That amazing anthro was really onto something! And he LOVED HIS CATS. His passion for problem-solving extended to his pets, too. A widely shared anecdote tells how he found a typically left-field solution to a seemingly simple problem: his two cats’ constant requests to be let in and out of his study. He is said to have cut two cat shaped holes – one little and one large – so each cat could come and go unimpeded by the other.
Well, we liked this thought from Albert Einstein for our spark:
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
That seems so logical to me, for if I created a problem for myself and there appears to be no solution, it’s probably because mama unplugged the TV by tripping over the cord and is now yelling, “LOULOU, our TV doesn’t work – what did you DO?”
Creative thinking, that’s what we need around here.
But seriously, folks, how many times have you ranted and raved about something not working and it’s just not plugged in, haha.
We also love another quote from Mr E:
“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”
Of course, my most imaginative discoveries are when I am doing sleep yoga…
I dreamed that my bowl was empty. What to do, what to do?. Can’t reach the kibble, can’t open my wet food.
AHA! A little squiggly sidle-up to the chef, a seductive paw-lick, and a few kitty kisses ALWAYS does the trick…
We think you have gotten a lot of your wisdoms from such a great dude!
A long time ago, one of my friends asked my son…a tech head…to see if he could come to her house to help with her computer troubles. He was done in less than 30 seconds, because it WAS unplugged!! First thing to check when things go blank..the power supply…duh!
OH, FOR YOUR SON AROUND HERE!
Purrfect Sparks and we loved to see your close-up, LouLou, that sparkled the most😸Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day🐾😽💞
Aw, merci, all of you. I learned to sparkle from you two adorables.
Glad you figured out a way to get that food dish filled, Loulou. That plan works every time.
I’m working on more seductive exercises…maybe for steak!
Mr. E was a very smart man with some very amazing ideas. I think you have things figured out though – the fine art of people manipulation gets us MOST things we want!!
Hugs, Teddy
Aren’t we just awful, Teddy-ready? But education includes lots of areas…as does creativity!
What a clever man cutting holes the shape of his cats, Loulou. A few kitty kisses will get you a long way. 😉
Hey, but papa said, “The little cat can always go in the big hole”…I wonder if Einstein thought of that….
Einstein was really amazing and that is the purrfect quote.
Imaginations must occasionally run WILD and then be edited, maybe…
Those are great sparks. XO
We love Mr E. And love your vision boards!
Satterfield’s Law (a corollary of Murphy’s Law) : It works better if you plug it in.”
Albert was quite the guy!
There is a cute movie, “I.Q.” with Meg Ryan and Tim Robbins, with Walter Matthau playing Albert Einstein.
I think your peeps would like it, Loulou.
I think they might have seen if but if not, you will know soon!
