| Albert Einstein’s Journey -Author Unknown-
Albert Einstein once boarded a train in Princeton, New Jersey, bound for Boston. Einstein immediately began fumbling for his ticket upon finding a seat on the train. He had either misplaced the ticket, dropped it, or just did not have it with him. The train's conductor noticed Einstein's frantic search as he checked the other passengers' tickets in the car. Finally arriving at Einstein's seat the conductor asked the renowned scientist if he had his train ticket. Einstein replied that he seemed to have misplaced it and had been searching for it since he took his seat. The conductor said, 'Mr. Einstein, I, and everyone else on this train, know who you are and are sure you have a ticket. Rest assured that you have a seat on this train'. Einstein looked very relieved but still puzzled as to his ticket's whereabouts. When the conductor finished checking the whole car he walked down the aisle and tapped Einstein on the shoulder and said, 'Dear Sir, I have total faith and confidence that you have a ticket. Please take your seat and be sure you can ride this train'. To which Einstein replied, 'Thank you again, kind sir, but I need to locate that train ticket to find out where I am going!'
