a worksheet but it takes me not to long to finish worksheets depending on the subject. That is why i agree with megans blog.
DeleteThe quote by albert einstein "We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." Can mean many different things to many different people. But to me i think that it means that we are all smart in our own ways, and as equally smart if we all just tried. Also we are just as equally as foolish or stupid maybe even dumb. Everyone is as foolish in the way with how they can goof off and not do what they are supposed to do. I think it also means that we all have our own strengths but are equal with others strengths. We all have are own weakness that are as weak as others weaknesses. There is also the way that we can all be smarter in school and terrible at knowing abiut sports. Others are better at knowing sports and terrible at school. I can relate this to my life with how i have my strengths in math and history. But i have my weaknesses in science and english. My sister is good at english and science but terrible at math and history. That is what i think the quote " we all equally wise, and equally foolish." By Albert Einstein.
ReplyDeleteI agree. We all are smart in are ways. We all do different things that are great or not. We all do have are weakness and we should be more wiser and learn from are mistakes
DeleteThe quote “We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." was once said by Albert Einstein. This quote means to me that everyone has their flaws. Everyone will make great choices but they will also make their bad ones. Also this means that you shouldn't make fun of people because you are just equally foolish,just like the quote says, as the other person. Someone may look or act like they are more foolish or more smarter than you but if you think about it you guys are equally with your foolishness and your wiseness. I can relate this quote to one time in my life. That time is in one of my classes. In that class this kid kept making fun of someone on their mistakes that they were making. And the kid that was making fun of the other kid thought he was the smartest in the whole class. But then right after he made fun of the other kid he was getting a couple answers wrong as well. it was so funny to see the kid that was so cocky about getting everything right getting things wrong.Just goes to show it that even the best can make mistakes and be foolish. As albert Einstein says we are all equally foolish. Just like everyone makes mistakes, its not a bad thing everyone does it. In conclusion, Albert Einstein once said “We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." and that this quote means that everyone is the same and you shouldn't make fun of anyone for making mistakes because you probably make the same amount of mistakes as them. Also that in real life situations you can relate this quote and remember that everyone's similar one way or another.
ReplyDeletei agree with your blog. i agree with your blog because everybody makes a bad choice. we all make way more good choices too. also iagree because everybody is equally foolish and equally wise at the same time.
DeleteI agree with you Carly. I agree with you because everyone does make bad mistake because they were probably acting foolish. But its those good choices that we make because we were acting wise.
Delete"We are all equally wise, and foolish."-Albert Einstein. What this quote means is that we are all smart but we all make money mistakes. To me personally it means that I am smart but sometimes I will do foolish thing like get in trouble. I remember when I was thirteen I did some foolish stuff like prank people. On the other hand I was quite wise when it come to mathematics and saying something to help other people and sometimes myself. I have a friend that was getting bullied but could not to anything because he live two hours a way. The only thing I could do was talk and text him but some of my words help him through a suicide stage. He is fine now but we keep in touch and talk I think over spring break I will see him. We have our own individual strengths and weaknesses. Some might have a hard time in language art but someone else might be strong in it. Word are never not the only thing that can make you wise actions of another form of wisdom. That old saying "actions speak louder than words" that is also an example of someone that was or is wise.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your blog Daniel. In our lives we will make many mistakes. Sometimes we are very smart and other times we will do foolish things that will get us in trouble.
Delete“We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." -Albert Einstein. To me this quote means that if we share knowledge with each other we will all be equally wise. If we tech each other foolish things they will keep getting passed on so everybody will then become equally foolish. Also everybody can be foolish in their own ways by learning different thing from different people. If you have a kid and you want them to be able to make good choices, but they are not smart in school they are just as smart as some nerd who id always making the wrong decisions. They are just two different people who are smart in different ways but they are equally smart.
ReplyDeleteWhen you are a baby you don’t know how to do anything besides breathe, blink, and move without being taught. When your parent teaches you things you will one day be equally as smart as them. It is the same thing when you are teaching a dog tricks, at first they are very foolish after practicing they will soon become very smart. When you are not being wise you are being foolish. Nobody is ever one hundred percent wise. If they were they would run out of things to be wise about. So everybody is foolish in their own ways sometimes.
