Weeks before his death in 1955, Albert Einstein offered a quiet but enduring challenge to the way human beings keep score: pursue value, not success. The distinction — between what one accumulates and what one contributes — has grown more urgent, not less, as modern culture has built ever more sophisticated instruments for measuring the wrong things. Einstein was not alone in this intuition; Aristotle had traced the same path centuries before, calling it eudaimonia. What is new is not the wisdom, but the depth of the forgetting.
