{UAH} WHY CAN'T OUR PROFESSIONALS BE LIKE EINSTEIN?

In science, it is generally accepted that Albert Einstein was top of the range but, still, Albert lived in a little house provided to him by the IAS till he died, and asked that it be kept as a residence for others after his demise. His request was honored. A really competent person doesn't seek wealth, the work function is all the reward that's necessary for them.

There are a few professionals in Uganda that have emulated Albert. For instance, I understand that Hajji Hussein Kyanjo, Imam Kasozi and Professor Abasi Kiyimba, live a moderately simple life. They have not buried their hearts into worldly things so much.There is also Hajji Kawaase, former Headmaster of Kibuli S.S- he isn't invested in the wealth of this world- he looks at worldly life in the prism of 'life in this world is temporary', and he's right. As a result, these guys have helped a lot of orphans and needy people, in one way or the other. I don't know whether this is much to do with Islam in them, than their own inborn characters.Wealth is only important to those imbued with a poverty of spirit. Albert pre-promised his Nobel prize money to his ex-wife as part of his divorce settlement.
