Person of the Century The votes are in and Time has named Albert Einstein as the Person (Man) of the Century. pathfinder.com Jed and I are very happy that Albert Einstein was named as the Person of the Century as we have something in common with him. I'll bet there is a CEO of a major networking company that is very happy too. We are proud of Albert because he thought great thoughts but his greatest work was what he overcame. You see Albert was believed to be dyslexic and unless you are dyslexic, you just can't understand what this honor means. Being dyslexic is often more than being a bad speller. It is numbers and letters that get switched or flipped and words that get switched. Your brain automatically flips a 606 to a 909, a d to g, there for their, etc. To me Albert Einstein is a hero in many ways. He showed us that dyslexia is unrelated to intelligence and more important, that man is only limited by what he can dream or reason. Albert Einstein is a hero of Jed and mine as is Thomas Edison, Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill, and many others, all were believed to be dyslexic. A CEO of a major is also a modern day hero of Jed and I as well. I think what all people who have (not suffer from) dyslexia have in common is we have to try a little harder at things that are set up for the way most people see things. Trying harder is not a bad thing to have to do. My beret is off Albert Einstein, bringing home the bacon for the Century for all dyslexics. 909S2ALL, BLUE
