Albert Einstein born on 14 March 1879 in the German city of Ulm, His mother thought he is a freak, To her, his head seemed too large and his brain was 15 times bigger in size than a normal brain

Einstein wasn't speaking even at the age of two and a half, he uttered even after he learned to speak, his friends called him "Brother Boring" because he 

was not good enough to play with other children, he played with mechanical toys most of the time, he called his newborn sister while looking at her "fine where are her wheels?"

One day a headmaster told his Father he won't succeed no matter which profession he chooses, 

he started to learn to play the violin because his mother wanted him to,

he became an amateur violinist he took this art with him throughout his life, He went to a school in Munich and scored good marks almost in each subject but he unfortunately hated the school regimentation and often clashed with teachers, At the age of 15 He left the school, His parents moved to Milan and left him with relatives

He continued his education in German-Speaking Switzerland because that city was more liberal than Munich,  After finishing school he decided to study at the university of Zurich, There he started liking a girl Mileva Maric,

Einstein wrote"How happy and proud I shall be when we both have brought our work on relativity to a victorious conclusion" at the age of 21(1900) einstein was a university graduate and unemployed, he 

worked as a teaching assistant, and finally secured a job in 1902 as a technical expert,

 he was supposed to assess other people's inventions but instead, he was developing his own ideas in secret, jokingly he was called his desk drawer at work, while he was busy with physics his private life was a disaster, 

he wanted to marry Mileva but his mother denied thinking that she couldn't be housewife material and she was three years older than Einstein, but finally, the pair married in 1903 and had two sons, but later

Mileva was losing her ambitions and couldn't be a happy wife after years of continuous fighting The couple finally divorced in 1919,
