Albert einstein's handwritten theory about hapiness sold for $1.56m

Money can't buy happiness, but $1.56 million
can buy Albert Einstein's happiness theory.
Two notes written by the famous physicist
recently sold for well above their expected
value at a Jerusalem auction house.
During Einstein's trip to Japan in 1922 to
receive the Nobel Prize in physics, he wrote
notes on how to live a fulfilling life while
staying at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. When
a messenger delivered something to his
room, the German-born physicist gave him
two of the autographed notes, because he
didn't have a tip available. Einstein said the
notes could be worth more than a tip one
day. He was right.
One note, written in German translates to: "A
calm and modest life brings more happiness
than the pursuit of success combined with
constant restlessness."It was expected to sell for between $5,000
and $8,000, according to the Winner's
Auctions and Exhibitions website . Instead, a
bidding war lasting about 25 minutes ended
in a sale of $1.56 million, the Associated
Press reports.
The second note, which read "where there's
a will there's a way," sold for $240,000, far
above it's estimated value of between $4,000
and $6,000.