For my grandparents who were born in the nineteen forties they are just learning in these past couple years how to work with technology. For an old person to go from having almost no technology in their lives is crazy to living in a time that is all about using technology all of the time. Old people are very foolish when it comes to learning how to use technology and they have a lot to learn. Everybody is wise. Everybody is foolish. All in different ways than others.
If somebody teaches you something you never used to be serious about they took you foolishness away and replaced it with being wise. Now that one of your old weak spots is replaces you can now show another foolish person how to do something the right way. I might need a tutor for math but my math tutor might need help with history or science, so we can both help each other make old foolishness go away and replace it with being wise.
What Albert Einstein meant by “We are all equally wise, and equally foolish” was that as smart as we could be, we might not always make the brightest decisions. It is not a bad thing because everyone does make mistakes and that is just a part of life. We are all smart and foolish in our ways that makes us different from everyone else. It forms the personality of each individual that we see every day and makes them the person who they are. Some people may only use being wise over being foolish or being foolish over being wise. For example, there could be a football player who cares about pranking people and not focused on grades. On the other hand you could be a straight A student who focuses on school and takes the time to take time and do the best on as many assignments as possible. We all make wise choices in our life, but maybe sometimes the decisions could be foolish or even ridiculous. There have been times where I have been really wise in times of needs and foolish in bad times. One wise thing I did this year was in World Cultures when we had a upcoming test that we had to take involving the features and cultures we learned about in China. The teacher gave us the option to write the essay that was going to be on the test on at home so we would not have to worry about it when we take the test and only have 4 minutes left. When I had to take tests in that class I never wanted to do the essay question at home and just worry about it when I take the test and have that as the last thing to do while I take the test. For the chapter unit on China, I knew that it wasn’t going to be easy and it was going to take a while to finish so I wrote the essay at home to save some time at school for when I take the test the next day. There were other times where I was foolish like not doing the essay for previous tests that I did in the World Culture’s class. When I didn’t decide to do the essay at home, I would have to ask for more time to finish every time. There can be times in your life where you feel wise and other times where you can be not the brightest or maybe even foolish.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Keon on his blog. How people's choices in life could form the person you become. Also how we all make our own choices and sometimes there wrong. Its ok, like Keon was saying its part of life. If we never made a mistake in life we would learn nothing from experience. This is how i agree with Keon's blog to the full extent.
DeleteAlbert Einstein once said “We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." What I think this quote means is that at certain times everyone can either be really smart, or be a little dumb too. For example, we all could be super smart at something like a certain subject, but at the same time we can do some pretty dumb things. I think that this quote can relate to me because i’m known for doing really stupid things, but sometimes instead of doing really stupid things, I do really smart things that help people. I think that i’m not very smart, but even though i think this it doesn't stop me from trying to be. I may make a bunch of foolish mistakes, but because of all of this I learn from them and I also correct them too. Personally, I think that even if we do really dumb things at times, it can make us a better person because we tend to learn from our mistakes and that helps us in life. We have all done something very wise in our life or very foolish, and because of all this we gain experience and it helps us learn from our mistakes.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alexis, there are sometimes in life where we are smarter than usual or we could make really stupid decisions that we don't think twice about. We can also compare it to subjects that we do great in, okay in, and amazing in. For me my best class other than gym is Math. I can be foolish too in situations like school work and not getting done in time. There are reasons why we make mistakes, when we look back instead of doing the same thing that caused the mistake we can change it and make it different. One thing this quote definitely can do is make us a better person and it helps us in life.
