Albert Einstein learned that he had won the Nobel Prize when he was in Tokyo to give lectures in 1922. He wanted to give a bellboy at his hotel a tip, but he didn’t have any money. Instead, he wrote a note and gave it to man. The note said that a calm life made people happier than always trying hard to succeed. He told the bellboy that the note would probably be worth more than a tip because he was famous. Now, almost 100 years later, Einstein was right. The note sold at an auction for $1.56 million dollars (almost 178 million yen)! (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
