Great scientists are usually curious. Albert Einstein is no exception. When he was only a child, he received a compass from his father and was interested in it. For him, the compass was the most interesting toy he had ever seen. And once Einstein felt curious about one question, he would devote himself to finding the answer. Such was Einstein's curiosity that he published the theory of relativity and became the greatest scientist in the world

The talent on science of Einstein is surprising. However,  what makes Einstein become a great person is that he always keeps thinking and being modest. Most of Einstein's teachers didn't like him because he always asked questions that his teacher couldn't answer. And he also said "Imagination is more important than knowledge" Keeping thinking and doubting the "common sense" is why Einstein can published the theory that no one had discovered it before. In addition, Einstein is always modest. He usually thanks other people for helping him to reaching achievement. Einstein's story tells us the characteristic of a great person is not only brilliant but also the respectable personality.
