Scientifically, you can learn many things from Einstein, but even bloggers and writers can use his words to improve their craft. Here are a few life lessons from this scientific genius that you can apply in your blogs:
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
Every writer has their own style. Comparing your writing skills to others, and being someone you are not, won't take you anywhere else. You have to understand your strengths, weaknesses, and passion to better write blogs that will reach your audience. Novice bloggers are good recipients of this advice. Sometimes, being new in the writing world, makes them consevative writers. They just copy other writers and forget about their own voice and style.
“I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right”
See how perseverance works? Not because your blogs don't work on attracting readers and traffic, doesn't mean you should stop what you are doing. It takes planning, perseverance and time for your website to achieve your set goals. Einstein understands this that is why, despite failing multiple times, he still works on improving his ideas and achieve great results in the end.
“A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.”
Albert Einstein made innovative inventions because of his superb imagination. Every writer should imbibe Einstein within them. They should think outside the box and think more than the conventional stories, or plots everyone is familiar. Stop following formulas when you are writing, only when you oppose the norm will you create blogs that will drive better traffic and share.
“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.”
As a writer it is your job to tell stories or information that everyone can understand. Brevity and information are the keys to creating quality articles. When you are writing, keep in mind that you are writing for the people. You have to reach out to them and make sure that they can understand what you are saying. Saying things in the simplest form also makes you more credible and believable.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
Always think outside the box because imagination is the true power of any writer. Sometimes, situations push you to publish topics that are already published in another website. To make it worthy of reading, you have to think of fresh angles and ideas to make the topic look new. Often, being imaginative works better than sticking to conventions.
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
Aside from blogging, analyzing reader's interests is important to improve your site's quality. If you keep on writing the same things and not achieving anything, maybe it's time to try new strategies to boost your website. It is a process of trial and error, and learning from the experts. It is truly insane to keep doing the same strategies and expect an improvement in traffic or sales.
“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”
As you might have known, managing a blog is difficult. You are bound to make errors. Do not be afraid to commit mistakes because these will make you a better blogger. You will learn to understand how your readers think, and write articles they like. You will also understand how the Google algorithm works.
Take these lessons by heart and you won't only improve your blog and writing style, but also your life.
