THEORY OF RELATIVITY REVISITED

If Einstein had his own version of the theory of (special) relativity which was based on the structure of spacetime, there is also another school of hard-knocks-based theory of relativity:

"The more successful one is, the more relatives he or she has!” 

Note: There may be truth to this as well as on the opposite scenario, ie, no one generally "knows" you or even wants to be associated with you when you are down and out on your luck. The lesson here is always take the essential steps to protect your position so that it cannot be vulnerable to the vicissitudes of time and/or man's frailties.