Delete“We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." -Albert Einstein These are a couple of the famous words of Albert Einstein. The way interpret this quote is that everyone is gonna make a mistake in life. There is no one in the world or will there ever be someone who doesn't make a mistake in life. There will be two or more options in life how do you know which is the right choice. For example from the age of 6 months a child sexuality is chosen , but the children have no clue but as in most cases their raised straight and think nothing of it. What if one day you woke up and said oh im gay or lesbian or pansexul or asexual everyone will see you differently because it what society finds normal and socially acceptable. When most people say ohh i support them, THERE IS YOUR MISTAKE !!!!!!! Why do they need to be accepted because that's not the way your were raised, Just think back what if your opposite of what you are now would you know. No you won't. So no matter what everyone wrong . The people who know they are and are afraid to there the ones who are wrong , There body and mind are trying to tell them something and they just push it to the back. Everyone asks why do i take this so seriously and its like asking why do i breathe. I've lost so many family and friends that if i lose anything i will just break down and yes I know this getting off topic but everyone has their ignorance level and you just have to understand why is this wrong. Why , because the Bible said it do you wanna know what it says “ Google - Answer: While the Bible does address homosexuality, it does not explicitly mention gay marriage/same-sex marriage. It is clear, however, that the Bible condemns homosexuality as an immoral and unnatural sin. Leviticus 18:22 identifies homosexual sex as an abomination, a detestable sin. ’’ Its a sin , Do you know what else is a sin lying , envy , greed. Now when you go home and comment fag or something ignorant, Think to yourself what am I hiding why am i insecure . Why do i have to hurt someone for being who they want to be ?
ReplyDeleteYou may have gotten alittle off track like you said, but I still agree wit h everything you have said. People shouldn't have to support you, they should just accept you for who you are no matter what.
Delete"we are all equally wise, and we are all equally foolish." -Albert Einstein. This quote was created by a famous man named Albert Einstein. This quote can relate to us in our daily lives. Everyone can act foolish by the decisions they make. And everyone can act wise by the decision they make too. This quote to me means that people in life have choices and with this it will depend on how you react with that choice. A lot of people may respond to it wisely while other people will respond to it foolishly. Some people may act foolish in reality so they can get attention. But to me it comes down to what the situation is. This quote can relate to me because I remember a long time ago my brother and friends wanted me to go outside but I had a lot of homework to do at the time. So I said no because it was the wise thing to do. "we are all equally wise, and equally foolish." -Albert Einstein
ReplyDeleteI agree with ish because he's right when he says that everyone acts foolish by decisions. Also that he gives a good example of the quote. Another reason why I agree with ish is because you can tell that he knows the quote.
DeleteI agree with you Ish because tons of times people just do the foolish things whether it is to look cool or because they want attention. The wise thing for you to do was stay inside and do their homework. Not many people would make that decision. I would probably flip a coin on making that choice, that is why people always wonder why their grades are so low because of their poor, foolish decisions.
DeleteWe are all equally wise, and equally foolish." -Albert Einstein this quote means that no matter what race or what religion we are both as are smart as we are dumb. We all do good thinks and bad things in this world. We should learn from it and be more wiser. In to kill a mockingbird Atticus tells them not to call a black person a nigger. This shows that he believes that all people are even and that no matter what we all have a chance to be the greatest at what we do no matter what your race or religion. If you look back at our history many of the best athletes are African American like cassius clay also known as muhammad ali. He never let his race put him down and always won and never listened to when people called him things. Malcom x didn't belive people when they called him a dumb nigger but he still was one of those smartest men. We can't just let our eyes just judge people.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is the same, and no one can say any different. Sometimes people like to make you feel like your less equal than they are. They even like to make feel that your mistakes are worse than theirs. Someone wise once said,“We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." Albert Einstein said this, and as we all know he was very productive in life and very smart. You can even use him as an example. He made mistakes and is still the same amount of equal just like everyone else around him. Just because your smarter than someone doesn't make you better, or more important than them. To me this quote means that everyone is important and we all are foolish. Everyone does something that they end up regretting, but that's just life. Personally to me I love this quote because no one should think they are better as a person than someone. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, it just depends on how we go about life that matters. We all do something foolish whether its because we are with our friends or we are by ourselves and want to do something different. Life gets to us and we are only human which makes us al equal and all equally foolish, and no one can deny that. They can try, but deep down inside they know the truth; sometimes its just hard to see.
