About this Quote

Albert Einstein's quote recommends that intelligence alone is inadequate to make a great scientist. Instead, it is the character of the person that is the most crucial element. He implies that a scientist must possess specific qualities such as stability, devotion, and determination in order to be successful. These qualities are vital for a researcher to be able to believe critically and make discoveries. Furthermore, Einstein recommends that a researcher needs to be willing to take dangers and be open to new ideas in order to make development. He likewise indicates that a researcher must have the ability to work well with others and have the ability to interact their ideas efficiently. Eventually, Einstein's quote suggests that it is not just intelligence that makes a fantastic researcher, but rather the character of the person.
