I personally don't assing much "absolute" positive value to being rich and famous, I've just noticed that a lot of people seem to do that.

People we consider successful and model after or cite as examples, do not necessarily aim to be rich and/or famous. They attract what they focus on and sometimes for some of them their success/achievements become well known and celebrated.

Exactly. That's my point. Einstein didn't aim at becoming rich or famous. He just wanted to pursue doing what he loved.
I've seen some LOA videos on Youtube that are very much focused on money and other shallow things, misleading people to believe that those shallow things actually matter in life. Those videos go on to claim that if you just believe that you have money etc, then you will have money. And then some people are led to think that the best "technique" in becoming succesful in life is to just try very hard to believe untrue claims such as "I have plenty of money" when, in fact, the key in becoming succesful is to simply enjoy life as it is now and to do what you love.

BTW, Einstein was very spiritual. Read his quotes and you'll realize how much he valued imagination, intuition, etc. above "science". Like many great inventors, he received knowledge and information from the Universe during his daily naps.

Yeah, I know he was spiritual.