ReplyDeleteThere were many times that I have felt that I was less equal than other people whether it was with teachers, friends, family members, or just people around the world. You see so many people on television that make you feel like you're less equal, but then there are also people who try to make you feel just as important as they are. I used to get bullied so I felt like I wasn't as important. That I was below them because I wasn't good enough for them to be nice to me. It was a dark time for me. I was depressed for the longest of time. They picked on me every day and it felt like it was never going to stop. Then I finally realized they aren't better than me and they never will be. They are just as equal to me as I am to them. Bullying someone doesn't make you more important or cooler at all. Everyone is equal, and I finally could recognize that so I stood up to them. They were shocked and left me alone, that is when I finally got out of my depression. They were foolish for bullying me and I was foolish for believing what they said.

DeleteWe are all equally wise, and equally foolish,” was said by Albert Einstein. I think this quote means that everyone is just equal. People can say they are way smarter than someone but really it is only because they would try harder than others to get to where they want to be. The person that says they are smarter may be smart but they just try than most kids. The other person that thinks they are dumb really isn’t. They just aren’t putting the time to get where they are supposed to be. I believe no one is stupid you just cannot be lazy. When you are lazy you gave up and will just set yourself up to look dumb. And when it says foolish I think it means that no matter how wise you can be you will always do something stupid. People say they are perfect and smarter than anyone else but really everyone knows that’s not true. At one point in everyone’s life they made a mistake. It isn’t fair for the people they think they are smarter than the other people to make fun of them. They can be just as smart as them if they tried the way the other people did. This quote can be important in many ways. People need to learn that everyone is the same it is just the way you want to be. Meaning if you want to try or if you want to sit there and do nothing because you are too lazy. When I read this quote I thought about my math class. Im not saying im smarter than the other people but I put more effort into the work than others. They say they are dumb but they aren’t. If they actually took the time to listen to what the teacher said then they wouldn’t think they are dumb. They would sit there and not pay attention and when it comes to the classwork they have no idea what is doing on. But when the teacher asks them about a problem they get it. Once they pay attention and show they care about their grade then they wouldn’t look less smart than anyone else. Everyone in that class is equal we can be wise and we can be foolish. It doesn’t matter what they do but try.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything youre sayng , so thank you for sharing with us ! you are so smart
DeleteAs all wise quotes are said by wise people, perhaps Albert Einstein is one of those people. He has said a quote a lot of people think about back then and still now, and what he said was. "We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." ‘We are all equally wise’ I think he was trying to get the point across that everyone is equal we all have equal decisions that affect our life in a positive and or a negative way. I feel he was trying to show people he didn't think he was better because we all know he was one smart person, but so are other people around the world. Him being the genius he was probably didn't want people thinking they were lower in education and learning then him. At one point in time he’s definitely made not so wise choices such as me,or anyone else in the world. We all are equally wise meaning we make good choices we make bad ones, which leads into ‘Equally foolish’. We all can be foolish at times, sometimes more people than others. But we all make foolish actions, anyone who says they never have they’re lying don't listen to them. So coming to a conclusion with what I think can be he didn't want people to feel less educated around him we all have equal wiseness, and we all can make mistakes being foolish. A example from my life can be for example in school. People strive for good grades and higher ranked classes to get the title “smart”. It is not how smart you are to be in those classes its how fast you grab something and can learn it you’re moving at a faster pace. The people in B track classes have the same amount of wiseness they just learn things slower. Being in a higher up class does not i feel make you any smarter than kids in lower track classes. We all are foolish someone in an Honors class can make the same mistake a kid in a lower ranked class. Its not about how much how fast you learn something. We are all equally good and bad at making choices. Hence why Albert has said this quote he’s made choices that affected him in negative and positive ways. But Albert Einstein was pretty kicking smart nobody can compete with that.
