Early Life and Childhood
Einstein had an unusual childhood - he didn't speak until 
age 2.5 and preferred solitude over playing with others. 
Despite this, he grew up to become one of history's 
greatest minds.
There is even a story, likely more legend than fact, shared 
by historian Otto Neugebauer. According to the tale, after a 
long silence at the dinner table, young Einstein finally 
spoke, declaring, "The soup is too hot." When asked why he 
hadn't spoken before, he replied, "Because up to now 
everything was in order."

Education and Personal 
Relationships
Early Education
Einstein showed early 
signs of brilliance, 
particularly in mechanical 
toys, once wondering why 
his newborn sister didn't 
have wheels.
School Experience
Though a headmaster 
predicted he would fail in 
life, Einstein excelled in 
most school subjects, 
especially in Munich, 
before leaving school at 
the age of 15 due to his 
disdain for the rigid rules.
Personal Life
In Switzerland, Einstein 
pursued higher education 
in mathematics and 
physics at the University 
of Zurich. Here, he met 
Mileva Maric, a fellow 
student who shared his 
love for science. They 
married and had two 
sons, although their 
marriage eventually 
ended in divorce.
