Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs.
The two perfect geniuses changed the history of the world, but they had painful scars in their personal lives.
In 1902, Einstein lived in a small apartment in Bern, Switzerland, and began working as an employee of the Patent and Trademark Office.
While working as a patent office, Einstein still did not lose his passion for study.
He corresponded with Mileva Marich, a Serbian who studied physics together in college, and continued to interact.
And the next year they became a couple.
The two discussed physics late into the night and had an academic conversation together.
In 1905, Einstein gained academic fame for his theory of special relativity, but as time passed, the distance between his husband, who was immersed in research, and his wife, who was tired of daily life, grew increasingly distant.
Once a fellow scientist, she became a wife hidden in the shadow of her genius husband.
In 1914, Einstein was offered a position as a professor at the University of Berlin.
He headed to Berlin alone, and Mileva and his two sons remained in Zurich.
That’s when the separation actually began.
In Berlin, Einstein became close to his cousin Elza and officially divorces Mileva five years later.
There was an unusual clause in their divorce agreement.
Einstein promised to give Mileva the full prize if he received the Nobel Prize one day.
The prize money that has not yet been received is presented as alimony.
Shortly after his divorce from Mileva, Einstein remarried Elza.
Three years later, in 1922, Einstein finally won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
And sent a huge sum of 32,000 Swedish kronor at the time, about $1.2 million in today’s value, to Mileva.
Mileva bought three apartments in Zurich with the prize money sent by Einstein.
One was an apartment where he would live, and the other was a rental apartment where his son would live.
But the calm did not last long.
The symptoms of mental illness began to appear in his second son Eduard, who was in his late teens.
Einstein, a genius physicist, was powerless in front of his son’s illness.
Einstein sent letters and medical bills, but what his sick son really needed was a father by his side.
But it was his mother, Mileva, who stood by him and cared for him.
Einstein fled to the United States in 1933 to escape the Nazis and never met Eduard again.
The son spent his whole life moving between a mental hospital and home, and his mother, Mileva, took care of him until the end.
Decades later, paradoxically, another genius took a similar path.
Steve Jobs had his first daughter, Lisa Brennan.
Jobs initially denied Lisa’s existence, who was born in 1978.
Even after the DNA test results came out, he refused to admit his daughter’s existence, saying, ’28 percent of American men may be her father.’
After being sentenced to child support, only the minimum was paid.
Ironically, however, Apple’s personal computer project was Lisa.
Jobs had long denied it was named after his daughter, but later admitted that he had written her name in his autobiography.
Both geniuses have something in common that they fled their relationship with their first family.
They couldn’t endure a relationship that hindered their achievements, even if they were family members.
The family was the distraction of the genius, and ordinary life felt like a prison to them.
Ironically, however, they both showed completely different appearances after remarrying.
Einstein had a relatively stable family life after remarrying Elza.
Jobs married Lauren Powell, had three children and tried to become a devoted father.
However, the wounds suffered by the first families were not erased forever.
In their later years, the two regretted it in their own ways.
Einstein expressed his regret for his first family in a letter to his friend.
Jobs tried to mend fences with Lisa later in life.
Lisa died in 2011 of her father Jobs.
But decades of lost time have not returned.
What Eduard and Lisa really wanted was not a genius father, but an ordinary father who would just share his daily life.
