字条的卖家介绍称，不管当时是哪种情况，爱因斯坦不想让邮递员空手离去，所以他就用德文手写了两张字条。字条的卖家是那位邮递员的亲戚。

"Maybe if you're lucky those notes will become much more valuable than just a regular tip," Einstein told the messenger, according to the seller, a resident of the German city of Hamburg who wished to remain anonymous.

据卖家称，爱因斯坦对邮递员说，“如果你幸运的话，这些字条可能会比寻常小费有价值得多。”卖家是德国汉堡市一位不愿透露姓名的居民。

One note, on the stationary of the Imperial Hotel Tokyo, says that "a quiet and modest life brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant unrest."

其中一句话是写在一张东京帝国酒店便签纸上的：“平静朴素的生活带来的快乐比追逐成功、永无安宁的生活带来的快乐更多。”

The other, on a blank piece of paper, simply reads: "where there's a will, there's a way."

另外一句话写在一张空白纸上：“有志者事竟成。”

It is impossible to determine if the notes were a reflection of Einstein's own musings on his growing fame, said Roni Grosz, the archivist in charge of the world's largest Einstein collection, at Jerusalem's Hebrew University.

耶路撒冷希伯来大学的档案保管员罗尼•格罗茨掌管着全世界最大的爱因斯坦藏品。格罗茨说，无法确定这些字条是否反映了爱因斯坦对自己与日俱增名气的反思。