ReplyDeleteAlbert Einstein once said "We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." I believe that this quote can mean many things. To me, it means that everyone in this world is created equal. Even if someone has better knowledge on a subject, it doesn't mean the less knowledge a person has is more foolish. Everyone asks questions, even Albert Einstein himself did. Nobody comes into this world already fully understanding the universe. There are many times in this life when we are not going to understand something and we need to ask for help without being embaressed or afraid. For example, if you are in a class where you are having a hard time with the day's topic, you have to talk to the teacher. It doesn't matter if you do it during or after class but you need to speak up. Also, if you do it during class then you might actually answer someone else's question. The quote "We are all equally wise, and equally foolish" can relate to me in many ways. Sometimes I am scared to ask questions in class when I don't understand a lesson. I always thought that I would look dumb, or in the quote "foolish." This would happened a lot especially when some classmates would randomly call out that it was so easy. For example, you might be good at math and foolish in english, and your classmates might be good in english but foolish in math. It is kind of like a balance of the two minds. That classmate would be able to help you in english and you would be able to help your classmate in math. Don't be afraid to ask questions, I have learned that asking questions is the way that we all learn. Just like how you have to be willing to fail, in order to succeed because that is how we learn. I hope that one day we will live in a world where no one will be judged based on how foolish or how wise someone is. We are all born equal in this world.

ReplyDelete“We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." -Albert Einstein
I think this means a lot of things . too me though , it means that everybody that is living is equal. just because someone is smarter then other people in life . doesn't mean youre are less smart then him. everybody wonders even one of the smartest guys in the world. NO one can walk in too a class and be like oh I know this cause no one will. this quotes mean a lot too me , sometimes I don't wanna speak up and ask question cause I don't want people too think im stupid. or im not smart enough , or call me names other stuff. but I do cause I remember that just got I have a question it cant do anything but make me smarter and think more cleary
Albert Einstein once said that “We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." I think that this quote means that we can and are all smart at something but also can be equally dumb at something. One example of this is that I for one am pretty intelligent when it comes to basketball history. In fact,I can tell you about the Celtic Dynasty in the 60’s, I could probably tell you what team won the finals for the past 50 years, I could tell you the past 10 three point champions and I could tell you who has the most 3 point field goal attempts, the best percentage and who made the most. When it comes to basketball, I am probably the wisest person but there are things that I am satisfactory in. For example I am foolish in soccer and hockey. If you put me on a soccer field I would be clueless. I wouldn’t know what to do and I would probably mess up the game. If you put me in hockey , I would be horrendous and foolish because 1, I can’t skate and 2, I don’t know the rules, or strategies of the game. What I mean by strategies is like in basketball, if you are up by 4 points with a minute left, you would hold the ball and stop trying to score to secure the win. But in hockey, I wouldn’t have any idea on what to do. Another example is NBA 2k15. I am practically a god in that game. I can get everybody’s shot release perfect, I can play defense where you’re guys will go cold (Cold=where they won’t be able to score like they normally do because they’ve been missing and shooting too much) I can do jaw-dropping dunks to the point where you will want to quit and not play me again. But in call of duty I am foolish. I am absolutely terrible at call of duty. I wouldn’t even get 1 kill, I should be banned from playing the game for how many times I quit and get killed. But my friend Genaro is amazing at call of duty, he can name every gun in the game, and can go on 20 kill streaks but when it comes to 2k, his skills are lacking, I beat him by 40+ every time we play and he doesn’t like playing me, but when we play Call of Duty he destroys me and I won’t play him again. In conclusion, we are all wise at something but lack in otherareas.
ReplyDeleteWhat this quote means is that we are all very wise as much as us being very foolish. the best example of people that are presidents. our presidents do really good things but can also do really stupid things. for a example George Washington was smart for wanting the U.S. being its on independent country but he was not a very good at being a war general. He lost SO many battles but he stilled manage to win the war. And we werent even wining the war till the veery end of it because thats when vally forge happen and of course George being a very good motivational speaker he manage to keep his army through the brutal weather conditions. So that is a good example of a good this time this quote making sense. There was no point of my life that i cant remember of this quote even relating to me. But i can say in a lot of books and movies this is very good for plots. Especially in war movies or fantasy movies when the man character gets very cocky and thinks he can take on the world. This usually occurs in the middle of the series for a example is the series the Hobbit. There are also a lot more things that this occurs in. So that's what i think this quote means.
