Usually, when workers are looking for tips, they don't mean advice. But sometimes it can prove quite valuable.
In November 1922, Albert Einstein was traveling for a lecture series, during which he'd been awarded the Nobel prize in Physics. While staying at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, he received a delivery, but didn't have money to tip the courier. So he jotted a message, written in German, signed it, and handed it to the messenger: "A calm and humble life will bring more happiness than the pursuit of success and the constant restlessness that comes with it."
Last year at auction, the handwritten note sold for $1.56 million.
